Eve got a lollipop and a pencil from Lex’s teacher at drop-off this morning. She was thrilled! I made her wait all the way through an eye doctor’s appointment and until we got home before I let her eat it.

When we dropped Lex off this morning his classmates were already putting their cards into cute envelops they had all made. Instead of the usual boring worksheet to start the day the class was all atwitter with Valentine’s excitement. Lex said they were having a Valentine’s Day/100 Days of School party, and it was gym day!! He was super eager to go to school this morning!

Emptying out their bags this afternoon after school I was amazed with the amount of candy and stickers and tatoos and pencils there were. Somehow Valentine’s Day has become a pink Halloween. I’m a culprit as well, with our bags of treats that got stapled to each card we sent in. It’s hard to resist! :)

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! (I’m going to go pay attention to my little loved ones now, instead of ignoring them for the computer.)
