Orders still coming in...

I had 3 orders for Mother's Day come in yesterday. They said "don't worry, we know it will be late - no rush" but if they are anything like me, I hate being late, so I was able to work on them last night and got both of them their orders already. I hope everyone likes their Mother's Day gifts!!!!

Mother's Day Gifts - Preschool Style

No matter how many times I have received the handprints, I love it each and every time! The saying is so very true. And the plant...do you remember how last year's seeds turned into this plant? We'll see if I can keep it alive this year - if I had to guess, I would say it has about a 50/50 chance in my house! :)

A few more...

Kyle wanted to stamp his own necklace for his Mom for Mother's Day. Isn't it just the best? I love the homemade gifts the kids make - they are by far my favorite gifts ever! And...together we came up with a new design!

Mother's Day Madness!

I had 16 orders to fill this weekend, the majority of them were for Mother's Day (I cannot post 2 of them because they are blog readers and their husbands want to surprise them!) I just finished my last one!!! I have a few new favorites...what do you think?

More Spring Blossoms

I couldn't resist grabbing my camera when I saw these two gorgeous trees. In these hurricane-like winds we have endured for the past 3 days, my tree lost all of the beautiful blossoms. I am surprised these trees endured the wind that took away the neighbor's patio set, knocked ours to the ground, ripped the tarp off of our swingset, and landed the neighbor's downspouts in our yard. It was loud enough to wake us at night. Okay, enough with the wind, we're ready to enjoy this spring weather!!!!

Birthday Party

The boys and I attended Paige's birthday party next door today. They had a jumping castle, a balloon-making clown, and plenty of kid-friendly food and cake. The castle was by far, the hit with the kids. They had a great time!!!!

Favorite

Without fail, Carter takes a toy with him to bed every night. 99% of the time, that toy is still clutched in his hand when he wakes up in the morning. He has a drawer full of his favorites, but lately, his new Spiderman has taken the lead!
