Happy Valentines Day!!

I Love Holidays and all the decorating and fun things to do with the kids. I think kids make eVeRyThInG more exciting :) We had lots of fun this heart season doing crafty things at home and the kids at school! Tennessee wrote so many Valentines for school, friends, family...he was a busy boy! I had to capture the ones he wrote to the Grandparents. He sounded out the names and wrote them all by himself, so cute! I like his writing and how he tries sooo hard!














Here is the Valentine pouch he made at school. The pictures all over it are Bakugans! That is his latest craze. He is all about the Bakugans. He is currently earning money by doing chores so he can buy some. Everyday he begs me for jobs around the house he can do to earn a quarter or a dime AND he is doing such a great job! I'm really liking this!


















And here he is showing off his Valentine loot!



















Addie celebrated Valentines late with her preschool class due to sick kids so today was the day! She picked out some cute mermaid cards and thought about writing her name. She only is interested in writing "A's" and attempting the rest of her name when she feels like it. We made up a jingle for the spelling of her name and she sings it all the time, writing however, is another story. She likes more "hands on" activities! When I picked her up from preschool today she had made a Valentine holder for her Valentines and decorated cookies! Wow, she did a GREAT job adding lots, and lots of accessories. I think she has a Fancy Nancy side where more is always better! Here are her delicious cookies! She had made each of us a special cookie and was very excited to share!



















And now the close up!















Here is her Valentine pouch! She was so proud of everything she did today, and the treats she received!


















We celebrated the Valentines Day with cousins! It was a wonderful surprise visit to see Geri and Cody's family and the kids played and played! We really forgot to do anything else for the day! Scott had got me flowers and chocolate a few days before, but that was supposed to be for him rushing out the door without telling me goodbye or giving me a kiss ;) I got him a new wedding band since his other one is broken, but was informed that he likes his old one because now it is a "spinner"! Alrighty then! On Monday night we did get a very big SURPRISE for all of us so we are calling that our family Valentine's present!
