Very Valentines

I love Valentines Day.  I like an extra reason for a little romance.  And I love my husband.  So Valentines Day is always fun.  This year I decided to do something special for the kids.


Because these cuties are totally worth it.


Painting hearts for crafts.  Megan and Adam especially loved doing this.


I even helped Hannah paint dots on a heart for her. Megan took this picture.


For some reason this picture wouldn't turn the right direction.  This craft failed, but it was so cute on pinterest.  You tape a big heart onto a piece of paper and then scribble all around it and then remove the heart.  My kids didn't seem to get it and tired of scribbling quickly.  If you squint you can kind of see the heart shape.


Megan shows off her bag she made in preschool and the little Valentines they exchanged.


I had the three youngest make a hand bouquet for Will.  It was really hard to get Hannah to open her hand after getting paint on it.  But it turned out cute.


I decorated our kitchen table, which I never do.  The plates, silverware, rose petals, and tablecloth all came from the dollar store.  So I didn't feel guilty just scooping the whole thing up afterwards and throwing it away.


And a kid friendly dinner.  Cutting peppers into heart shapes was harder than I expected but I think the kids liked the meal.


Then we made "blizzards" for dessert.  I bought a bunch of mix ins for the ice cream.  It was super delicious.  I also bought each kid a Valentines stuffed animal.


And bonus picture - I tried to get Hannah to sit up by herself for the first time.  Obviously, she wasn't thrilled with the experience.
