100th Day of School

Today is HISD's 100th day of school. My daughters school is having a parade and she had to decorate a t-shirt with 100 items, anything she wanted. She picked candy! We covered the front of the shirt with real candy and on the back we had some candy scrapbook paper so we cut em out and glued them on.

Too early in the morning for that flash! lol

And the cherry on top for me was her hair bow! I made it very last minute and it only took me a few minutes to throw it together. but i think it came out very cute!

Valentine's Day Crafts for Kids

http://www.wpclipart.com/holiday/valentines/valentine_hearts/many_hearts/hearts.png.html

V-day is a couple of weeks away! Already I feel like this year is flying by! Time to start making Valentines Day cards with Lexy. We always buy them ready to go but this year we are thinking of making them with the thoughts that they might come out better than a store bought card... Lets see how this goes.

We have been looking up ideas and so far one that I think looks really cute and easy is pencil toppers. (her teaccher asked for pencils anyway) you can find directions here

Valentine's Day Pencil Toppers

Another cute idea would be to go here Valentine's Day Coloring Pages and print out some coloring pages maybe try to fit 4 to a page and make small coloring books! On the front page we can put a Valentine's note!

More V-day crafts coming soon!
