{Valentines Day Party}

Tre's pre-school class had a very exciting day!

A Valentines Day Party!

Tre & I had been anticipating this event for weeks.

We arrived at Tre's school with

many marvelous items in tow

hand picked from the flower department

of a local grocery store to deliver to the tiny hands

of each pretty girl in his k-3 class.

to share with all his pals & girlfriends

to let them know how much they are

loved

to be enjoyed during the

refreshment

portion of the fun filled party.

as a contrabution to the goody bags

Ms. shannon always puts together

so well for each holiday

For 3 of Tre's favorite teachers at his school

& one for the sweet director of the school.

This valentines day party took me a week to prepare for.

It was a lot of fun! I started making the gifts for the teachers & director on monday.

Tre & I assembled them.

We bought hand sanitizer &

clear paper quotes to glue on the de-labeled soap bottles.

Once the glue dries the paper becomes transparent

& just the words & stickers can be seen

(in the picture above the glue was still very much wet.)

We then wrapped the finished & festive bottles in

polk-a-dot fabric & tied it all with pretty ribbon.

We attached a note that read...

"loving me can be dirty work!

Thank you!

I love you, Tre Sclater"

I took pictures of Tre & made a photo colage of our

cutie-pie for his valentines.

Ms. shannon had requested I make cookies

for the event so I made two kinds.

peanutbutter surprise cookies &

cakey chocolate hearts with powdered sugar.

YUMMY!

The night before the party I was crafting &....

The hours the preperation required was well worth it!

Tre came out of the school with a huge smile

& with chocolate smudges on his little chin.

He carried in his hands a huge bag filled with treats & love letters.

But the day was only 1/2 over....

We had more fun awaiting us at the Whiting's home!
Tamsyn made a yummy lunch & the kids played

all over the house & outside for a bit.

There were even goody bags to be had! What a fun & fancy lunch!

Needless to say we are all pretty tuckered out after all the

playing & sugar

bedtime was welcomed with sleepy eyes & longing for pillows.

For the first time I really get Valentines Day.

What a great celebration! I love that my little boy felt so loved by his friends & teachers. I love that he walked out of school carrying a bag of sweet notes to him. I can only imagine that my little guy felt so much love & confidence today.

Who doesnt like to be told they are loved?

Speaking of love....I am in love with the fact that I have 4 very adorable & handsome valentines !

Now this momma needs some sleep!

Have a happy valentines day!

hugs & kisses from the sclater guys & me!
