Valentine's Day

This week we celebrated Valentines day twice, once with Kayden's classroom on Thursday and then on the real Valentine's day (Friday).

Kayden had a rough morning on Thursday and didn't want to go to school, which may have resulted in him going to school with no shoes!  That is a story for another day.  I'm grateful, however, that Kayden snapped out of it quickly after I dropped him off because I had decided to participate in his schools Valentine Party and it may have not gone as well had he decided to stay in his funk.  The party wasn't anything extravagant, but rather simply a special valentine book, cupcake and the passing out of the valentines, but it was enough for the kids. 

Here are a couple of the pictures from his special Valentine's party at school.

I included this picture because of the boy behind Emily, flipping the finger.  They were singing a song and it started off with five of something, then counted down to zero.  Well, this kid stayed on one the whole time.  So funny.

 Before they got their Valentine cupcake, they had to eat their snack.

Kayden had fun passing out his Valentines.  We put little tags on these crazy straws that said, "Sip Sip Hooray, it's Valentine's Day"  I was aiming for a non-candy valentine and thought the kids would love these straws!

We then celebrated Valentine's day on Friday with Kyle.  Started off with meeting Kyle for lunch, where Kayden got car sick. :(  Then we ran a couple errands and ended up at a frozen yogurt shop for a mid-afternoon Valentine treat.  And then finished the day off with a steak dinner for Kyle and chicken for me.  Kayden had his favorite, macaroni and cheese, accompanied with a baked potato with sour cream, butter, cheese and cheez-its on top.  We polished off dinner with a cake I had ordered from Christy.  Yum.

We hope everyone had a fantastic Valentines Day!
