My kids love holidays. And crafts. My kids love holidays and crafts. So Valentine's Day, which has no real religious significance, is pretty much all about the cute things you can make. We already made Valentine's Day wands, as I previously posted, but since then, we've done many more Valentine's activities.
 |
| Exhibit one: Heart-shaped pizza, two days before Valentine's Day. This was Elliot's idea, in keeping with our Jack-o-Lantern pizza for Halloween. |
 |
| Have I mentioned there has been a massive amount of snow here? We're starting to go stir-crazy. Some other homeschooling friends ventured out on a day when regular school was cancelled to decorate cookies and make crafts. We were busy the entire 3 hours they were over. |
 |
| Ruby did ice her cookies, but then she realized the icing was delicious. She licked it all off of her cookies, then just ate it straight out of her icing cup. |
 |
| My meticulous Elliot: he is great at perfection. |
 |
| Dottie loved decorating with many kinds of sprinkles. |
 |
| See? The insane amounts of snow. We probably have more than 2 feet of snow on the ground. And it's still snowing. |
 |
| I feel bad, being pregnant and unsteady, and therefore useless when it comes to shoveling. So I send out my two elder children and take pictures of them and my parents, hard at work. |
 |
| We made Valentine candle jars. Tissue paper, glue water, and glitter. I regret the glitter. Such a mess. |
 |
| Our Valentine's Day feast was French Onion Soup. Dottie's request. It was amazing. I strongly suggest homemade french onion soup. |
 |
| This sweet salad was really yummy too: craisins, feta, mixed greens, and pears. |
 |
| The best part? A hunk of toasted bread in the middle of the soup. And we had, of course, Cherry Berries on a Cloud, of which I took no picture . |
 |
| We did school on Saturday, today. I want to make sure we'll be done for the year in plenty of time for the baby to arrive, so we're doing a few Saturdays to ensure that will happen. |

Wow, great pictures! You certainly are the craftiest mother! Very precious. That's a mad amount of snow. That was very lucky I made it out when I did!
Love you so much!
By the way, if you're wondering who the person is that's visiting this blog from Qatar, that would be me...
Where's the background picture of your blog come from?
Char, can you come cook for Jared and I? All that food looks so yummy!
Love these blog posts, Char! You really excel at being a fun, creative mom and in sharing your ideas it helps me want to do the same. We had the stomach flu during valentines day this year, so the cheery berries never got made, but I'm going to make it "just cause" as soon as I have the time. Isn't cherry berries for breakfast the best?
Ha ha. Ryan's comment about the heart pizza....That's a math pie with sugar and blueberries! He's a little confused, but the olive pizza looks delicious!
one more thing. Ryan calls the candles "lantern drinks". He says Dottie and Elliot are drinking out of the lantern drinks!
She is a gorgeous little girl and she looks really good!

When I downloaded this picture I displayed her life size. She appeared to be directly in front of me and I got a big kick out of that. She looks so good I decided to lean close and get me some big juicy kisses off this gorgeous little beauty! The picture is clear and sharp and the display warm and silky smooth so it seemed like I was really getting to kiss this good looking girl, and that was awesome! I literally took my time and enjoyed every kiss.
