Happy Valentine's Day!

SNOW DAY!

UPDATE: IT IS SNOWING:)

School is cancelled today.

Our first {that I can remember} ever SNOW DAY!

Yesterday the weather was promising us 2-4 inches of snow....it was supposed to snow here from about 8 am until noon.

That is a big deal, when we haven't seen snow here in at least 12 years.

But guess what we woke up to?!?

YEP!

Lots of cold and rain, but NO snow!

The forecast has officially changed to just rain, with the chance of {one} flurry around noon today!

The boys are a little disappointed.

Grant said, "I thought we were going to wake up when it was snowing?"

The worst part of it, is that there is snow about an hour north of us....but for some reason it just won't come down far enough south to blanket us with a little bit of the fun white stuff!

So I guess we will be spending our SNOW DAY {with no snow} watching cartoons and packing for our vacation.

At least I know for sure that we will see snow in North Carolina....even if it is made by a machine at the ski resort:)

Henry's Lunch

This was one of Henry's homework assignments last week. He had to write the sentence and illustrate it. He was very specific about what he had eaten for lunch that day. He even included his sandwich holder and the ziplock bag his carrots were in! I added the labels, just in case you aren't quite sure what everything is!

Henry's actually lunch: What do your kiddos normally eat for lunch?!?

Wordless Wednesday: Sweet Treats Are Good To Eat

Sweet Treats!

I found the cutest heart shaped cupcakes a few weeks ago while I was browsing around the internet looking for Valentine's Day ideas! They were cute, and they didn't require me to buy a special pan either....all I needed was some marbles.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
To make SUPER cute heart shaped cupcakes:

Line your muffin tins with paper cupcake holders.
Mix up your favorite cake batter.
Pour the batter into the liner making sure to only fill them up halfway. Then slide a marble between the liner and the muffin tin on one side. I found that it is best to only push the marble down a little bit, not all the way to the bottom of the cup.
Bake the cupcakes as directed.
Let them cool a little bit, then remove them from the muffin pan and cool completely.
Decorate the SUPER cute heart shaped cupcakes with lots of pink, red, and white sprinkles!
Then take lots of pictures because you are so proud of how cute they turned out!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I also made yummy Rice Krispy Treats using strawberry flavored {and heart shaped} marshmallows. Then I cut them out with my big heart shaped cookie cutter. They turned out so cute and even had a little bit of pink tint!
These would be even better with a little bit of chocolate drizzled on top...but I was trying not to eat ever single sweet treat that I made!

What kind of yummy treats are making for Valentine's Day?
