My Valentines

I think I have 3 of the best Valentines there are. I'm pretty lucky. I used to not take Valentine's Day that seriously. But the kids have so much fun with it that I like to play it up for them. And, it was Max's first time getting to hand out real Valentine's at school (he did it in preschool but it wasn't quite the same).

This is what we ended up with. They were SUPER easy and surprisingly I didn't see any others like them (the idea had been floating around Pinterest for awhile so I was worried we'd see a lot of the same).

Max signed every one -- 30 of them. Lia mostly just watched and looked cute.

That night I had planned a special "red" dinner but Max requested pork chops with rice and when he requests a dinner outside of his usual rotation I jump on it. So pork chops, rice, corn and a few treats to go with it. The kids were pretty bummed that Tyler had to work late. I was, too. He did make up for it the next day by bringing Lia and I flowers and Max some Mentos (one of his favorites).

 

 

Max claimed it was his best Valentine's Day ever. I win!
