Happy early Heart Day!


So browsing around online, I saw this cute idea for making your kids' Valentines! I thought to my little self... I could do that! And I need the practice!

So I tried my darndest. I did.

But I had to take them downstairs so I could hang the fabric backdrop and there are lots of flourescent lights. Maybe I should say ONLY flourescent lights.


Functional: yes. Flattering: no.
So I played the photoshop game with these:


Grandmas and Grandpas, look forward to Krew's cuteness, because he has no classmates. This was one of the two shots he let me take before he was off and running again!


And then Lauren spilled red soda pop all over the pink toile backdrop...


And I asked Jocelyn if we could take pictures without her glasses so we could see her sweet little eyes. We got lots of squinty, cross eyed pictures! Good times.


And Gage is getting too cool...

I took really adorable ones of his with a pinstripe fedora, but he said they made him too embarrassed to give his friends. I'm still going to edit them for me, though. Cuz they were kinda adorable.


When they saw the finished product, they seemed pretty excited! We'll put these together with a little treat and the whole project will be done!

(FYI: I did 9 cent prints from Walmart, and this will cost about the same as store cards. Handy dandy!)


One more thing checked off the list. Now onto laundry, deep cleaning, labor, whichever comes first...

SO ADORABLE! I can't believe you have any energy at all. I'm sure that required bending over which is miserable at 9 months. Such a cute idea, wish I had the time or the energy to do that. I love it!
