We have had a rough few weeks here with strep throat plaguing the family! Kaelin came down with it on February 5th followed by Hailey and I on February 13. The poor girls were so sick....with over 103 degree temps. It was so sad. However, we tried to make Valentine's fun for them.
Kaelin had a party at school on Monday that she had to decorate a "mail box" for. I wrapped it, and she did all the stickers - completely on her own.
She can't take candy into school, so we came up with another idea...thanks to Pinterest! We made rainbow heart shaped crayons. The girls helped me to peel the crayons and then I cut them up and melted them in silicone molds.
Kaelin also had a party with her cheer squad on Monday night. We made the butterfly suckers - also from Pinterest. She helped me with the 'googly' eyes and gluing the hearts on.
I made the pretzel buttons with hug candies (Pinterest again :)), and found the cookies a few weeks ago - the girls thought they were cool. This was their snack on Valentine's Day. Justin brought them home a little bouquet or roses and small chocolate box and 2 dresses each (which they both needed anyhow!). They both felt so special.
My sister sent the girls a package from the Popcorn Factory of heart cookies with frosting and decor. Ray helped the girls Wednesday to decorate them. Always fun especially for me, hehe, because Ray cleaned up afterwards!
