April VT Message

Just a quick April VT message. I bought the 4x6 magnetic frame @ walmart ($2.00) and give my ladies the new message every month. I print it out on 4x6 photo and they can keep it on their fridge or on a mirror...snag it if you want it...

16 reasons YOU, Thomas, make me smile:

1. You are my first child
2. You taught teach me patience
3. Your good grades
4. Your willingness to let your brother/cousins/neighbors beat you like a pinata
5. Your love for sports (no I don’t want to know about the last cliff you snowboarded off of..)
6. Your curly hair
7. You are my parenting guinea pig
8. You are dependable
9. You laugh at the same things I do :)
10. You want to succeed in life
11. You choose to be a good kid
12. You accept regifted presents with gusto..
13. You always underestimate me (which means I always come out looking good)
14. You never divulge secrets (like who you “like”)
15. Your friends adore you
16. I LOVE YOU

It’s never easy to see a child grow up.   I don’t know which is worse: turning 40 or having your first born turn 16. It’s a toss up.  And why do I feel like 16 was just 2 or 3 years ago for me?  I remember sitting by the pool with my friends, going to dances (who doesn’t hear VH’s “Jump” or Wham’s “Last Christmas” and not smile?), being chased by Guardia Civil for toilet papering, and just being a teen…Growing up gets harder each year that goes by  and looking back get sadder because only as you get older do you truly begin to cherish what it means to be a teen.

OHH..What do I do in the Wintertime?

can you say “ready for spring”?

 

St. Patrick’s Day Project

I am terrible at decorating for holidays.  I try…but then I feel like the decorations always end up looking sad and lonely.  Probably since there are not many of them and decorations like to congregate in groups.  Mine tend to be loners.    So here I go again.

I saw this project on another website www.tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com and thought that I would put my own spin on the project.  I bought my frame @ walmart for $3.00 and took it home and sprayed away.

Then I made my own little 8x10 to put in the frame and printed it out on my computer.

I got out my ribbon and my nail gun..stapled the ribbon to the frame, tied a few knots and wha..laaa..my St. Patricks door thingy (technical term for that which hangs from a door). 

Cute!
