Groundhog's day, Birthday and Valentines--OH MY!!!

Wow! February is flying by and well it has been so much fun!!! February is one my favorite months of the year. I love pink, red, and purple all of which are included in the Valentine's decor.

Groundhog's day was a blast with my kiddos. We did a prediction on if we thought Phil would see his shadow. We were sad to know that he did see his shadow and we would have to endure 6 more weeks of winter.
 I got this from Pinterest. Sorry I can't remember which website to give credit.
 We made these super cute Groundhog crafts that I got from my mom.

If you are in need of a Valentine's day craftivity, then go check out First Grade Blue Skies she has tons of cute ideas that can work for K or 1st grade. I love that she is so practical and it helps that she is an Alabama blogger too!!!! I bought this on TPT. I used almost the entire unit.

Her entire unit is based on this Froggy book. My kiddos love Froggy books. I have read several throughout the year. This one my kids giggled throughout the entire book. Kissing just makes 5 year olds snicker. Hehe!!!!


 Here is how our Froggy and Froggilina's turned out. I thought they were super cute. I had everything pre cut for my little ones and I modeled step by step on how to assemble it. 
This makes my heart smile. I do love my K kiddos. 

 We made these super cute bags for our Valentine treats to go in. They turned out so cute. The large heart in the center is a foam heart that came in a pack of 20 from The Dollar Tree. Super cheap and already cut out!!!
My bestie brought me this super cute heart donut. She is killing my diet, but it sure was good. I do love sweets.

My birthday also happens to fall in the month of February. I forgot to mention that might be another reason I love this month so much! :) My parents have always made a big deal over birthdays. We celebrate for an entire week. We made some pictures, of course, with my parents and the dogs. 
 This dog has my entire heart! She is a complete diva and loves her mommy!!!
 These people make me so happy! Love them all dearly!!!!!

My bestie bought me this print from Hobby Lobby that I had been spying for months but wouldn't buy for myself. I had posted in an earlier post that I now have my dream job and I was going to purchase this print for my classroom. She read my post and came in on my birthday with this. I could have cried. I love her dearly and thank God she was placed across the hall from me. She makes me laugh everyday. Who doesn't need friends like that? 

I am finished with my Bird Decor that I have been working on for months. It turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Check it out here.



I hope you have a warm weekend! It is icy here in Alabama!
Blessings,
