Valentines fun!

So it is over...Valentines Day is done but you know what???  Spring is right around the corner and I am feeling it.  Here are pics of the fun V-day we had.  Here is what we did.  The boys opened their cards from nana and g-pa and got money.....Ryan still wasn't home from work so the boys and I went to Game Stop and got a game called Batman and Robin for the playstation.  I begged for them to get Sonic so I could play but I was out-voted.  We then went to Little Ceasars and got a pizza, crazy bread, and Coke.  I made a chocolate chip pie too.  It was a winner!  I will post the recipe tomorrow here are some pics of our night

Valentine's Day box LOVE BOAT

Another snow day for us today so we made use of it and made Blaine's v-day box.  Blaine helped me a lot on it but I did a lot of the cutting.  He did a lot of the pasting.  We made it out of a converse shoe box.  Fun times!

Fun in the snow!

I may not be able to make a girl baby but I can make a girl snowman
