Valentine's Day Fun (I know it's May 1st, oops)

When Amelia's note about making a valentine's box came home in her bag she immediately told me she wanted to make a cat.  Ok.  So I went to pinterest, found some cute ideas and hit up the dollar store for a few supplies.  One evening her and I were home alone, Asher and Nathan had ran a quick errand, so we went to work.  You can see that she was working hard and get really did pretty good, I think our cat was wonderful and more importantly Amelia LOVED it.

Working hard.

Finished product.

The kids had lots of Valentine's Day fun this year.  At the beginning on the month we did a fun heart shaped craft and pink strawberry brownie (which were amazing). 
On Tuesday Nathan was in St Louis, so it was just the kids and I, so we hit up Build-A-Bear for a new Valentine's Day stuffed animal.  Got to love coupons, I paid a total of $20 out of pocket for two stuffed animals!

Thursday morning Amelia, dressed in PJ's, took her cat Valentine's Day box to school and had a lot of fun exchanging valentine's with all her little friends.  Thursday afternoon Mema threw a Valentine's Day party for Amelia, Asher and Kylie.  She went all out!  The kids LOVED it.  Friday they went to Sara's and got more goodies.  Friday nights are gymnastics night, and we had planned to eat at Ruby Tuesday's afterwards, but the place was PACKED, so we hit up McAlister's and then headed home to give the kids their gifts from Nathan and I.  They both received a new pair of Tom's, some PJ's, a book and for course some candy.  LOTS of Valentine's Day fun!
