Valentine pre-school party

Today Natalie's preschool group met at my house and we had a Valentine's Day party. The kids were all really excited to bring Valentines and we had a lot of fun. We made Valentine baskets out of milk jugs (I needed 9 jugs. It only took about a week and a half to save up that many. We drink sooo much milk!), we graphed conversation hearts by color, decorated sugar cookies, played "pin the lips on the heart person" and passed out Valentines. They had a lot of fun and were excited to not be doing school-type stuff (because that's "boring" one kid told me) although I still snuck it in with the graphing. Which they enjoyed, by the way, and did a really great job at reading the graphs. So here are some pictures of Natalie after everyone left. You can see her Valentine box and she's decorating a sugar cookie for me.

Checking out her Valentines...

She wanted me to take a picture of her finished sugar cookies. Mine is the one on the right. Heaven knows I LOVE frosting, but I had to scrape some of that off when she wasn't looking. You can't tell from the picture, but that frosting is about 3 times as thick as the cookie itself.

How fun! Looks like a great party. Love the outfits on the next post--we'll be awaiting Kelton's hit album.

That is an awesome preschool day! I was in a little preschool/playgroup which started with seven kids, went down to four kids, and slowly died away. Good job with the graphing and all. Very fun.

Maddy had her party too and they did cookies. Looks like it was a hit.
