Today felt like a marathon in celebration of Valentine’s Day! After spending the morning decorating the house, shopping for teacher gifts, wrapping the few presents from James and I for the boys and filling out cards, the afternoon was spent at the boys’ school parties. Griffin’s party was up first with an unfortunate overlap into Nolan’s party. I felt SO guilty that I had to miss part of Nolan’s party, but as the Room Mom for Griffin’s class, I do not think it would be appropriate for the hostess to leave!
Craft time! Have I mentioned how much G LOVES crafting? It seriously is almost an obsession for this boy.
Once again Oriental Trading Company came through with Faith based Valentine’s Day crafts!
My sweet boy and a picture with the his friend Jake. What a difference six months makes! G looks so little next to him! And don’t you love the cookie hanging out of Griffin’s mouth?
G’s Valentine’s Day Card for James and I
Griffin is in the “Owl” Class and his teachers made the most adorable boxes for all their Valentine’s Day cards.
As soon as the party ended I raced to Nolan’s class party. We were 20 minutes late and I felt awful!! I need to clone myself.
G made himself at home.
The principal on the left. I love that she takes the time to touch base at all the parties.
Playing the game Hot Potato with a stuffed heart. Nolan made it to the finals!
After school the boys could not wait to open their goodies from us and dive into their Valentine’s cards from their classmates. I still remember how much I loved doing that as a child!
The student council at Nolan’s school hosts a fundraiser by selling “Smencil’s” (scented large pencils) for $1 a piece to purchase for friends. Nolan was so worried this morning he would not get any. He received four!
Whew! What a day! Filled with fun and of course much love!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
