Our Valentine Party

This year we planned and hosted a Valentine Party for a few of the kids' friends.  It was on February 13, and both kids helped plan the party.  They helped choose the food (Capri Suns, cocoa banana muffins) and made the decorations.  

Most of the time was spent eating and playing with toys in the living room.  The  boys ate so many muffins!  EK was happy to have so many people at home to play with, and both children liked that two babies were in attendance.  We planned an art project, but only my kids spent much time making the V day cards.

It was a pleasant time, and I think that it was a good last party to have in our house!

Valentine Balloons

We had a little valentine play date today, and Dan brought out a gift for the kids a day early- a heart balloon. This is Daniel's fourth consecutive heart balloon and it was a hit this year, too. He wanted to run with it, bop it, and see if it could lift objects and fly them.

We also had balloons out for our party to play with. Daniel tried all weekend to blow them up, with minor success. He bathed with a balloon one night and used one inside his pjs as a new baby belly poof (his term) another night. Today the boys wanted to draw faces on the balloon. Daniel wanted happy, but the other sillies wanted sad, so we made ones with two faces. Daniel loved it.
