valentine's day

hope everyone had a great valentine's day! apparently, it's only recently that people started to celebrate valentine's day here - in fact, i got no notice from mak's school to prepare treats for her class. but being that it's one of her favorite holiday, we couldn't just let it pass. so here is what we made. it's chupa chups attached to a big mustache for boys and big red lips for girls. credit due here.

ethan modeling the mustache. he knew that we were preparing them so as soon as he woke up, he goes "happy valentine's day! where's my wowwipop?" thus lollipop in his pj's and blurry picture.

btw, i KNEW i had to put a disclaimer for the stockings picture in the last post!!! thank you all for commenting on how good my legs looked. i'll make sure never to expose them again in fear of incurring your envy and jealousy. anyhow, poor jin, ms. poor circulation, i will try to find a pair for you, my friend, though the winter is almost over. . . .

also, i wanted to include a shoutout to GOOGLE READER for things i'm loving these days. you guys all need to sign up! you can basically get updates from every website you visit on a regular basis. it made my life so much easier now that i don't have to track all my craft blogs by visiting each sites - but it doesn't work for blogs that are locked or private. enjoy!

what a great idea! please don't raise the level at your school since they normally don't do anything. it has been nice at j's school, the level has definitely dropped on v-day so i feel like the little i do is a lot!!!

Jer, remember how you had once considered adopting a child--maybe you still are? Can you please adopt me??? You are such a creative mom, I'd have lots of fun with you! (Come to think of it... you don't like nature, ok, nevermind.)

what a great idea!! maybe i'll start doing the mustache and lip lollipop next year (but do you think kids in 3rd and 4th grade will like that? that's such an interesting age where they are bursting out to be teenagers...), hmmm, i'll have to think about that.
seriously, i knew you were good with crafts but eversince you went to poland you've been exploring all sorts of things. i wish i had that motivation to do something also.
