Ahoy Matey---the shirts are ready for Daddy-Daughter Day!

Someday, I really am going to learn how to sew. Until then, Heat and Bond to the rescue!!! Tomorrow is Daddy-Daughter day at "Bugs" preschool and since its a Pirate Theme, I decided to make them matching shirts!



Cute, huh? I just did the Heat and Bond thing, with different pieces of fabric, cut out the shapes and ironed it on.

I cannot wait to hear all about their special day together!!

"The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows."

Bug starts preschool in a week in a half (yes, that makes my lip quiver and my eyes well up with tears) Since this is my first go-around I have lots of questions. I'm confident that most of them will be answered during, meet the director night and meet the teacher day.(right? insert nervous smile)

Ok, so I'll admit. I've been laying in bed at night wondering, what to pack for lunch??? My sweet girl is very independent, but she still needs help opening a fruit snack. I am THRILLED to have found Wendolonia's Lunch Box Ideas post! Not only did she present LOTS of options, but she even has cute packing ideas AND she opens the packages for her little man and pours them into silicone cupcake wrappers. LOVE IT!!!

I found this info helpful too!
Another FABULOUS lunch packing blog!!!

We have already started, as "Bug" calls it, "practicing preschool" I try not to giggle when she holds up her hand and waits for me to say her name, before she asks a question. (she is so stinkin cute and she is still my baby...I may need therapy before this is all over) We are going to practice eating out of her new lunch box, starting Monday.
Speaking of Lunch Boxes....my precious lil bow wearing, dress up playing, princess, chose a Scooby Doo lunchbox. REALLY??? She passed over the princesses, Hello Kitty and even a cute monkey box, for Scooby Doo. (She and her daddy watch it together and she was THRILLED when she saw that lil van shaped box. Insert her car screeching sounds here....giggle. :)

I still can't grasp the concept of dropping my BABY off and letting her go inside that big church building, ALL BY HERSELF!!! And, she's only going 2 days a week....kindergarten may just be the death of me. ;)

So Many Projects.... So Little Time!

I've been meaning to share my friend Heather's super cute calendar and child's art display ideas. Heather works crazy hours as a restaurant manager. To make sure her hubby and precious little boys always know what's going on, she made this adorable chalk board calendar with a board and some chalkboard paint.I think the tall board looks so cute and no one at her house will ever miss an appointment. ;)
On the other side of her cabinet, she cut another board the same length and covered in in cork board. Doesn't all of B Man and Baby H's artwork look so cute!

I bought this ADORABLE Princess Carriage at Home Goods and cannot wait to turn it into lamp for "Bugs" bedroom.

I am so ready for spring and the warmer weather so I can get out in the garage and get to work.
Hugs,
