Be My Valentine

Every year I try to come up with some cheap and crafty way to do Valentines Day. While I don't buy into the whole overpriced dinner it is always fun to make things cute for the kids. Last year I added heart shaped sprinkles to there cheerios. This year I am making Chocolate Dipped Fortune Cookies. Yummy!

Step #1- Get your supplies

Bag of fortune cookies from Cash n Carry ($3.64)

Bag of Chocolate Chips $1.64 at Walgreens (no longer there)

1-2 Tablespoons of Shortening (do not use butter)

Sprinkles $4/5 at Albertsons (current)

Wax paper (already had)

Step #2- Melt Chocolate, Dip & Sprinkle

(watch out for Mr. Grabby hands)

Step #3- Look at your pretty Valentines! You will certainly impress your little ones :)

And if you want extra credit you can remove the fortune and replace it with a cute little note. I am going to write Happy Valentines Day from Reese in Red

Now to some this may be expensive thing to do, but I am catering the food for our Mystery Shopper tour coming this week so I will get full use of these puppies! We have a few spots left so if you want to come let me know. Saturday February 13th from 8:30am-5pm. I have no idea where we are going all I know that it is fun and covers all areas of shopping!!

Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"
