Valentine Fun

Thursday the 12th--Had a nice lunch date with Lane at The Keeter Center.  This pecan pie bread pudding and vanilla bean ice cream was delicious!

After school Thursday we finished the kids' class valentines.  Rhett's class didn't have an official party, but they were allowed to pass out cards/treats to their classmates so he took snack packages of Chips Ahoy cookies.  Alexee and Crosby took the same kind of cards.  I printed these free Valentine words searches, and we attached a pencil and a fruit snack to each one.  

Teacher treats and puppy bag sample for Crosby's class--they made these during their party.

Alexee wanted to make a Beanie Boo box for her valentines.  We painted "Rocco" on cardboard and glued it to an empty cereal box.

It was nice that the 2nd grade and Kindergarten parties didn't overlap!  I went to A's party at noon.  Miss B always has things super organized--I love it!  She divided the class into four groups which rotated through the four activity stations:  math activity/sorting and graphing candy hearts, a Minute to Win It cookie game, craft and snack.   

                         

They also did this cute Valentine questionnaire for writing that day.  :)

 

Crosby's party was at 1:30.  The kids were so excited to exchange cards and eat snacks!  

AND Mrs. H, who is currently on maternity leave, made a surprise visit during the party--and she even brought her beautiful baby girl!  It was super sweet when she walked through the door and the kids all ran over to her.  They were so happy to see her, and they thought the baby was very cute.  

She asked if I'd like to hold her...YES, OF COURSE!

Saturday morning Crosby had a basketball game.  We took a quick photo on our way out the door.  His game was fun--he did great.  He got the ball and shot twice, rebounded once and got to dribble the ball down the court once.  He works hard and always has fun!

After the game we stopped at Target.  Rhett had a gift card that he wanted to use, and he was so sweet to offer to buy Alexee and Crosby each a small valentine gift.  He has always been a thoughtful gift-giver.  

 Bogart got a bath, a red bandana and lots of hugs for the holiday.  :)

Watching Peppa Pig

Then the mailman delivered a fun package from Grammy and Bobba!  The kids were excited to open their valentine treats!  (Thank you, Grammy and Bobba!!)

Lane had to work the early shift on Saturday but was home that evening so I made our cherry pies.
