Oh Me Oh My! editedagain

First off, thank you all for your suggestions for our weekend getaway :) We're still tossing a few things around and working on a babysitter but I will update sooooon!

Now, onto the purpose of this post. I just had to share something I found today. If I can get my act together (I have so much going on right now it's not even funny), I am SOOOO going to make these for my kids teachers. They are too cute not too! They look really simple to make as well.

More details AND instructions with step by step pictures can be found over on the You Can Make This blog. They have so many great crafty ideas on this site! Enjoy!

**Ya know, after reading through their directions, I think I am going to go a more edible (and less messy route) by using toothpicks to attach the taffy instead of hot glue.**

***I CAN'T FIND TAFFY ANYWHERE! HELP!!!!***

Happy Valentine's Day (Belated!)

This year David was scheduled to work on Valentine's Day BOOOOO!!! So we decided that on the 13th, we'd do my birthday dinner - I picked Jake's Tex Mex mmmmmm - and then we'd take the kids to their promised Build A Bear treat. We'd been promising them this for months. It was packed when we got there (an hour before closing) and the biggest bummer was that their stuffing machine was broken :( So the kids picked out the animal they wanted from their display and didn't get to kiss the hearts and put em in or anything! If you've never had a BAB experience I probably just lost you huh? Sorry! Basically they have this row of bins full of different animal skins, you pick the one you want, pick up a heart, take it over to the stuff and watch the stuffing FILL UP you're animal, then they sew up the back and send you on your way. I have to admit, it is pretty cool! We ended up having Colby's UNsewn, a heart put in, and then resewn because he was pretty upset about missing out on that part. Lacie didn't seem to mind but in hindsight we should have had hers done too because the next day her's came UN sewn anyway! Anywho here are a few pics from our night o' LOVE!
