School Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!  I hope you are all having a lovely day.  We have already had a very fun and full morning with Valentine's and Josh's birthday celebrations.  Holidays are so fun!  My boys are convinced that they should get the day off from their "stuff" (reading, homework, chores, piano practicing) in honor of the holiday.  It isn't likely  :)

I saw this idea last year from Family Fun Magazine, and was dying to do it.  I had also seen and fallen in love with this idea though and decided that, so I have been waiting a whole year to do this idea :).  I think it is so funny!  I bought some foam to try it out a few weeks back and let the boys see how they liked it.

 They thought it was pretty funny, the problem was however that the suckers I bought try it out with were ENORMOUS so they had a hard time closing their mouths around them. 

This was also the day that I took the pictures for my February header, and Palmer liked having a kiss mark on his cheek and didn't want to wash it off. 

They were pretty big suckers :)

I thought they turned out really fun.

I found the template for the lips and mustaches as well as the "Happy Valentine's" printable on this site.

I did this idea for our teachers last year and just thought it was so cute that I wanted to do it again.  This year all of the Valentine taffy had words on it, which wasn't my favorite, but I still liked how they turned out.

I really do love Valentine's Day.  It's always a good excuse to tell those around us how much we appreciate them.
