What a fun Valentine's Day we had! The day started with the table all set for the boy's and biggest boy (hubby's) surprises! I always loved when I woke up to see my Mom had left a little Valentine treat at our plates for Valentine's Day. The boys awoke to 2 chocolates and these little wooden Yetis from Mamaroots etsy shop. Monsters for my monsters, thank you Mamaroots! My darling husband gave me a card, truffles and a sweet necklace that Michael picked out for me. Oh my heart!
We had heart shaped pancakes for breakfast. I made a little rainbow heart color matching game for Owen. He liked it very much. Michael and I also loved using them later on in Math.
We had an impromtu Valentine story about a powerful fire, made of love & light that never goes out, is constant and is never destructive and how all the creatures, man & animal are drawn to the warmth of this great fire. I didn't realize until a couple of minutes into the story that I was relating this great fire to divine Love. I am beginning to love storytelling and the magic that happens there.
We had a make your own pizza day using English muffins. After lunch we made Valentine cards for loved ones, something we neglected to do until today!
Yes, a fun day! How was your Valentine's Day?
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteThe wooden hearts are so delightful. Love the idea and how they came out.

Oh what a sweet day!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day. My mom always used to have little Valentine's surprises too. Nothing much, but always so fun just the same.
ReplyDeleteI do like your idea of Love being a fire that cannot be quenched and draws all living creatures to its warmth. I think my littles will hear a similar story soon. (Hmmm that would be a good one to tell around a campfire, too.) Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteThe little Valentine's Day monsters are cracking me up!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Waldorf Wednesday. Hope to see you back this week!
