Valentine's this year wasn't all that exciting because both Nick and I had to work. I got home late Sunday night from Utah and stayed up until 12:30 preparing for Valentine's. I had to make Bentley's for his pre-school party and I had to put together Nick's as well as my kiddos. It was worth all the work late at night.
Above are the Valentine's that Bentley took for his class mates. They are sand shoves with the conversation hearts attached. The sticker reads "I dig you, Love Bentley." I saw the idea for these on a blog that I follow. The sticker was created by a Caitlin.
Bentley took this box above with fortune cookies in it for his teacher. It reads, "I'm so fortunate to have you as my teacher!"
I was lazy and smart I would say ha ha because I just went over to the local Panda Express and asked for extra cookies while ordering. I knew that I couldn't make them any better. I just dipped them in white chocolate and sprinkles.
For Nick I just bought a six pack of Rootbeer and for the boys they each got a new movie. Pretty simply, but I was so tired by then of candy and didn't want to have to keep fighting with them on how much they could have or when they could have it. They were both really happy!
I had to drive to Bullhead for work that day and so I had Nick drive down with me. It was about the only time we were able to spend together that day. It was fun though. When I got home from work that afternoon there was a vase of roses and an adorable card. I love when he writes his thoughts down on a card it makes me blush ;)
Later in the afternoon I decided I had better get on the Robots that Bentley and I wanted to give to his friends that weren't in his pre-school class. It was a bit hectic because Bentley insisted on helping. The robot is just a box of tic tacs, 3 starbursts, 4 M&M's and some silly eyes. Again, I had a Caitlin design the wrapper and it read, "I'm nuts and bolts about you, Love Bentley." Way easy and fun for boys!
Bentley so proud of the robots he helped with! Love you bud.
While I was in Utah I picked up these cute blocks and figured they could be my Valentine to my friends. I got them at Krumpets in Utah. I love that store :)
Hillary brought over some goodies for the boys. The water bottle was from Callie and it was "Love Juice!" The cute airplane was from Jack!
Bentley & Lacey helped me make these Peanut Butter cookies. I had every intention of making sugar cookies to but never got around to it.
It was starting to get late as I was finishing the robots and Lacey had shown up so we decided since both of our husbands were working that we would just go out to Chili's without them! We had fun. What a way to end the day. Hope each of you had a great V-day!
