Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day as a kid was so exciting. I'm living vicariously through my child.

Brode made Starburt (not Starburst in his language) valentine's for all of his friends in his class and his two teachers. I wrote the friends names on, Brode signed his name (and I may have clearly wrote it underneath) then we attached a pack of starbursts. He also brought cupcakes with red, pink, and white frosting with heart rings in the top for his class party.

When we walked in this morning all the kids were wearing red or pink (of course Brode's red was his Wisconsin Badger hockey jersey) and they were already bouncing off the walls. All the kids came running and yelling "we are having a party!" and Brode had to be mr cool man saying, "yeah, I brought cupcakes AND starburts". This afternoon they were having a full lunch party, cupcakes for dessert, then handing out their valentines to all of their friend's bags.

I really wish I could have stayed all day and played and taken pictures. Sigh.

We also made Valentine's for both sets of grandparents. Brode wanted to keep going and make 1,000 more he loved them. He named every random person he could think of and insisted they needed a fingerpainted Valentine!
