A little behind...

I uploaded these on Valentine's Day....running a bit behind. Such is life, right?

We (read:I) carved potato stamps to make Valentines and Delaney had fun stamping. I remember making these as a child.








Then we got really ambitious and decided to make melted crayon cakes...







I do believe Dawson thought they were cookies!




We also used some red and pink crayon shavings to make Martha's stained-glass hearts...



And then to add to their excitedness we made cupcakes and buttercream icing...



I think they enjoyed themselves, don't you?! We had a great afternoon - I'm sure there's a St.Patrick's party coming up too. And an Easter party....you get the picture.

    Just found your blog thru Mystele. As a 48 y.o. mom of adult children, let me say how very refreshing it is to see a mom put such beautiful detail and effort into the simple joys of family, art & sharing. In a world of working moms and bling, it warms my soul to see the new generation of moms making time to pull out an apron and emulate more than just the talents of baking and crafting but the talent of displays of LOVE. No matter what, these children will always love you richly & deeply because of these memories. KUDOS Mommie & generous blessings on your yet unseen babe.
    kindest regards, Darly
