"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

Pre-Valentine Fun

We didn't do a lot for Valentine's Day, but the day before we took a little time to make a couple fun things.  Kyler had a Valentine's Day party at preschool, so he had to make valentines for that.  They had challenged the kids to write their own names on their valentines, so they could practice writing their names.  With 16 kids in his class, I thought this would be a bit overwhelming for Kyler to write his name 16 times :), so I wrote it in yellow, and he traced it instead!  Kyler of course chose Cars Movie Valentines for his friends at preschool. :) While Kyler did his valentines, Norah needed a project to do.  I had found a couple of cute valentine crafts in the dollar bins at Target, so I pulled one out for her to work on.  I wish we had taken time to do the other, but with Norah's birthday, we just ran out of time. :) We'll just save it for next year! ;)  Norah worked on coloring a Valentine's Day garland.  I think this might be an ongoing project for her, as she only worked on coloring about two hearts and then wanted something else to do. :)  Here are a couple pictures from our Valentine's Day fun!

Working on tracing his name :)  And yes, that is Norah's pink twins had he is wearing :)

Miss Norah coloring her hearts!

Still coloring :)

Carefully tracing his name

This isn't really Valentine's related, but was taken the same day and thought it was cute ;)
