Valentine's Day

I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day. Mainly because Hubs birthday is the day before and I would rather focus the attention towards that. Also I think Valentine's day is just a marketing/merchandising scam to get poor sad husbands/boyfriends to buy their women gobs of unnecessary chocolate that she will later be regretful for eating. And in turn resent him for buying it. Therefore I say boycott this ridiculous holiday... unless you are under the age of 10.

I have to admit kids are so cute at Valentine's day. I have always enjoyed buying my kids a little something. I don't make a big deal out of it like Easter but it is just a little something to let them know they are my special little valentine. And of course they get all into it because they get to take valentines to their classmates and teachers. We spent about an hour last night making their teachers' v-day gifts. I found some great little crafts on makelearningfun.com. They turned out really cute. We made a total of 4 since each kid has 2 teachers. Hopefully they will be something the teachers will appreciate since the kids made them. I know as a teacher I always appreciated the little handmade notes and cards kids made me. And of course to give each teacher their needed chocolate fix we attached them to a bag of truffles.

We will spend tomorrow night fixing up the 44 valentines for their classmates!!! Too bad they both don't know how to write their names. Bubby does but don't think he has the stamina to write it 22 times in a small confined space.

So to all you sappy love hungry valentine's day lovers...Happy Valentine's Day!!
