weeks. I gave Jackson and Aubrin many options that they could do for their Valentine's. They both decided to peel crayons and melt them into the shape of hearts. So cute, but a lot more work than I thought it would be. I told the kids that they needed to be a part of it, so we peeled crayons for DAYS!!! Then I decided to make them for my class as well. That added on many more DAYS of peeling. They turned out very cute. Jackson signed his quickly, but it took my little lovely a few days to sign all 20 of hers. We broke it up into a few days so she didn't get frustrated.
I laugh because I couldn't find a Valentine's Day shirt for Jackson to wear that was what I think is appropriate for a five year old to wear. So I had one made for him. Then Jackson comes home and tells me it's pajama day at school. Of course it would be after I spent how long searching for a shirt? So I made it work and found PJ pants to match his shirt.
On Valentine's Day we woke up early and had a yummy love day breakfast.Jackson was excited for the day. It was a big day in kindergarten. Not only was it his valentines party, but it was also his 100th day of school. Parents weren't invited in, but Jackson tells us it was a great day.
Aubrin was excited to go to her Happy Hearts party. Todd and I couldn't go, so she took grandma with her. They had fun doing crafts and eating treats. Aubrin was so excited to hand out her Valentine's. She was also excited to receive.That night at dinner we were talking about their day. Jackson said that he had a surprise for Aubrin. He had decorated a cookie for her at school and brought it home for her. Aubrin said, "I have something for you too!" She also decorated a cookie for Jackson at school and brought it home for him. I love that they think about each other when they are not together. Of course 5 minutes later they were dragging each other across the floor, but for that brief moment I love the thoughtfulness that they shared with each other.
