Happy Valentine's Day

Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! This year I decided to be a little creative and make the boy's valentine cards. I let each of them decide what they wanted to put on their cards and I created them.

Daniel picked out a very cute connect the dots heart design for his card. When I asked Sammy what he wanted to put on his valentine's day card he said egg-in-the-hole. Egg-in-the-hole? Yep, he wanted to wish everyone a happy Egg-in-the-hole day. Sammy is going through a egg-in-the-hole phase right now. If he could he would be having eggs for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. When I asked Sammy why he wanted to put egg-in-the-holes on his card he replied, 'Because I love egg-in-the-hole'. So I came up with an egg Valentine's card that I think turned out pretty cute. (The images I used were created by Claudia Rose, who designs adorable stamps.)

Have a Happy Valentine's Day!

First Day of School

Well, not actually the FIRST day of school, but the first day of preschool for Sammy by himself. Yes, Sammy is finally in preschool. I know some people thought I would never let my youngest go off to preschool, but I finally made the decision. I think it was the begging and pleading of Sammy that finally convinced me that he was ready for preschool.

So the spring semester began on Monday and boy was Sammy excited. Since Monday is my work day, I was at class with Sammy on the first day. Wednesday I went to class but stayed in the background. Both days Sammy did great and had fun. Today was the real test. Today Sammy was on his own, he didn't even have Daniel with him because Daniel is sick, again. So this morning I headed off to school with just Sammy. After we got to school I stayed a little while and then told Sammy I was going to go. Sammy wanted me to stay with him, but after a little encouragement and convincing Sammy went off to play while I headed home.

It was a strange feeling leaving Sammy at preschool all by himself. Usually Daniel is with him, and Sammy still seems so little to me. It is exciting and kinda sad at the same time.

I guess everything was fine because I didn't get a call from Teacher Laurie, and my friend who we carpool with and brought Sammy home, said he was playing happily when she picked him up. I guess my little boy is growing up, whether I want to admit it or not.
