I Heart Valentine's Day

Happy Late Valentine's Day!!! Even though my husband has to work ALL the days around Valentine's day, I still think its a fun day. I love waking up and telling the boys Happy Valentine's Day and that I love them. And I love how they give me a pile of Lightening McQueen and Spiderman valentine's and write big hearts on everything in sight. Well, except when its the wall or their bed or the side of their brothers face... Anyway, so here are some valentine cupcakes we made. Please note that they are supposed to be frosted with big hearts. :)

The boys had to make valentine's boxes for school so here's a picture of Christian's.

Anthony even got valentine gifts!

More Sewing!

At Christmas, when I got the material for the bibs we made, I got the bright idea that I could make diapers or diaper covers. Well I could only find one diaper cover pattern at the fabric store and it is really designed for making a ruffly cover to go under a little girls dress - but I could still make it! I'll just skip the ruffles! :) Here is a picture of the pattern laid out. Believe it or not, I had to have my husband help me figure out how they wanted it laid out on the fabric.

Please note that I even made tailor tacks (right Mom?)!! Impressive, I know! Then I had to call my sister because I didn't even know what some of the instructions meant. She did a great job of directing me over the phone!

Cute boys!! I think he likes the cover better than the plastic covers. I think it breaths more anyway and it did a great job keeping him dry. You couldn't even feel that the diaper was wet. I think I have fabric to make another one so we'll see if I can do it again. :)
