l of snow, crafting, candy, doves, Valentines, cupids and well...Lots and lots of LOVE. (O.k. there really weren't any doves or cupids.) First on our list of February projects, the girls were assigned to bring a Valentines box to school. Dad helped them with the first part of the box by wrapping and cutting out the mail slot, then of course being the o.c.d. person that I am, that just wasn't enough so we added the last little bit as an after thought. (o.k. o.k. so that part wasn't so little.) But the girls were quite pleased with the result so it made for a pleasant "joint" project.

I had to throw in this amazing pic of a scene out my window this Feb. ENJOY!

It's about freakin' time! Excellent post. As always I'm left feeling inadequate. You are awesome. And I find it hard to believe your kids don't pick up their toys, afterall they're YOUR kids.
