Getting ready for Baby

We have been getting ready to welcome our little baby girl. I fixed up a corner in our room for her. It was fun finding some things at the dollar store to brighten it up. I also made a new cover for the changing table, and little blanket for the bed.

 

I found this wonderful printable on Pinterest and painted a frame and mat we had, turned out cute!

 

The girls are excited, they love her little corner. They felt a little bit left out that they didn't get new decorations and things, so I told them about how before they were born I made and bought things for them. Then we got out the scrapbooks and looked at their baby pictures, they loved it!
I also made this little paper chain last week to 'count down' the days before my due date. We each predicted when she will be born. On each strip is a little activity for us to do together. IT's been so fun! We read books about sisters, watched a princess movie, played babies, played "American Dolls" (ours aren't the real thing, but we call them that), played legos, read valentine books. Just simple things but fun to do ;)

Megan has to hold the hair out of her eyes.

 

And Megan wanted matching hair dos. Girls are so much fun ;)! David has been busy playing hot wheels and monster trucks with Daddy, but also loved playing babies and legos with us.

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Kids have the most fun!

Kids sure can have fun playing, imagining, pretending, making... (messes)!
Megan is all into having her picture taken lately. I scored this cute little skirt on clearance at Walmart for $2! (thats my fun ;))

 

The girls had so much fun decorating the toy rocking horse and taking pictures of it.

 

Megan set up a Valentine Tea party for David and I, complete with bagels, pretzels, invitations, and sign. :) She is so much fun, It's nice to have her home still in the mornings!

 

What a cute little guy.

 

and a sweet little girl!

 

They have lots of fun together ;)

 

Valentine Fun

We have been having fun getting ready for Valentine's day at our house. At the end of January the girls made little mailboxes and every day since then they get a little Valentine. They have really gotten into it, and race home off the bus to check what surprise is waiting. They have also enjoyed making little valentines and leaving them for each other. I have had fun passing the time with little projects too. I made this cute decoration out of paper plates glued to ribbon ;)

 

Yesterday Anna and Megan had fun making little Valentine robots out of conversation heart boxes and random candy.

 

I had also had fun finding some cute Valentine decorations for my little shelves. We don't have a lot of good places to decorate, but I carve out a little bit... it makes it fun for the kids and me.

 

We also made our homemade picture valentines to give away at school. They turned out pretty cute!

 

And one last little valentine from the whole family:
