1st Grade Valentine

       So this year, honestly, Ethan and I were a little disappointed. It wasn't as fun as last year. He didn't get to decorate a valentine box, bag or anything like last year. But he did still get to make and pass out Valentines. Ethan is in love with Minecraft and jokes. So this year we made Valentine Minecraft joke cards and attached Extra gum creepers. Yes, he isn't supposed to have gum and school and it sounds like the teacher told the kids they couldn't eat the gum tell they got home but he really wanted to give gum creepers, so we did it anyway. Naughty Naughty. Anyway, we think they turned out pretty good and creepy.
   Ethan also really loves his first grade teacher this year and wanted to give her something special. So Addison and I made tissue paper flowers, which Ethan colored when he got home. Then we wrote a poem to put at the bottom of a heart shaped basket and filled with chocolate hearts and put the flowers on top. I think it turned out cute.
    Ethan also brought home lots of fun Valentines. Addison was a little jealous and wished at that moment that she was in school too. She has the nicest and sweetest brother because Ethan willing shared his candy with Addison. In fact, I think that Addison ate most of it. Ethan and even Addison are not very big candy eaters.

     For Valentines this year, Mommy and Daddy also wanted to express our love. We tried to keep the treats down a little so Mommy just put a few items in a decorated brown bag. Mommy put individual cereals they like, Minion PEZ with PEZ candy, ring pop, a rock tic-tac-toe game in a bag that Mommy made and a cheap whoopee cushion. Not surprising but funny, that the whoopee got a lot of use that day. Not much but they still liked it and hopefully after a day of playing games and having fun together they know that Daddy and Mommy love them always.
