I think my favorite part of today was listening to Addie wish everyone a Happy Balentine's Day, talk about her Balentine's Day party at school, and to see how excited she was about all the Balentines she received. I doubt next year will be Balentine's Day, so I'm enjoying it while I can.
The last two years, we have put a lot of time and effort into the girls' Valentines for school. Two years ago, we did the iPod Valentines. Last year, we upped the ante with the iPhone Valentines. This year, I had no time or energy for anything complicated. I needed cheap, easy, and quick. Hello Pinterest! I found these great glow stick valentines on the Teacher Wife Blog complete with a free printable. Bingo! Glow bracelets are 15 for a dollar in Target's Dollar Spot. For six bucks, I got enough for all three kids classes.
I hope Addison's friends enjoyed their Balentines from Abbison and Appison!
For the first time ever, I decided to attempt heart hairdos. I have always admired these but never actually attempted them.
Elise's hair is short enough that there weren't a lot of options. I went with this little side heart. I think it has potential, but I definitely need more practice. She liked it, but apparently she took it out on the bus on the way to school when Nina told her it looked ugly. Gotta love little sisters.
For Addie, I went with the braided heart. It turned out OK, but her hair wasn't quite long enough to really do it properly.
Nina's hair is the longest, and I think hers definitely turned out the best. Fun, huh?
I hope all of you had a wonderful Balentine's Day!
