It’s the day of pink hearts and frosted cookies!
To get ready for valentine’s day, we made some boxes, we decorated, we made cookies!
(This is Jenna’s owl box. I didn’t get a picture of it all finished, but it has cute wings now.)
(This is John’s cow that he painted, but then was sad when his teacher said they didn’t have to make valentine boxes, so he didn’t even get to take it to school.)
(This is how my kitchen table looks when the kids work on projects like this.)
For some of the teachers and friends, we made these love potions. Can you tell what the drink is?
I then made some that were caffeine free.
I even decided to decorate a little bit for the day of hearts.
I loved when I saw ornaments hanging from a chandelier for Christmas, so I thought, why not do that for another holiday? It looks better then it shows in the picture.
I put a little heart garland on the banister.
And put a few heart and love things on the table in the hall.
That is also where I decided to hang the painting that my sister did for me. I don’t love the framing job (since I kind of did it with stuff that was around the house), but I hope I can do a better job with it soon. I still love the painting, though, even if I’m not thrilled with how I framed it.
For the school party, I plan on playing Valentine Bingo, and Heart Lava. I’ll have to post pictures later.
Oh, and how about this sweet valentine card for my honey?
And tonight–Lady Antebellum Concert! Oh, yeah!
I hope you have a fun holiday with YOUR loved ones!
Good job celebration Valentine’s Day. I made giant sugar cookies and Dad took them to his home teaching families. My visiting teachers hardly ever come, so they missed out on getting some cookies.
Paige, we have your other frame ready for the painting–the black one you wanted fixed. We just need to see you sometime to give it to you. Hopefully that will make the painting look a little more the way you were hoping.
