Valentine's Day!

Happy belated Valentine's Day!  We had a great weekend.  It started off with Ella's Valentine's Party at school on Friday afternoon.  I was one of the volunteers so I wasn't able to catch any pictures of her party, but I know the kids had a blast!  She was pumped to bring home her bag o' Valentines! :)

This year's Valentine from Ella was....

 I used the printable found here.  It was originally created for a Rainbow Loom bracelet, 

but we found these adorable little heart stretchy figures and it worked great!

For her teacher and the teacher's assistant, we went with a cute idea

So cute! Ella was excited to share these Valentines

Saturday morning (the big day)....opening her Valentine gift from us...

 (She was able to sound out all the words in the card - hurray!)

And, Ella made me this sweet valentine at school  :)

 "Dear Mom, hope you are having a great time at work. Love, Ella"  HA!

I made my first batch of Cake Pops!  Whoot whoot!  

They turned out really cute and taste amazing (really, they do!)

Ta da!  YUM!

100 Days of School 2015!

Today is the 100th day of school for Ms. Ella!

Seriously she is growing up so much!

We snapped this picture this morning in honor the BIG day!

And we snapped this picture after work because she made this SWEET hat!

 

Super Bowl weekending...

Happy February!  We had a good time this past weekend and spent time watching the Super Bowl and having yummy snacks!

Last week at school Ella presented her nursery rhyme - Humpty Dumpty.  :)  I grabbed a video at home to share. 

She has been keeping busy with dance again this year.  Although, I am a bit concerned about the lack of progress on recital routines.  I'm hoping this week we'll see a big improvement, otherwise, I might have to start asking what the deal is!  We spend a lot of time and money for dance and (even though she's only 5) I want their routines at recital to reflect it!

She is getting excited for the Valentine's Party at school next Friday.  She is growing up so much!  She is reading books like crazy (CRAZY!) and seems to be doing well in Kindergarten. The days are going so fast!!
