**cutest stinkin’ stinkin’ giveaway ever still open in the post below!!**
so i’ve said before and i’ll say it again, i’m not afraid to admit i LOVE valentine’s day. it’s my favorite holiday and when i have my bearings back, i’ll be going all out.
this year, i didn’t get the decorations up. well except the heart garland that my mom made me.
and i did have a scattering of paper doilies, doily hearts, and jewels around the house. the girls loved making “valetimes” almost every day. that counts as decorations, i think!
we did a lot of crafts in the days leading up to valentine’s. two of our favorites were lovebirds:
and making m&m hearts with gel icing. not sure this is a craft…more of a snack, but we had fun doing it!
the girls are both in preschool now (sadie only one day a week, harper five half-days a week) so i had to make them something to take to school.
it was super simple this year. that’s all i could manage and i think these were just fine!
for sadie i found some free printables online and she gave each student a heart ring pop:
and for harper i downloaded some lollipop bands from elle’s studio
v-day is one of the few times a year where i just let it go and let the girls have too much sugar. š
this is the special dinner j made for them sunday night. he had to go out of town this week and felt bad about missing valentine’s, bless his heart.
is there anything better than daddy-made breakfast for supper?
wish i had gotten his face in this photo, he was SO proud of himself!
and i made the girls a special breakfast yesterday. when they woke up this was waiting for them, along with a little felt conversation heart purse filled with a valentine’s rubber ducky, conversation hearts, a plush pez dispenser, and a heart that grows when you put it in water.:
and here was our dinner:
and of course i have to mention ‘ashion. i’d be remiss if i didn’t.
i couldn’t find harper a cute, affordable option, so i took a tee she already had and ironed on a sequin heart. why don’t i do this more often? SO cheap!!
sadie wore harper’s dress from last year…check out the valentine’s box we made together. think any other kids in her class had thickers and washi tape on theirs?
i should have checked so i could hunt down their mothers and demand that we be friends. ha!
and the babies wore the cutest baby outfits ever, thanks to my friend mandy.
a day to celebrate love? what’s not to love about that.
hope yours was sweet.
xoxo
