friends and hearts

A totally random title for a few of last week's goodies!

Bethany loves to craft and paper crafting is her outlet of choice.  So far she has taught several of us how to make these cute little paper boxes that can be used for gifts, to store random trinkets or just as little pretties to leave sitting around.  Last Thursday we had a craft night complete with the best homemade gourmet popcorn, Bethany's famous chocolate cookies and an impressive arsenal of embellishments!!

I did not get a chance to snap a photo on Friday but Jason were able to have an early Valentine's Day date thanks to PNO (Parent's Night Out) at church.  We had a lovely dinner that involved adult conversation and an adult beverage or two.  It was a well needed outing!

Saturday was one of the most glorious days we have had in quite some time.  The skies were blue, the sun was shinning and I think it topped out around 70 degrees.  Me and the trio met Candace and her three at the church playground for some lunch and playtime.  I was able to get this self portrait with baby Asher!  Really, this is one super cute kiddo!!

On Sunday morning, Sam woke up early as per usual and in an effort to let the girls keep sleeping (and daddy too) we headed out for some coffee and donuts.  As it was the day before Valentine's Day, Southern Maid was offering these ginormous heart shaped donuts with hot pink icing.  Hmmm hmmm!  Kids got those while me and Jason got Starbucks.

Monday, Valentine's Day!!  When we got home, Tootsie had left these fun heart balloons along with several other fun goodies.  Dinner was topped off with cupcakes I made for the day.  I'd say we all had our fill of sugar!  I don't know what kind of crazy face Sam is making but this is as good as I could get!
After almost 8 years of marriage, my husband has finally embraced my love language, acts of service, and had dinner cooked for everyone, bathed the kids, put them to bed and did some laundry while I enjoyed an early evening run.  He's the best and I really do appreciate all of the gifts he bestows on my daily!

First Sam wrote his name!!  We have been practicing "S" a lot but he usually gets frustrated and throws the crayon but yeah, he did it this time!  He has the "A" down but it looks like his "M" could use a little work so his name doesn't read Saw!  Regardless I'm proud!  Not too bad for a 3 year, 357 day old!!

 Look what my husband surprised me with last night!  I heart Samoas!  What a treat after a long Wednesday.

I'm having lots of fun with my little project and it is making me much more aware of life around me and how quicly it passes.  Looking forward to more gems throughout the year ~

Enjoyed it! Still a little sting from not being invited to craft night and a little jealous that you can eat that ice cream and be so tiny...but I love you, NTG!!

Candace said...

Ummm... I'm pretty sure you were invited, Rendi. You know craft night is ALWAYS open. I'm glad I finally crashed it.

Heart it, NTG!

William makes his M upside down too! It's hard when you have a W and a M in your name! We are still unable to make a S but can spell American Airline(s) without a hitch.....way to go Sam...I mean Saw!
