The week leading up to Valentine's Day, we had fun with some heart themed crafts. My favorite was the shrinky dinks. I was super excited to see that they still make them and the kids were amazed watching their hearts shrink in the oven.
We also made strawberry flavored rice krispy treats. I used a candy mold to shape some hearts.
James addressed Valentines for his classmates. He chose paper airplane Valentines after a serious debate at Target.
James and I made felt flowers for his two teachers. Idea from here.
I wrapped them in tissue and tied the bunches with some ribbon. He was very proud of his gift and was all smiles as he handed them to his teachers.
James was so excited about his Valentine's Day party at school. All the kids love the idea of a party and all the treats, but it seems as though they never really eat that much or really like the sweets.
One thing he did love was opening all the Valentines from his friends at school.
We had a low-key Valentine's day in Albemarle. It was nice to have a dinner out with Wesley without the kids and we bought the new Sade CD for ourselves. The kids also enjoyed opening their Valentines that came in the mail while we were away.
