Valentine's Day Countdown

Last Friday, we began our Valentine's countdown. We have activities for each day leading up to Valentine's Day and this year the kids have been waking up to find a new Valentine's treat each morning. 
Day 1
"Hope your day is Marvelous and Magnificent just like you!!"
The kids found M&M's waiting for them and our activity for the day was to heart attack someone. I gave the kids the option of heart attacking anyone they wanted to-grandparents, friends, teachers, etc. They both wanted to heart attack Gwen. So sweet. After school, we got busy cutting out hearts and they covered Gwen's crib. They were so excited to show her what they had done. 



Day 2
"You blow me away!"
New bubbles were waiting for all 3 kids and we kept it easy and watched, "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown".
 Day 3
"Life is a circus with you around! Full of fun and lots to do....I love you!"
Sometimes our house is like a circus, so the kids found Animal Cookies to share. 
Our activity was to play a heart matching game. 

 Day 4
"Have a ball today!"
They got a new ball set to play with and we made heart pies for dessert. 




 Day 5
"I love you more than chocolate...and that's a lot!"
Mommy decided to change today's plans and we read some Valentine's stories instead of doing our craft. We had 11 kids at our house today, so Mommy was a little burned out.
