Funny, Brian and I don't really "do" Valentine's Day, but I secretly LOVE the holiday! I don't know why! I love the hype, the commercialism, the candy hearts - love it!
So when James' & Molly's classes both had Valentine's parties AND Amy threw a valentines breakfast for Molly and her besties in the morning, it was just pure paper heart doily bliss.
James brought home a school project with instructions for parents to "work together to create a Valentine's box for the party." I said, "ooooh Buddy, what about a valentine monster that eats the valentines?" DONE. I think James heard, "wah wah wah, MONSTER, wah wah wah, EAT" and he was sold.
I did cut the fur and pieces and (aggressively) monitored James with the hot glue gun, but really, he did it.
This says "feed me" with a spanish exclamation point at the end.
Perhaps they'll cover punctuation in Kindergarten....
Molly at Amy's special valentine's breakfast.
Please note the heart-shaped doughnuts....
...and heart-shaped crazy straws
...and tattoos and art projects.
Do you think Molly liked it?
Then back to school for the parties! James with some friends from class.
Like their shirts? "SOME mom" made those! They say "I (heart) Mrs. Bethany" and each child wore one into class and gave her a paper tissue flower. I mean, really, some people! Who would think of such a thing!!
Mrs. Bethany really is an awesome teacher. They all love her and we've been so impressed with how much they've learned this year and how she is preparing them for kindergarten. She also handles twelve 4-5 year olds alone..... CALMLY.
Happy Valentines Day!
