Home Decor

We've been in this house now for 13 months now and therefor have gone through all of the holidays that you could possibly go through but for one reason or another (with the exception of Christmas) we haven't really put much up in the way of decorations but now were changing that...and we're starting today with some window and wall clings. I love seeing how much a little sticker can brighten my little girls day.

It's going to be fun to see our little collection of decor grow year by year :)

Tomorrow we decorate Valentine's cake for Daddy...

Spaghetti Dinner

I just can't seem to find the right words to get my point across tonight.  Sorry it's just not happening.  Over the past week I've seen/heard about so many terrible things happening to kids it's just not fair.  

We have been incredibly lucky with our girlies, and I can only pray that we continue to be as fortunate as we have been.  I feel that since we have been so fortunate it's our responsibility to pay it forward to help out people when and where we can.

Fast forward to tonight and we brought the girls out to Greenville HS to a Spaghetti dinner being put on by the Greenville Fire Department to benefit the family of a local 10 year old girl battling brain cancer.  Dinner was absolutely delicious and we walked around a little bit , there was a fantastic bake sale and a load of baskets being auctioned off.  

There were a good number of people there, and more coming in as we left.  And a good number of the baskets/items being auctioned off were donated from local companies (and some not so local companies)  It truly warms my heart to see how generous people can be when they are coming together for a common cause.  

With all the nonsense that's going on in the world it's still awesome to see proof that nice people still exist.

  I hope we can pass on a willingness to help others to our girls, leading by example :) 

 

So 24 hours in and I'm still loving this thing. And it appears that C is too :)

Today I went ahead and actually bought some apps...something I avoided like the plague with my iPod. But it seems to be worth it. C is loving her Dora game that reads to her and the Color Drop app that let's her draw to her hearts content :)

I'm loving how big everything is especially compared to the iPod and my (droid) phone and the ease of use. Almost too easy. I don't have a particular favorite app yet...I'm reserving judgment until the the Star Watch becomes available (for some reason it's not downloading right at the moment) so we'll see...

Till tomorrow, here are some pics...

Sorry, not much time to post tonight, hubby got me an iPad for Valentine's Day and I'm figuring out how to use it :). Loving it so far!

Making Valentines

Today the Girls and I made Valentines :)

We went out side and took pictures

Then we came inside and broke out a kit I had bought at Target, sorted through the mishmash of letters desperately searching for non existent letter "V"s 

Stuck the Stickers on (I helped with the spelling...)

And came up with some pretty great looking valentines :) which will be sent out with the pictures :) 

Fun Times in the V household today :)
