They thought the bookmarks made out of their pictures were funny. :0)
Today after school, they will get a balloon & a chocolate heart:

And cherry cheesecake!

Valentine Parties

The kids already had their Valentine Parties yesterday, since Valentine's Day falls after Ash Wednesday. These are the valentine's the kids brought to school to hand out:



They were so excited to give out valentines, and to receive them!

I went to Lily's class for her party. They had lots of yummy treats & then got to look through their valentines!



Now they are excited about their final day of valentines tomorrow! =0)

14 Days of Valentine's! (More)

The kids have been loving their 14 days of Valentines! They can't wait to see what is waiting for them each day. It is so fun to watch them! =)
These are the cute valentines we have had so far this week:

Only 7 days left!

14 Days of Valentines!

I saw the 14 Days of Valentines on Pinterest, so I thought that would be a fun thing to do. Each day the kids get a cute valentine to surprise them. Some of the things I saw on different sites on Pinterest & others I thought of on my own. (The first one was courtesy of my sister Dianna.)
On Friday, they got their first one:

It is a deflated Mylar balloon inside a bag. You have to pop it with your hand...

and it will slowly fill with air, pop out of the bag, and turn into a filled balloon:

 These were SO fun! (You can get them at Dollar Tree. They come 4 in a pack!) The balloons literally popped out of the bag and into the air. The kids really liked this surprise. They also liked it when they learned that they were getting 13 more days of fun Valentines!

On Saturday, the kids woke up to these: 

Giant glow sticks in their favorite colors! These were also a hit. (and also from Dollar Tree...gotta love that place!) The kids can't wait to see what it next!
