Valentines day was a lot of fun. The kids had a great day.

Valentines party

Today we went to the community center where they had a craft table where the kids could make valentines cards for soldiers and a few snacks and a bean bag toss game. Nothing to spectacular, but it was nice to get out and let the kids have some craft time and to see friends. This is samantha making a valentine. She put a lot of sticky's on them.

Pin idea.

I got this idea from pintrest. I just wrote the alphabet on the chalboard in the kitchen, gave her a bowl of water and a paint brush and had her trace them. She did really well and she had fun. Good times had by all.

In other news ethan read his first book the other day. He's been reading shirt ones from school but he normally gets stuck on a word o two, but two nights ago he said he was feeling confident and when we were taking turns reading that night he read us a book all on his own with no help from mom. Woohoo! I am so proud of him. He was so proud of himself too. :-)
