Valentines Party

Heidi and I love our annual Valentine's party - it's much easier than trying to go out with our men on V-day.  So we decorate, buy heart shape pizza and eat by candle light.  And of course the kids love any reason to get together. After dinner we decorated sugar cookies and cupcakes too.

Making Valentines

This is my one and only year to have all 4 kids in the same school and all making Valentines for the class.  I can't believe that next year Tayson will be in Jr. High and won't be doing this.  All of the kids had to make boxes and class cards/treats.  Todd jumped right in and helped the kids tape treats to their cards and do their boxes. 






 

Luke made a special Valentine for his teacher.  He is hilarious.
 



Luke came home about a week ago and told us that he asked Amber to be his Valentine.  He said he had his friend Cody ask her at recess and she said yes.  He was "pretty sure that's how you're supposed to do it".  I asked him what they would be doing together - eating lunch together, playing at recess, kissing, etc.  He said "no I just give her an extra treat after school....the only kiss she will get is a hershey's kiss".  Then a few days later Sophie told me she asked Luke Wiederhold to be her Valentine.  She said she was very scared but knew I would want her to be brave so she asked him and he said yes.  I was dying.  She is the silliest girl.  So when we were at Wal-mart buying stuff they both picked out a little something extra for their special valentines.  Then when we were putting them together Tayson was teasing Luke about having a crush on Amber and Sophie said "I have a crush on Luke.....wait what's a crush?"  She always makes us smile!!

Valentine's Day

Since Heidi and I were both single mom's for valentines we decided to throw a fun kids party.  We invited Jeannie's kids to join us so they could go out and enjoy valentines as a couple.  We ate heart shaped pizza, strawberry milk, and red jello for dinner.
 

Each of the kids had a special "love" card to open.  I had Todd write special messages to the kids before he left.  And the kids and I snuck a valentine's card into Todd's suitcase for him too.
 




Then we let them decorate cupcakes.  Which meant way too many sprinkles and all they did was lick off the frosting.



After they were stuffed full of pink and red carbs they played for a bit then fell fast asleep.  It was sad not being with Todd on Valentines but we had fun with the kids and I was really glad Heidi was there to hang out with me.

Valentines Day

Todd was out of town for Valentines Day this year. BOO! Oh how I missed my valentine! But, instead of being sad and moping around all day I decided to have a party for the kids. After all it is a holiday all about showing love and I love love love my kiddos. So I bought heart shaped pizza which came with a very delicious S'more dessert pizza, made chocolate dipped strawberries and red kool-aid and we had a party. I bought valentine plates, napkins, fancy cups, confetti, Hershey kisses, cards and presents for all the kiddos and then lit the candles for our awesome dinner.





The kids had so much fun eating by candle light and Luke even said "mom - this is the BEST Valentine ever!" I'm sure that will change once he starts liking girls...but for now I'm glad that his mom can give him the best v-day ever. I kept trying to give the boys kisses and they would run away - hilarious.

During dinner I sent a picture to Todd telling him how much we missed him and he sent me back a picture of his lean cuisine that he was eating in his hotel room. Sad. Of course thanks to weight watchers I too had a lean cuisine while the kids ate the pizza.

On a side note: When Todd and I were doing the boys school valentines we laughed so dang hard. They are so silly and they always tease each other. One of them would tease the other one about one of the girls in their class and then they would deny it. Hilarious. Tayson even asked Luke if he wanted to "make out" with so-and-so. Ha. Of course we asked him if he knew what that meant and he said no - what a silly boy. I sure hope that they keep doing this when they are teenagers so I always know what's going on in their lives.

Happy Valentines to Me

Todd bought tickets to see Spamalot a few months ago for our Valentine's date. We love going to the theater so it was the perfect date. Steve & Christine and Jeannie & Trent came with us too. We went to dinner before, to the play then to get desert after. It was so much fun. I love that Todd enjoys going to the theater as much as I do and I always love getting dressed up and going on a big date. I'm sad that this Valentine's day he won't be home (first time ever for us) but we had so much fun I keep reminding myself that the 14th is just a date on the calendar. I sure do love Todd and everyday I am so glad that he married me. He truly is the perfect match for me.
