After the dentist, we had a quick lunch at McDonald's and then headed to New Horizon's Fellowship in Apex for a party. As an aside, I must say that a happy meal is a GREAT, inexpensive lunch for me as well as the kids. Why did I not realize this sooner???
At the beginning of the year, we joined a Christian home school group. As part of the group, each member must volunteer to help with one of the events. I ended up planning the Valentine's Day party. I had no idea that there would be 120 people, as there were about 50 the year before, but it went great. The other moms were wonderful and so helpful. The children were split into age groups and enjoyed games and crafts in their age groups and then got to exchange Valentine's. Of course there was also lots of food, cookies to decorate, coloring, bag decoarting. . .
Here's Ry "reading" all his Valentine's. He loved them. . .even the ones that did not have candy. He kept crawling into my lap, asking me to read them to him.
I was so proud of Madeline. She did not know anyone, but she was comfortable in the group and more than fine that Mommy was not with her. Here she is, preparing to pass out her Valentine's. Of course, she picked out a favorite dress to wear to the party. . .after spewing 10 outfits onto her bedroom floor in an attempt to find the perfect, party dress. I love the girl in her!
My pretty princess LOVES to color. She spent the first 30 minutes of the party decorating her Valentine's bag. I am always impressed by her attention to detail, focus, and creativity. If we had the time, she would spend hours each day coloring, painting and doing craft projects.
