Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Join in on the Not Me ! Monday! fun.

I did NOT 'sample' some of the yummy candy that Henry brought home from his Valentine's party. I made sure not to buy a lot of Valentine's candy so that I wouldn't eat it.....I would NOT eat some of his candy just because there wasn't any other candy in the house.


I did NOT leave two laundry baskets full of Henry and Grant's clothes in the living room for the entire week. I did NOT leave them there after my wonderful husband washed and folded them for me and all I had to do was carry them upstairs and put them away. I would never be that big of a procrastinator.


I was NOT almost late for my friend's baby shower on Saturday because I was busy posting something on my blog. I would never be late just because I was playing around on the computer.


I did NOT go to Walmart on Sunday and stock up on 50% off Valentine goodies for next year {and some candy for this year!}. I don't have a ton of Valentine's stuff in the attic from doing the same thing the last three years either!


I did NOT ask a friend from church to follow my blog so that she would be #14 of my followers. I did NOT care that I had 13 followers, and the number didn't weird me out a little. I do not feel better now that it says 14! (update: 15!!)


I DO have two little boys at home with ear infections {in three ears} and both of them are on antibiotics! I hope they get better soon!!

Random Picture Challenge 6.0

Four Little Men and Girly Twins' Random Picture Challenge.

This weeks challenge (version 6.0) is to post the 3rd picture from your January 2007 (or 13th) picture folder.

Join in! It's SUPER fun!

These are the gingerbread houses that Jason and I made with the boys before Christmas. The picture is in my January file, because I took this picture right before I threw the gingerbread houses in the garbage!! I think most people like to eat their gingerbread houses, but ours were made our of graham crackers {which were probably extremely stale} and had been used for decorations for a week or two. Not my idea of a yummy snack!! You can tell they had been sitting out for a while....took at the melting peppermint on the house on the left!

A Cute Little Box

Henry's teacher sent home a note about two weeks ago, asking us to send in a decorated box for their Valentine's Day party. Because we were packing for Disney and then out of town all last week, we were a few days late getting started on his box. We worked on it Tuesday afternoon and then took it to school on Wednesday {I think everyone else brought theirs in on Monday}. Actually, Jason wrapped the box for me Monday night {he is much better at that kind of thing...straight edges and nice creased lines...than I am}. Henry and I decorated his box the next day with lots of red and white stickers {and few things that had to be hot glued on}.

His box turned out pretty cute, considering we just used some old craft stuff I had around the house. I think I may save this box and let him use it again next year, because you know they will be doing the whole Valentine mailbox thing in Kindergarten too!!

Henry had his very first Valentine's Day party at preschool today.

And I forgot my camera.

But I did get this picture of the inside of his Valentine's box and all the goodies he brought home.

He got all kinds of cute stuff....pencils, candy, bubbles, and cards! I think I am going to keep one or two or the cards....since these are the first Valentine's he has gotten from someone other than me or Jason!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
