Valentine's Day...

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays. I love helping the boys dream up their boxes, I love designing their Valentine cards and I love the parties where they get to exchange little tokens of friendship with their classmates.

This year, Roen went with a turtle theme. Did you know he has an undying love for turtles? He has a feisty little pet turtle he named I Love Turtles- I kid you not. So, we went with a turtle Valentine box and turtle cookies to hand out.

Remi is my science man, so we created him some pretty cute little test tube science experiments to hand out to his classmates. Each test tube was filled with red heart confetti and instructions on how to do a fun little science experiment at home. His class opted for decorated sacks, so we did the best we could and used Scientific Elements to spell his name on one side and did a graduated cylinder filled with squishy fluid on the other.

I always look forward to coming up with ideas that represent my boys perfectly! I love that my 8 year old had a turtle box, when most of his buddies had sports themed boxes- Roen has never been in any hurry to grow up, and I love that about him. I love that for the third year in a row, Remi has had science related Valentine box- from a volcano, to Saturn and now test tubes. He is my constant, never veering far from what he loves!























Teacher gifts- Strawberry Poundcake candles and lotion nestled inside the cutest little pink berry baskets...



Roen may have had to miss his party, but he was all smiles about his new Valentine slides from Aunt Whit...



Remi's class had an Ice Cream Sundae bar with just about every topping you can imagine! I don't think this little stinker looked at a single Valentine card he received!





And probably one of the best parts of the day was getting to wear my new hot pink Valentine sweatshirt...



Micah and I typically don't do Valentine gifts because we would rather do date night with friends. But, being the secret romantic that he is, he can never pass up an opportunity to spoil me with goodies and treats! He gave me a dozen dipped strawberries, two bottles of champagne, a giant Hershey Kiss, a package of gummy bears and the most dainty sweet gold heart for my charm bracelet. He is too good to me and I love him for it!
