Valentine Project


Our project this week for Valentine's Day was making heart pillows. Each kiddo picked out what color they wanted the pillow to be, decorated it, stuffed it and finished putting it together. They had lots of fun and are very proud of their creations.
This afternoon we met some friends at the skating rink for a learn to skate session. They only allowed children on the rink who were not "practiced" skaters. It was nice...we didn't have to dodge any teenagers going crazy fast and because there were only kids out, the parents could wear real shoes and actually help. Landon did well in his preschool skates and zoomed around with his buddy, without much help from Momma. Claire, on the other hand, wanted to wear inline skates like her friends. Then we switched to quads, and eventually, she ended up with preschool skates too. She did very well, although I think most of her body will be purple and blue tomorrow. The last 15 minutes she put the real quad skates back on and attempted to go on her own. She'd make it a little ways before falling, but she was a trooper and would get right back up and keep going. I'm so bummed I forgot my camera, although I'm not sure how many pictures I could have taken!
