Valentines day is coming up... I'm feeling crafty ... and because of my addiction to Pinterest...

Here are some blogs posts that have got my creative juices boiling....

I'm thinking.... that since Jessica LOVES to use her quill pen... that I will have her write cute little things on card stock... and then I'll have her help me make part of the valentine  a scratch off...

I'm not sure that I want to do this for Shane.... I can imagine that might take more patience than I have... so I think I'll do most for him and he can do 4-5-- that way the valentines are finished in time for this years Valentines' day!... 
Shane currently has a head cold and so he is not very accommodating... grrr.
Is it wrong to duct tape the box of Kleenex to the body of your child?
We had plans for a Super Bowl party at a friends' new  house in Yoncalla... but since Shane is so stuffed up and slow to blow his nose-- I think we will stay home and not infect other people!. 

*and Patty.... as for that law about the kids being close by.... I didn't find the exact law-- but I would rather have access to the library as apposed to no access...so I'm not gonna rock the boat at this point in time. The lady I spoke with on the phone was very nice and I think the library is just trying to  be... pro-active.
Although... Shane will be 10 next year... I wonder if the library really wants him -- free to roam the library? They might regret the age limit.  :)
