I Heart You!

Valentine's Day didn't pas without us doing something.  For us it was making some very easy Valentine's Day hearts.  Each was given to close friends. But by the end my kitchen floor looked like someone threw rose petals all over.  This was because Hondo though that they were and proceed to put them on the floor. 


What you need to make this:

• Clear contact paper cut into 12 inch x 12 inch square
• Pink and Red tissue paper cut into small pieces
• black maker

 Fold contact paper and on one side draw out a heart to fit most of the paper. I scored the contact paper and peeled of the backing on the side i drew the heart.

Then let kids place tissue paper over the heart.

Next I peeled off the other side of the backing of the contact paper and then folded it onto the front.  Then cut out the shape of the heart.

We then wrote a message on the heart.

There you go you have a simple easy Valentine heart.

The Force is Living with Us

Okay I will readily admit that I am a geek when it comes to things like comic books (In both Marvel and DC world.), Star Trek (Yes, I'm a Trekkie.  Something I discovered as of late.  A result that came from growing up with a father who is a Trekkie himself.), Tolkienite, and even more recently Doctor Who fan, among other things.  

But when Dare-Devil Boy wanted a Padawan (a Jedi in training for those that don't know) haircut from Star Wars I wasn't to keen on it.  (Yes, I'm become a Star Wars nerd too.)  Why would you ask?  Well to be frank I though it was crazy and look even stranger.  It would take any months me stating N-O, NO! to this haircut, before I would finally give in.  

My husband took Dare-Devil Boy to get it cut.  And I will admit he doesn't look as bad as I thought. So now he's sporting around a braid (An extention that was put in.  His hair was never that long.) and a tiny ponytail.  So as for now I have a Padawan in training walking around the house and a few more Star Wars battles taking place to save the us from the Empire.
