Seeing how Valentines was on a Sunday this year, we celebrated for a few days, but mostly on Friday.
(Truman helped me paint the chalk board for Valentines, isn’t it cute to see his little writing of LOVE?)
With much sweat, and luckily no tears, the Valentines were made and ready to be delivered to friends at school:
The day started at Tuckers school with a Mom’s and Doughnuts Book Fair Breakfast.
I can’t believe I have three kids filling up that bench!!!
Healthy, sugar free doughnuts were served 🙂
And books were purchased:
Then off to school, Truman had a great valentine party (I signed up to help, but they didn’t need me at the last minute 🙁 ), and returned and promptly dumped his loot on the stairs, to look at the cards from his friends, he stayed there for a good hour, looking at the cards, and eating the candy.
Off to Tucker’s class to help with the class party, it was a great party,
there is a good group of students in his classroom this year.
Tucker too came home, to dump his treats out and read the notes from his friends.
That evening, Cat came down, and sent us out on a date. A very thoughtful gesture, and it was much appreciated!
And you can tell from the pictures, Toph and I were not the only ones who enjoyed our evening away.
And of course, a few tokens of my hubbys and kids love,
Flowers, real
and Flowers, made from balloons.
As well as a HUGE balloon. I kid you not, it’s bigger than me. And even three weeks after the fact, it’s still floating!
A great day day celebrating the love, love, love in our lives.
