Some tidbits of hearts and treats from the past few:
Aiden read the Myth-o-mania Cupid book just in time for the holiday.
Keaton's class celebrated valentines and friendship all week long. His favorite was the bar graph with candy hearts, where he used the very scientific method: graph one, eat one.
Lemon cakes were the treat of choice this year!
Keaton gave out ladybug squirters attached to a card that said a Love Bug for you Ladybug Friend, Bugs and Hugs, Keaton" since his class at school is called the Ladybugs. He wrote at least one letter of his name on all 12 of them and some friends got an elaborate map drawn on it too. I somehow forgot to take a picture of Aiden's finished valentines, but they said "Shell we be Valentines?" and had the sea shells from FL that Lulu gave us - thx!
Trader Joe's knows how to make a good mousse chocolate cake, and it was just our size (small given all the other treats around).
Keaton made this very symmetrical minimalist valentine and he was very proud that he insisted on spelling his name with the teacher's special silver pen. She is so patient.
Gran and Pop sent along these really fun sticker cards (complete with PopPop poetry!) right before leaving on they big South America trip… We are glad they are having fun, but we miss them!
J not so secretly bought me the new lego bird set, which is very Charley Harperish and I love it. Aiden even got in on the action and made me the hummingbird one. They are really fun additions to my shelf mish mash.
Aiden made this fun Valentine with the word bubbles… The cupid arrow cutout from paper is my favorite.
We had a nice lazy afternoon on Valentines where we had a typical at-home lunch with a little extra heart flare. Keaton was squealing with joy that his strawberries grew like hearts!
We are suckers for packaged refrigerated cinnamon rolls and it was fun to reinvent them and make these puffy hearts as a surprise. Thanks Pinterest!
Keaton's class made a "Love Book" and Keaton's entry made me think I definitely needed a haircut…only joking, it actually made me tear up, since he's usually not drawing people since he's "too busy" making maps with portals, caves, and doors…I wish I was kidding, but someone loves watching his dad and brother play D&D paper version.
Aiden's nutrition facts tag for the mini lemon bundt cake we made for his teacher is a classic.
I can still remember coming home with the big bag of valentine's after the school parties in elementary school. This year they had so, so many treats. He and his brother shared their very first pop rocks!
