This year for Valentines day I took Lincoln to his first Valentines day party. I love crafts and arty stuff and coloring, painting, and gluing. I am so excited to do projects with my kids that I took my 19 month old to a craft day/ valentines day party when he really just wanted to eat the glue in to grand Foy tradition.
The result is the bag you see here. He colored it, stuck hearts on it and even printed his name! Just kidding - he wrote it in cursive but I didn't want to show off so I erased it and printed it for him.
The other part of this party was 1. Eating, and 2. exchanging Valentines. As I may have mentioned before, Linc is a good eater. I made him a plate of food, all the normal stuff, goldfish, fruit, a muffin, and he ate it. A few minutes later I went back to check on him and all the other kids had gone to play and he was working the room, cleaning their plates. It was funny but I couldn't help but flash to the scene in Billy Madison when that kid ate every ones lunches on the field trip... Lord help us!
Ok, now my rant about Valentines Day cards. Remember when we were kids and you for a cute card and it came with a little envelope? And you could write your friends names and a heart or sticker on it? What happened to that? Now everything is a tattoo or a 3D monster or a character from a Disney movie. I just wanted something simple and plain - with an envelope because that was half the fun! Opening the envelope to see who it was from! Just turning the thing over somehow loses some of the excitement but maybe I'm just over analyzing this.
Anyhow, after Linc's nap I let him open the bag and it was a big hit. He got a couple stickers and a bunch of 3D monsters and he thought it was peachy!
