Valentine Play Date

I've been running a Valentine card sweatshop in our house for the last few weeks. Between two parties and valentines for our little neighbors and friends, the buddies needed to make a little more than 60 cards. We started in mid-January and still have a few more to make before our next event.





Thanks to a great idea from my cousin, we melted bits of crayon in heart shaped molds and created heart crayons for our friends. Then. the buddies glued them onto foam hearts and added heart stickers. Later, I attached notes to each of their friends. Ben chose, "Have a happy Valentines Day for 'crayon' out loud". Ace liked, "You make the world colorful".




This morning, we squeezed into our Gap Kids Valentines shirts (for the third year!), packed up 34 of our handmade Valentines, and headed to Miss Annie's house for our twin & triplet playgroup Valentine's Day party. We also brought Baked (with love) Ziti, using heart shaped pasta for the delicious and festive potluck.



Each kiddo created a cute bag for their valentines. The buddies both chose pink bags but decorated them with manly train stickers (of course!). Then, the little friends stuffed them with valentines and other goodies.


After several hours of fun and way too much good food (and punch for Ace) we said our goodbyes and headed home.
