I like Valentine’s Day. Not because of the mushy, love stuff, but because it gives me the opportunity to get crafty! :) Just like all the other days this year, it snuck up on me so I didn’t get to be as crafty as I wanted to be.
Because Cody only goes to school 3 days a week, his Valentine’s Day part was first. He is still a die-hard Yo Gabba Gabba fan after 2.5 years so it was only appropriate to make Yo Gabba Gabba Valentine’s for him.
He had a fun party at school and was excited to show me his “Valentine Box” of goodies! He proudly carried it from his classroom to the car and sat in on his lap the whole ride home (with a smile on his face). I had to snap a pic with my phone camera because he was just so cute with it!
This is the coveted box that he made at school. The top is covered in red heart stickers.
When we opened the box to unveil its contents,
he lost interest and moved on. Apparently, he just wanted the covered box. :)
DJ’s Valentine’s party was on Friday. Because he preferred store bought Valentine’s Day cards, I didn’t to customize his. He was so excited to write out his Valentine’s out all on his own. I had to ignore the “craft voice” in me and let him enjoy the independence of doing his treats his way.
He came home with a goody bag, too, and couldn’t wait to look in the bag to see what fun cards and treats he received.
He even had a sweet card for his dad and I.
What I love most is that he said “I know I don’t go by DJ at school, but I asked the teacher if I could sign it “DJ” since that is what you guys call me.” (He goes by his given name at school – a decision he made when he started kindergarten.)
DJ woke up on Valentine’s Day with a sore throat and fever, but his Valentine goodies made him feel a little better.
Cody was too busy reading the cover of his Blue’s Clue’s Valentine DVD cover to look at the camera for a picture. ;)
I hope you all enjoyed your Valentine’s Day with your families. We had a nice relaxing one at home – just the way I like it!
