Another First
NONE, NOTTA, ZILCH
We made NO Valentine Day cards for school this year.
YIPPPPEEE!
I asked Wyatt if he needed to make Valentine cards for school. He told me he was not having a party and could bring Valentine's if he wanted to, but he didn't want to. I am not about forcing the issue on this one since I don't think Valentine day is a school holiday anyways. I love having older kids for many reasons but getting over making 30 Valentines is my new favorite reason.
This is Wyatt this morning leaving for school with no hearts in his pockets.
LOVE IT!
For those parents who still need easy Valentine ideas for school and hate hearing their kids cry about writing their names 30 times. My tip is print out labels with their names on them and have your kids stick them to airhead candies (Costco) or any other candy you want to buy, but Airheads are cheap. Your kids will love doing stickers and they will not cry about writing their name over and over and over and over AND OVER.

No party?? Not that I'm complaining, just weird. I guess that's the public school for you, again not really complaining. I agree that it's certainly not what it used to be. Now it's all about getting CANDY!
I got the valentines with the cute Cars and Tinkerbell pencils and my kids were like "NO CANDY?", and I said you will be unique and that didnt seem to satsify but the mom's will be happy!
How nice you didn't have to do the cards!! and that's a great idea with the stickers. We'll have to do that next year. All my kids have RSV so they didn't go to school, they've been home sick for like three days now and no end in sight. We did still have to drop off the cookies that I'd signed up for in Dana's class and she had her cards ready and so I dropped them off too.
Now you tell me!! Great idea...I will definitely do that next year!!! Congrats on not having to do any....I was driving around like a crazy lady in the rain dropping things off at preschool and elementary....I'm exhausted!
good idea, thanks Heather. I just read it a little too late for this year! I am glad you are just fine and happy with no valentines and not sad like I may be...but then again, maybe not!
smart lady!
