The boys kicked off the long weekend with their Valentine's parties at school. Keaton's class calls it a "Feelings Party" after spending the week talking about all sorts of feelings and then explaining what love is and how you show it. Aiden's class collects gift card donations and then they go around surprising support staff with them along with other "random acts of kindness" - which seems like a great way to spread the love! - and then they celebrate with cherry 7up ice cream floats, a heart pencil craft, and a funny game where they tried to unwrap a Hershey kiss with big mittens on.
They pass out valentine treats they have all worked really hard to write everyone's names and their own name on (which was 15 kids plus four teachers for Keaton and 25 kids plus two teachers for Aiden). They put together shell necklaces with Gran in FL (thx! "Shell we be Valentine's?") and found these fun valentines with punch out animal glasses (Aiden's wearing the tiger below). Out of the big pile they received, I think Keaton's favorite was the Oreo cake pop and Aiden's the candy watch. My favorite was the sweet and thoughtful letter Aiden carefully crafted for me - it even had a lift tab to prove he is my kid and knows what I like ;)
