SNOW Worried

I was "SNOW" worried that I wouldn't be able to get my kids personalized Valentine cards done this year because I have been so busy.

But it came to me last night, as I laid in bed plotting ways to spend all of my Sugar's money... He is convinced I do this.

These will just have to do.

Attach to a tiny bag of marshmallows.

Way cuter than the boring store bought ones, and not even that much more money.

Plus, my babes won't be little for too much longer. I have to splurge while they still let me!

M is for Mom Guilt

Mom guilt is real. 

We've been snuggling, looking through our old Chatbooks from when Afton and Jack were both little like this babe right here.

Fortunately, she's never said anything to me about all the fun activities she sees in pictures that her siblings got to do. But, I freaking think it. I'm the worst. This poor babe has missed out on so much because I've been carting her around to school drop-off, pick-up, Costco, errands, the gym, etc.

So to help with my mom guilt, but more just to have some fun time with my little babe, we focused on letter M... which was homework from her preschool teacher. 

We made Mmmmmmmoon Sand.

We Mmmmmmeasured it.

We Mmmmmmushed it. 

We Mmmmmmixed it. 

We Mmmmmmmmolded it. 

We Mmmmmmmmmade Mmmmmmesses.

(Notice the outfit change - mess indeed) 

We watched a show about the Mmmmmmmmoooon.

But most of all, 

we Mmmmmmmmmade Mmmmmmemories. 

Fun time with my cute little babe. 

Mmmmmman, I'm lucky to be her Mmmmom.

Ninjas

Last night I couldn't sleep.

Imagine that.

I was thinking of somewhere to take my mom that she hasn't visited before and that my babes would enjoy. (If the smoke subsided, of course.)

I thought about this garden that we passed by all the time but have never ventured into. And then I thought about how cute my babes are in their long underwear, that we wore while camping last week.

They always pretend to be ninjas wherever they wear them.

And then my idea came to me.

Ninjas in a Japanese Bonsai Garden

So... here is our ninja photo shoot. (Thankfully the smoke went away due to the overcast of almost rain clouds.)

This photo shoot could also be attempt to get Jack to write a story with these pictures once I print them. My Jack boy is quite creative, but I have to be creative myself in getting him to practice writing.

Hence, a crazy ninja photo shoot just for fun.

I imagine his story will go something like this...

"A long time ago there was a battle between 2 very different ninjas. They were once close, as you see, they were born from the very same mother. But as time passed, they began to fight for their mother's love, causing them to drift apart..."
