Valentines Day 2012

Thank you Hallmark and all the companies commercializing Valentines Day! Not my favorite holiday but having kids makes it fun. I found a fun card idea in the Family Fun magazine so the girl's and I made their cards for school.This was the first year Jaco didn't do anything for school. A little different at middle school.

Making the bracelets to give to school friends!

Finished product made with LOVE


On the big heart day, La-La was lucky and had a fun field trip! I was even luckier and got to go along. They had been studying a science unit on matter and how things change. The fieldtrip took us to different businesses in the area. We saw how cheese is made starting from milk and got to sample different kinds. 
Sampling cheese...mmm tasty!

This place was fun but stinky!


Then we walked to Papa Murphy's where each student got to make their own mini pizza. They baked them later at the school and got to see how everything changed when baked.
Focus...

La-La's class showing off their pizza's!


Finally we went to a glass blowing shop which was definitely my favorite!


A blob of hot glass waiting to be blown into a bulb.


When we got back to the school I bounced between Care Bear's and La-La's classes and helped with their parties.

Care Bear, Mila, and Ariana! 3 besties!!!


The elementary had a balloon fundraiser where you could purchase a balloon bouquet for valentines day. I got each of the kids one but forgot to take pictures. We usually get heart shaped pizza for dinner but this year we went to Home Town Buffet as a family instead. There you have it. V-Day 12, just a couple months late. :-)
