My valentines

We are definitely not big celebrators of Valentines Day. We actually only celebrate it for the kids.

Friday we were so exhausted we spent the entire evening on the couch. Finally about 9 o'clock I said okay lets open presents.

I usually just give the kids a pair of pjs for Vday, and some chocolate. This year I found a good deal on a few things, so they were kind of spoiled.

Olivia took everything out of the bag and just threw it on the ground. She only cared about the chocolate.

We signed Carson up for another season of baseball, so part of his gift was some new cleats. I found a pair at academy for $9.98. I was so excited, because I was expecting to spend about $20. I found him a little finger dirt bike at my favorite store, the $1 tree, some candy, a dirt bike shirt, and some legos.

Olivia got some new sandals, and a couple of outfits from Target I got on clearance. After they finished opening their gifts, we had a really fancy Whataburger dinner, then we had our Friday night slumber party in our room.

In my opinion this was the perfect Valentines Day.

 



Valentines pizza party

Friday Carson had a pizza party in his classroom.

His class saved $78 in their save jar, so Mrs. Scherer wanted to spend it on a pizza party to reward them for their hard work.

I offered to bring a fruit tray to eat with their pizza, and another mom brought a veggie tray.

Since it was valentines day I brought these cupcake wrappers to put their fruit in it to jazz up their plate a little bit. I thought it turned out cute.

 After we ate Mrs. Scherer opened her gifts while us moms picked up lunch.

Then Olivia helped teach the class. We may have a little teacher in the making.

After recess the kids came back in and had a Valentines day party.

The room mom brought some fun activities for the kids. They played candy corn bingo first.

Olivia just ate the candy corns.

Next they made bracelets. They had all sorts of beads, so they could make whatever kind of bracelet their little hearts desired.

I think their favorite craft was decorating cupcakes.

We had spending the day at school with Carson. I know he enjoyed having us there, too!
