Happy Heart Day!

We had a great, but busy Valentine's Day! I was able to split my time between Colden and Brindley's classrooms!

First was Brindley's! She has the most creative, amazing teachers ever! They had such a fun time with face painting, cookie decorating, pinning the arrow on the heart, passing out Valentines and having delicious snacks!
I was able to see them do the Pledge of Allegiance! Brindley is the flag holder! = )Cookie decorating!Saying a prayer!
I was a part of the planning committee for Colden's party, so of course it was so fun! ; ) We had BINGO, cookie decorating, a glittery craft, beading, and another cute craft!

So different at the elementary level...maybe not quite as fun or decorated! I'll miss that when both my babes are in school next year.
Colden and his buddy, Evan!

So blessed to be able to be there for my kiddos and thankful for my Mom who takes the other child when I'm away with the other one! How do people have more than 2 kids???

leavenworth getaway!

We went on a weekend getaway to Leavenworth! It was an absolute blast! The town was still decorated with all the lights from Christmas, we actually really enjoyed the town's spirit! So pretty!

Colden and Brindley's favorite part was definitely swimming in the hotel pool! We went in the evening when we checked in on Friday, twice on Saturday and again before we checked out! Apparently they miss their swim lessons!

We also enjoyed venturing out to one of our favorite little towns, Plain. They have the best hardware store that also happens to be a darling little store with jewelry, candles, etc! I found many goodies!

We walked thru all of the Leavenworth shops as well...I was so sad to find my favorite store that had mostly antiques and old fashioned decor to be closed. There was always a little old man behind the counter so proud of his store and so friendly, I will miss him and his store!

We also found time for a sleigh ride! The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the snow looked like it had sparkles in it as the sun glimmered down on it! Beautiful!

Out in front of Plain Hardware!

Ready for our sleigh ride!

Breathtaking views!

A sibling slumber party!
