That's what she's been calling it, just like that... "Have a good day, my Valenti
mes" to her Daddy as he left for the day. "I can't wait for my Valenti
mes Pawty today Mama!" as she bounced around the house all morning. And, "Does Gwandma weally have a Valenti
mes Birthday?"
I'm inclined to call it Valenti
mes Day for the rest of my life.
In keeping with our family tradition of avoiding classroom gifts that involve sugar, we browsed amazon together and decided that these were a fun idea...
Armed with
a box of 250, some of
these bags to stuff them in, and
this free tag, we created what might be my favorite contribution to date.
I'm not sure how the 2nd graders' classmates liked them since I wasn't able to make it to their party, but one of them did tell him that he had spoiled her with the gift. I guess that means she liked it?
The kindergarteners all had big delighted eyes, and I'm sure would have been over the top crazy if they had been allowed to open them at school. All the mommies partying along with them would most likely have ended up with twisted ankles and bruised shins though. Best save that level of trouble for home, eh?
