Valentine Dinner with the Heyborne's

I made a really easy dinner so after church I had the time to set up the table all Valentine's-y. I just used scrapbook paper and a decoration I made for valentine's as the centerpeice.

I had a little too much fun for just setting the table.

We ate and played Ryan's new little toy, a new xbox and the kinect. Trish brought yummy dessert. All in all I had a lot of fun that night. I hope everyone else did  too!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I had some fun with photoshop...I hope you enjoy so that all that time was worth it.

Table Manners

Elise usually doesn't like to get dirty and eats very daintily. Honestly, I usually don't even use a bib when I feed her. Today during our all orange lunch though, I found out that if she doesn't like her food (namely macaroni and cheese) that she has no qualms about spreading it all over her face, and hair, and hands, and shirt, and table, and chair.

I had to blow this one up so you wouldn't miss the chunk of macaroni stuck in her eyelashes. She's eating the mandarin oranges by the way. I didn't even get her to try one single noodle. She would just stick her tongue out and taste it and hit the fork away. Sigh.

She looks so old here, No more baby girl, although I still call her that.

Oh yeah, she was having a blast.

We're working right now on the basics of table manners. I don't care if she wants to eat the food but food goes either in your mouth or on the plate. We are still learning.

I lied, sorry

This is the last valentine's decoration I'll blog about. I started it first and finished it last. So you can see why I'm a little confused about it's order. I love this one. It's beautiful for being made of crepe paper and a Styrofoam ball.

Total Cost: $3.99 for the Styrofoam ball (I did have a 40% off coupon but I used it on something more expensive. 2 things of crepe paper at $.89 each. I didn't use much of the second one but I needed it to make the ball look nice.

less than two weeks

Less than two weeks til Valentine's Day and I got my last decoration done. That's good for me (seeing as how I already admitted to not being done with my Christmas side still, I did that one too by the way. I choose Holy Night) Anyway here are my blocks. It feels good to have it all done.
