Fantabulous February

February came and went in a flash for us. Here are the highlights of the month for us. The first one being Valentines day. I reached deep down into my inner Martha Stewart and made some homemade crayons to give out at Little Man's preschool party. They were a hit and super easy to make. The kids had made them before with various old crayons lying around the house but peeling paper off old crayons is NOT fun. So we bought a new box and paper peeling was a breeze. The kids enjoyed breaking the crayons and putting them in our heart molds. The swirls of color were really cool.

We made a total of 30 and Little Man signed his name on EVERY valentine. He did a great job. We put them in clear bags and printed out some Pokemon on white paper with a V-day greeting so his friends get the hint to color with the heart and not eat it...it resembled candy and I hope no one took a bite of it.

Little Man enjoyed his little assembly line of hearts and baggies. He did a lot of work that night. After the crayons we made chocolate kiss pretzels too. It was a busy night for our oven. Little Miss wasn't too interested in helping out since she got to color with her new swirly heart crayons.

I think Valentines Day was the main highlight of the month. We did encounter a milestone that jumped out at us in February, Little Miss asking for a Potty Seat! But that deserves it's very own post. We are still nowhere near being potty trained and are still buying diapers :( That should say a lot on how potty training is going...or not going.
