After seeing my mom and sister's blog books, I have been wanting to blog even more, it's such a great memory to have. What's been stopping me is exhaustion, but also the task of catching myself up on 2011, it's only April so there is not too much time to catch up, I just have to do it. So hopefully over the next few posts I will completely catch myself up!
February 2011
Valentines month has come and go, and it wasn't an overly eventful Valentines day for the Bing's, I worked an over night the day before and Brandon had worked all weekend, so we were pretty exhausted. We used the first day of school break and Valentines day to catch up on sleep and just relax. I believe our romantic dinner was some yummy McDonald's, which actually hit the spot! Brandon gave me a sweet card which is always the only requirement of a special day and we did have our time at White Point which was fantastic.
There were some other highlights of the Valentine's holiday this year. At the beginning of the month Julia came over and had a little lesson on card making as we made some Valentines for some friends of hers. She brought some YUMMY peanut butter cookies, and we just chatted and created. I don't think Julia and I have ever hung out one on one, so this was a really nice night to just catch up and chat about life. Thanks Julia for reaching out for some crafty fun!
Finley and Emmy with help from their mommy sent some love our way on Valentines Day with some cute festive pictures. I love our little babies sleeping next to the work LOVE, because we sure do love these little girls! But I also love them awake showing off their baby blues... don't these girls look beautiful in pink.
I also had some fun sending some love out this Valentines Day... I always like to do something for Kathy's kids when I have the chance, they are special little munchkins and I love them to bits. So as I made treats to take to school, I also made them these cute little Valentines... I think they enjoyed the surprise! I also ended up teaching on the last school day before Valentine's Day which was so exciting for me, so I brought them Valentines with candies and pink cupcakes which were a huge success. I felt a little bad, the student teacher had brought these healthy muffins for the kids, which I am sure were delicious, but they just didn't compare to my cupcakes. It's a special day you have to bring a special treat! After making cards with Julia, I was inspired to make my own owl themed Valentines for family and a few friends. I had to make quite a few of them, but I was pretty excited with how they turned out!
Brandon and I received some Valentines, and were so appreciative of everyone thinking about us. Brandon's parents always give us something special on holidays. For this day of love we got a FUN talking card and some yummy chocolates... delicious! I carried my owl theme onto Brandon's Valentines card which I was pleased with, I liked introducing the grey into the Valentines color scheme. I also gave him a cute board book that a friend at Chapters recommended to me, it's called "Love is You and Me" and it's adorable and I totally recommend to give to anyone you love!
The last Valentines memory to share are the special Valentines we got in the mail from my little sister. It was super exciting to get mail, and then when I read the Valentines it brought a smile to my face and lots of laughter. I want you all to look closely at this Valentine. It's Buzz Lightyear, and remember he's a space ranger... now scroll down and see what she wrote on it...
Isn't she just a sweet sister, no subtle hints here, she wants a new niece or nephew... well in this case she thinks a nephew. I do enjoy though that she was not suggesting that I'm already expecting, but that she is waiting for that to happen, because the baby is still out of this world... what a sister I have. hahha gotta love her craziness... and hopefully she'll get that new baby soon... but I am saying right here... I AM NOT PREGNANT... so don't see this and think oh goody. I wish I were but there is nothing yet to tell!
