In my opinion, there's nothing sweeter than a handmade Valentine! I was chuckling to myself the night before Valentine's Day when mamas were posting their "Pinterest-worthy" Valentines on Facebook, which I'm sure took them a crazy amount of time and their kids had zero involvement. I just don't understand the point of this. Do people think their kids' classmates will be impressed?! What is the point of this over-the-top nonsense? Perhaps the mamas enjoy the creative outlet, but that's totally not me! ;)
Since the stomach bug hit our house over Valentine's Day weekend, we didn't celebrate in the way we intended...but the girls still at least got to wake up to their V-Day goodies from us! :)
 |
| Each of the girls got 2 new books, a $5 gift card to Starbucks (they love cake pops!), and a new Imagine Ink book. |
 |
| We got Shelby one of the National Geographic Kids Weird But True books. Each book contains "300 outrageous facts," perfect for our girl! She came down the next morning to wake me up with her book in hand. I was prepared to do our usual routine where I read a book or a chapter to her while she drinks her milk, then we have some "Tablet Time" while we wait on Daddy & Hadley to wake up. But nope, she proceeded to read aloud to me almost all 300 facts! ;) After every single one, she would say something along the lines of "Did YOU know that, Mama?!" or "Did you hear that, Mama?!" or "Can you believe that?!" If you a fact-loving reader on your hands, these books are must-haves! (I think they have like 8 different versions of this book.) |
Hopefully next year we'll get to celebrate Heart Day sans stomach bug! :)
