The Valentine Elf

On Sunday, the Valentine Elf came to our home. He brought Addy a princess crown and necklace and Spencer a magnifying glass, and "robot arm." (Clif did a great job at picking them out).

Spencer was so excited. He took his magnifying glass with him to church, and on the way he saw dinosaur prints! He keeps asking to look for bugs, but it is still a little too cold out.

I had to laugh because he posed for this picture all by himself.

Addy on the other hand is glaring because she doesn't want us to take it. The perfect princess!

Fun Crafts

My good friend has started a craft bussiness and a few weekends ago had a craft day at her home. I signed up to make almost one of everything, because she is such a good price! Here is what I finished that night: I think it turned out really cute!

I am excited to finish my other projects this weekend with my sister-in-laws!!

If you are interested in making anything or having it made, her website is http://www.nicnakcrafts.blogspot.com/

She is coming up with new ideas all the time and does custom orders.

Spencer is 3!

Here is a comparison between 1 and 3.

I can't believe Spencer is 3 years old! It still feels just like yesterday when I had him. Time goes by so fast, but I wouldn't stop it because I love this stage he is at. I sure to do love him, he is my little boy!

-Spencer loves to play games.
-He can count to 20 with only skipping a few numbers.
-He loves puzzles.
-He loves to count things.
-He loves to read books and we go to the library once a week.
-He loves farm animals.
-He is learning to sound out and read cat, dog, and a few other 3 letter words.
-He likes dinosaurs and wants to know what each one is called (Example: Is this a triceratops?)
-He sings all the time and is starting to sing the whole song instead of parts of it.
-He loves shows.
-He can write the letter A and B.
-He loves monsters.
-He loves to give hugs, especially to his sister.
-He is really tender hearted.
-When he says sorry, he really is.
-His favorite sayings are: "It's over! 1 more minute. No, Addy!"

We were all sick for his birthday so we didn't do much. I put 3 candles in his grilled cheese sandwich for lunch, he opened gifts, and had cupcakes. He got a lego table from my mom and dad. We got him some play mats, and an easel and art supplies. We haven't even opened it yet because we thought it would be easier for when we move, but then we had to go with a different builder, so it won't be July until we move. So I plan on setting it up for him this week.

Helping dad put the table together.

 last Thursday, February 11th, we took him and his best friend Abi to the Kangaroo Zoo, his favorite place. They ate at McDonalds and then played until they closes at 8:00. They had a lot of fun.  Abi gave him is favorite gummy sugary worms, and a lightsaber.
