Hearts and PINK!

I was toying with the idea of having a Valentines party this year.  Nobody really has them unless your kids are in school and from what I remember from school they were kinda lame.
But with 'the sickness' kicking my butt again I was not up to throwing one together last minute.  I am pulling for next year though.

I still planned fun, festive activities though for my kids and Liam we did not invite any body else to make it a 'party'

When the kids woke up I made them omelettes.  It may not sound super special but it was served with red raspberries and chocolate milk to give it a more valentines feel.

After breakfast I spray painted all the little dragons hair pink!

I had some paint left over from Halloween and took the opportunity to use it.  The mirror was the favorite toy for about 30 mins. 

I did some cleaning while the dragons danced and had a snack.  I did not plan a lot for today most of it was spur of the moment so everything was not themed.  Snacks were just some pink go-gurts. 

We had a surprise visit from pa'pa in the afternoon.  He brought Athena and I some chocolates :) which we shared with the drooling boys of course. 

Thursday is library day for a special reading for Athena and Liam.  They read some fun Valentines books and participated in a quick craft while Spencer played with the library toys and I searched for the next two weeks books. 

The kids did show off their hair a little bit. ;)

When we got home I made pink mac-m-cheese and fruit cups with a drop of red dye in it.  

 

I did not stir it up.  I served it as the picture shows and let the kids watch the dye fall and watch the color change as they ate or stirred the fruit. 

The giggled and giggled at the new colored foods. 

After lunch a maze and Valentines pencils were waiting for the kids.  

When they completed the maze they got a special heart stamp on their hands. 

Then it was time for face painting!!!

 They all asked for something different.  Athena wanted a cat nose, Spencer just wanted all parts of his face painted.  Liam was very happy with the dragon. 

 I decided to join in the face painting and Spencer started laughing he thought it was really cool that Mommy was getting her face painted too.  Seeing the excitement Jerry also joined and I painted a heart on his face. 

 

It was a day of love, happiness, hearts, and PINK!

We also gifted the kids with big teddy bears and a small box of chocolates.  They danced with their bears until the end of the night.
