Love is in the Air!

I just love February! Hearts, candy, flowers, cute crafts, and don't forget about Presidents Day ;-) ! What's not to love? I have some cute Valentines Day decorations that I have up at home right now, they just make me happy.

I got this in the dollar section at Target! It says "XOXO, KISS, HUGS, and LOVE"

Gotta love the holiday kitchen towels ;-) These are the first decorations I put up for each holiday! Some people feel that Valentines Day is a holiday that is pushed upon us as a society in order to make us buy the cards, candy, flowers and decorations. Personally I feel that it's important to have a day to recognize the ones you love. Not that you shouldn't do that every day regardless of a "holiday" ;-) In my class today we made some very cute Valentines Day crafts! We made "heart people" out of hearts, they're just precious!

I think it's too cute when my sweet little boys draw hearts for eyes! One of them was cracking up today as he drew, and when I asked him what was so funny he held his heart up for me to see. It had a heart eyes, nose, and hearts all over the mouth. Apparently hearts are hilarious now-a-days!

Here's my heart! I'm not much of an artist, but it was fun to do a craft with my kids today! After having a highly stressful day yesterday it was nice to have a relaxed day with my class today. Due to the yucky weather that the south is getting hit with a lot of little ones were out today. The roads were slick and icy this morning and some parents chose not to send their kids to school. So today was a great day to review what we've been learning so far this week!

I am going to take a few minutes to brag on the wonderful...the talented...the sweet and caring, Future Hubster :-) He is always amazing, but some days he simply outdoes himself. Today, due to the yucky weather, he didn't have work. So what does he do? Sit around all day and watch TV? NOPE. Play computer games? NOPE. Catch up on sleep? NOPE. This amazing man worked all day to bake chocolate truffles AND cook dinner for me! Talk about a CATCH! Since the weather was bad today he took me to school this morning, and when he came to pick me up he brought truffles for all of the first grade teachers! He even let me drag him from room to room and introduce him to everyone :-) For dinner he made the most amazing taco soup! I am so impressed and I couldn't ask for a better person to spend my life with.

HOMEMADE TRUFFLES. It does not get better than this. God truly does have someone in mind for everyone ;-)

Best. Soup. Ever.

All in all, today was a great day and I am feeling much better about the rest of the week than I was at this time yesterday. Granted, there's a high possibility that the chocolate helped me feel better ;-) Future Hubster knows just what I need in the middle of a hard week. I will leave you with this calming verse tonight...

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:6-7
