Valentine Prep, Matilda Jane, and CNock!

Valentine prep week is so fun to me! We went super simple again this year. I chose what Molly Caroline was giving based on what she likes right now...coloring and pouches! ;) Mimi got squeeze icing and a gift card to a local store that she buys all her baking supplies for her cake baking. 

I love that Molly Caroline got to help! This was so much fun that I think we will make heart crayons every year no matter what! 

And last year! Last year I chose goldfish because that fit her birthday party theme. 

Other than prepping Valentines our week consisted of gymnastics, church, reading, and lots of playing outside!

Oh and we received our first item of Matilda Jane. Gasp! I'm usually not a huge fan. I like it all for sure...but don't love the fabric patterns (sometimes they look muted) and the styles look kind of growny. However I did love several things in this collection. Yay!! And you know my rose baby (born in the city of roses and it's her birth month flower) needed rose pants! :) 

I was singing it over and over this week!! 

TGIF! 

Love is in the air...

I'm such a romantic and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE any reason to celebrate and create fun, festive memories.

I couldn't really find a garland I liked for the playroom so I made Molly Caroline two simple ones.

I still love the one I made for the kitchen last year.

Molly Caroline stuck little hearts all over the kitchen window. :) It kept her busy for a long while.

I've been loving using heart plates and place mats.

I've been cutting her food into hearts for two weeks now. :)

We will be finishing up her Valentines on Tuesday and then I will share those! 

Catch up-Bargain Bazaar, Gymnastics, and FUN!

Our weekends lately have been so beautiful!! We are loving our South GA winter so far! 

Last weekend we went to the park for the first time in several months. We have a park that we named Blakely's park years ago when we used to take Blakely there when she was a puppy...so of course we went there. And Blakely girl came too!

We also had a little low key neighborhood Superbowl Party. Afterwards Molly Caroline decided to climb out of her crib for the first time. Oh my goodness! She hasn't done it again since.

Last week was a blur. Bargain Bazaar set up week always is. 20 hours of time after working and being a  mama all day is tough! But worth it! The theme this year was Under the Big Top! SO MUCH FUN! The preview party, auction, and sale raised tons of money for the kids in our community! I kind of have to brag on my provisionals. They rocked it. Our department looked the best and they all stepped up and took initiative and kept busy taking lots of shifts!

Molly Caroline started gymnastics! She loved it! She is one of the youngest in there...but thankfully there are 2 other little girls her age (one has a birthday one day after MC...we were in the hospital together and in JSL together...typical small town life) and 2 more of our friends are starting in March. She loves the beams the best..high and low. She liked the trampoline, foam pit, climbing, and flipping. She did NOT love the bars. Haha! She loved running around and trying to do somersaults on her own and on the beam (which scared mama) and she loved twirling and doing arm movements like the high school girls that were in the gym practicing.

Thursday night was Barberitos night for my school, so that was fun! Molly Caroline also came with me up to set up on that night because Matt was working a little bit late. She loved playing with another cutie pie around her age. :) They really remind me of each other!

Saturday afternoon after I was FREE from league responsibilities ;) we ate a late lunch outside at George and Louie's, then spent the rest of the afternoon outside!

After church this morning, and a Publix trip, we ate lunch outside, and then had fun swinging! Molly Caroline cried every time we took her out of the swing because she loved it so much. She begs to go outside constantly. I'm thankful the weather should also be pretty this week!

I'm kind of overwhelmed with my job right now, so I'm just praying for a productive week, where I feel like I'm getting ahead a little bit. Valentine's week in kindergarten is always fun, so hopefully it will be great!
