Way to go Lady Lions!!! Looking forward to next year already!!!! 
I love Country Home magazine and get so many ideas from their pages.
So, I decided to buy up some cute red fabric and whip up some cute hearts for my Vday decorating. If only that were true. I can't even sew on a button..just ask Memaw Mary Nell who does all my buttons and mending for me. As luck would have it, our Goodwill store had these adorable hearts on a bottom shelf. When I found them I almost squealed! I silently thanked the little old lady who patiently made these cute hearts and dropped them off just for me!
The 25 cent bag was full of these little hearts. Thank you non-bloggers who walked right past this awesome deal and left these cute little handmade hearts just for me.
Another Goodwill find....the 50cent bear covered in tiny white hearts and the BeMine stick from the beloved 10cent table.
I have several of these fluted clear glasses so filled each one with some conversation hearts for my dining room table. 
and hershey kisses the next week...although, I can't even begin to count the number of times I refilled these throughout the week but the kids were definitely more hyper and my jeans were a bit snug after that week. May need to stick to the candles next year!
Love the way the candies melted in the candle
Even though it was Vday, we had lots of snow so I decided to keep the centerpiece from January since it was covered in red berries and just add a few hearts across the table.
Kept it very simple on the mantle with red candles and another snow/berry garland
and some cute pics of the kids in red
I updated the chalkboard several times for Valentines day.....Kendall helped with the hearts. 
Sunday morning of Valentines Day, the kids woke up to these little gifts next to their beds.
and yummy chocolate pretzels for Sunday school snacks
Now, it's time to take down all the red hearts and start praying for sunshine and warm days so I can finish some much awaited project.
He still loves his "big green tractor" and can't wait till the weather warms up so he can go outside to play.
He is a HUGE Daddy's boy. Every single step Josh makes, Jed is right behind him.
He was sooo funny at the wedding. I worried that he wouldn't smile for the photographer so I took him to the side to practice his smile. He was so tired of me saying "show me your teeth!!!" that he started smiling like this. I finally quit taking pics of him for fear he would smile like this for the wedding pictures!! 
When visitors show up at our house unexpectedly, most people would run and throw toys and laundry out of the way. We run and throw clothes on our little naked child.
Jed and Kendall (sissy) play so good together. Josh was gone to work one Saturday and Kendall took advantage of his absence to play pageant with Jed. 
and they ALWAYS play baby. It's not unusual at all to find him on the floor with a passy in his mouth crying for his mommy or in his old highchair waiting on his baby food! lol 
I think he is looking more and more like Josh every day. Especially the way the outside corners of his eyes curve down..but he does have my eyelashes!
And he is into EVERYTHING. We have to watch him like a hawk. It didn't take him but a couple of minutes to sneak into Reagon's room and find her red nail polish! 
"Mommy, look....me and Daddy are big man workers!"
We have definitely passed the terrible twos and made it straight to the wild and crazy threes! 
We decided to drag out some paint and knock out a couple of projects. At 9:00 at night.
I started with Kendall's doll shelf. (Please overlook the quilt over the window. We live in a 1970s house and the windows are single pane and with the snow on the ground, Kendall's room was super cold. Double pane windows someday)
And Reagon started on her light switch. I love watching her work on projects!
I have sooo many of these empty frames from yard sales.
Reagon worked on one frame.....
While I made her a chalkboard with the other one.......
Reagon's finished project..
While putting the second coat of paint on Kendall's dollhouse shelf, I decided to add some "cow spots" to her bed. She loves it! It looks much better when the quilt is off the window. I plan on adding some dark wooden blinds to match the spots.
It was about this time that Josh and Kendall started complaining about the paint fumes in the house. We thought about putting up the paint cans but Reagon was wanting to do one more thing, so we just moved outside. Under the carport. With snow on the ground. Like crazy people.
Remember the project notebook I keep? Reagon was looking through it and found this set of pictures from one of my favorite blogs (just a girl blog) and said that she would love one of these pictures for her room. She said she liked the one on the left the best. 
I went back to my Rubbermaid tote full of frames and found this one my Mom had thrown in the trash pile at her house. My sisters and I worked with our Mom a few weeks ago and decluttered a couple rooms in her house. Actually, they decluttered and I rummaged through everything saying "your throwing this away???? Josh, take this to the car! Why are you getting rid of this? Add this to my pile, etc". Anyway, she was throwing away a broken old home interior picture and I saved it from the garbage pile. Yes, I'm that bad.
I felt weird about spraying over the Lord's Prayer but I did recite it as I sprayed over it. lol
A coat of my favorite apple green... 
and the same leftover brown paint from the dollhouse roof
Reagon picked the colors to match her room from my $3 collection
I think it turned out great. And it was free!!!!
So, we ended the night around 11pm and washed up all our frozen paintbrushes and felt good about completing a few fun projects together! I feel sure in this picture she is updating her facebook status to something like "my Mom has serious issues " or something like that! LOL
