Valentines

We had a wonderful Valentines Day, but I am sure glad it's over! I'm really glad this whole month is about over, though it does only bring on a busy March. I'm just relieved to be done with party preparations, for now :)

Some pictures from our day!

 Typical of late, trying to make the boys holiday lunches. This is Aaron's : heart shaped watermelon and strawberries, purple/pink carrot, milk, a note and meat slices on a heart stick.

I was happily surprised when a good friend dropped this by for me early that morning!

Not the best picture, but I wanted to show that I taped hearts to the boys' chairs :)

I also found some flowers from our bushes and a heart shaped cookie made by my hubby. Yum!

Nate's lunch/snack : message on a banana, also got heart berries/watermelon, heart PBJ, berry yogurt, milk and a note (and yes, this is a new lunchbox! I love that each compartment is labeled as to what to put in there, Nate has started to help me pack lunches)

Got the kids each a chocolate covered marshmallow

Class party time! Cookie decorating station. I planned/hosted and brought a lot of the items for their party. Kids had a good time!

Nate's school had a picnic that day, too!

With their love bug hats

Again Nate was thrilled to come home and open all of his Valentines, including Candy Grams - where we or any friends at school could send each other little notes with lollipops. I remember doing that as a kid in elementary school, too. He thought it was neat to have received a few of those.

My parents then came over that evening to watch the kids so that hubs and I could enjoy an evening out. Great way to end the day!
