For their class parties, Evan picked this cute Oreo kit I found on Amazon. It came with a two-pack of Oreos and an Oreo candy to put in these small square boxes for each kid. It also included a full package of Valentine Oreos that he could give to his teacher. We spent an afternoon making the boxes and stuffing them.
Sean wanted to do Pokemon cards as his gift. I printed off some free tags that were on the internet, laminated them, and we attached them to a bag that had 2 Pokemon cards and a couple of Starburst candies inside. It was quite the labor of love cutting those tags out and laminating them, but he loved it.
They each had small class parties, that of course I couldn't attend. They exchanged Valentine's, had a few snacks, and did a few crafts. I was glad that I didn't pull them out of school for the flight to Tucson. They would have hated missing the party! They rushed home and opened their bags of goodies on the living room floor before we left for the airport.
Since we were leaving on Valentine's Day for the airport and the boys didn't get to see Scott that afternoon before we left, we did our Valentine's dinner the night before. Normally I make or buy heart shaped pizza, but this year I found the cutest heart shaped pasta at Aldi's. I made the pasta and a salad for dinner and for dessert we did our chocolate fondue with strawberries, apples, marshmallows and other treats. Yum!
I had my nails all decked out, a homemade cookie from a parent at work, and handwritten cards from the boys. I enjoyed all our Valentine's Day traditions this year!
