The boys were very excited about their respective Valentine’s Day parties at school this year. This was the first year I really made Thomas help with his Valentines (aside from his usual task of picking which one goes to each friend). It was too hard for him to write his name on the tiny space on the front, so I had him write “From Thomas H.” on the back of each valentine.
It took three sessions spaced out over the course of that Sunday, but he finally managed to finish his 20 valentines. Whew!
Since Thomas was in school on the actual day, his party was that Monday. I was involved in planning and the teacher recommended we have an ice cream sundae party. Sounded like a great idea to me!
Thomas was happy with it. He, of course, steered clear of the chocolate-y toppings and opted for dumping what seemed to be a pound of sprinkles on his ice cream instead. He did venture out and ask for caramel sauce (and whipped cream).
Most of the children wanted chocolate ice cream and chocolate toppings, but everyone seemed to find some way to make their sundae just right!
After a story about Valentine’s Day, it was time to go. Thomas had quite a full bag of Valentines from his class friends.
We waited until we got home for him to check out all of his loot. He has asked me many times since then when it will be Valentine’s Day again.
Since Parker is not in school on Mondays, he had to wait until the day after Valentine’s Day for his class party. It was worth the wait.
Parker loves a class party!
And at the end of the party, he had his very own self-decorated bag full of Valentines from his class friends.
I made him wait until we got home and he could have his turn to check out his treasures.
I think he was happy with everything.
And then he got into the stickers his Nannie & Papa sent him for Valentine’s Day.
Apparently he couldn’t pick just one. Such is the dilemma of Valentine’s Day.
