we're suckers...for Valentine's day!

I usually am not too "into" Valentine's Day but it sure has been lots of fun with the kids this year! We decided to make some unique and creative valentines for the kids to take to their schools. Trista also had snack day at school this week so we may "Cupid Clusters" which basically consisted of yogurt blast Cheerios, dried strawberres, held together by some melted white chocolate. They turned out pretty yummy and definitely festive!

Miss Trista's Valentine (version 1)...she didn't like the picture I picked out so we have 2 versions!

Mr. Tanner

Both kids have Valentine's Day parties/activities at their schools on Monday, so I have to figure out a way to make it to both (and they are separated by 20 miles)! Tanner has been busy selling cookies for his school, they are raising money for their playground flooring. He asked each person individually if they wanted to buy cookies, it was very cute. Who could pass up a 4 year old boy asking "Can you buy some cookies for my school?" We hit up the fire station on Monday night at their monthly meeting and that really boosted his sales! His goal was $50 of cookies and he hit $300!! Trista is busy reading and writing, I also taught her how to play rummy this week so we have nightly rummy matches now! Both kids enjoyed the snow this week but it looks like it is going to be warm this weekend so it will likely be gone by Monday!

Happy (early) Valentine's Day!
