Late Valentines Day, and one other thing

I have to say that I came up with one of my better ideas this Valentine's Day. I was shopping for coloring books at the store and couldn't find any that I thought were cute. So, I bought some markers and decided that I could make one myself. On Valentine's Day morning I printed out a whole bunch of coloring pages from Disney.com and several other websites. Then, I made some cardstock covers, stacked them together and ran the stack through my sewing machine. I covered the seam with some cute tape, put their names on it and then I was done. The whole project took less than 20 min. and the boys got a personalized coloring book with all their favorite stuff. Wahoo. I felt like a hero.


I think I mentioned before that Isaac likes to pin numbers to his shirt when he plays basketball. Today he decided he could write the numbers himself. He is getting so big. (it's a #10)
