Valentines

Happy Valentines Day!!!

That being said, it was a bittersweet day for me. Today was my last day at work. It was a surreal two weeks and I don't think it has even still all settled in. Goodbyes are terribly awkward for me!

I spent the evening after dinner last night making valentines for the kids to take to school and I am proud  to say that I did NOT use Pinterest for inspiration!!

Here is a sample of the teacher's valentines:

And here are the ones for the Kindergartners:

And last, here are the Valentines for the 3 year olds:

When I arrived home tonight after work, I was going through the kids' bags and I am so surprised at all of the crap stuff that parents feel compelled to send for kids. When I was a kid, you got the normal, character cards and you were lucky if it came with stickers, a tattoo or a pencil. Sometimes, there was even candy involved! Now, there are little bags FULL of candy and junky toys. As you can see by the pictures, I still try to keep it simple, but my goodness! It's INSANE!!!

Tomorrow is the hubby's birthday and we have a busy day ahead. Hopefully, I'll take some pictures. I also hope to get a workout in tomorrow!
