Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today we celebrate our Irish Heritage.  In our house we each have a little Irish in us.  No matter what though, it is fun to celebrate days with themes.

We started our morning off with green "shamrock" pancakes.

The green pancake batter.

The finished product.  I know it doesn't look the greatest, but the girls LOVED it! 

Now onto pictures of the kiddos...

 Sisterly love...

 Katelyn wanted her hair like Julianne's, so we re-did it and took some more pictures.

 Once William was up and dressed we did a few pictures with him.  I am hoping that I can get some more of the 3 of them after school today.  If not, I really do like this one.

 My handsome little man, William.  I am trying to get some more pictures of him, but he just doesn't stand still very long!

Here's a close-up of the girls "flowers" they have in their hair.  A friend shared a website with me and I tweaked the project to go with the girls' shirts.

Again, Happy St. Patrick's Day from our family to yours!

Valentine's Day Shirts

I have been on a mission to create shirts for my kiddos for special days.  I have already done 2 shirts for each of the kiddos for the winter and am now working on Valentine's Day shirts.  I got these 2 done and sent with my parents to take to my nephews Mason and Murphy in Baton Rouge.

This weekend I will be working on shirts for my kiddos.  William is also getting a shirt with a tie on it, while the girls are going to have shirts that say LOVE.  The "O" will be a heart in the material matching the ties.  I am not sure which color the other 3 letters will be.  The girl's shirts are a work in progress, but will be done for them to wear on Monday.

Here are the shirts for my nephews:

I have SO much fun doing these shirt iron-ons, that I can't wait to keep experimenting and trying new things.  Soon, I hope to have a little "store" on Facebook and an Etsy shop.  Look for more information coming soon from Cute Like Me Designs!

Valentine's Day Cards

Disclosure: I borrowed this idea from a friend (thanks Jeannie).

I love doing crafts with the girls.  Sometimes they enjoy them and sometimes they do not.  This year, I asked them if they would like to make their own Valentine's Day cards and they were excited.  When we were at Hobby Lobby, we found some Valentine's Day stamps and got a red and pink stamp pad.  I used pink, red, white, and purple paper I had to make little note cards.  I got 4 cards per piece of card stock for the little cards and 2 cards per piece for the cards for the teachers.

The girls were very eager to get started.

Stamping away...

They both had fun and got all their class Valentine's done!

Katelyn's Valentines

Julianne's Valentines

It took longer than I thought, which was good.  I needed them occupied with something that they weren't going to start fighting about.
