Sarah make 22 Valentines for her preschool. I hate crafts. I was fine with buying whatever cards the local store sold and pass them out with their generic "be mine" lovies. However, not Sarah. When she first declared that she wanted to make them, I said "No, we'll just buy them". She looked shocked. Appauled. In her little four year old heart, the store bought ones were not good enough. So I felt horrible for the suggestion, went out to buy construction paper (I don't even know where they sell it- thanks Five Below for coming through!), glue, and hearts and she got busy. Like really busy. After each heart got glue she'd ask "Mommy, is this enough glue?". Then she got busy writing her name and making a smiling sun in each one. My job was to tape a lollipup in each one after. I admit, it was really sweet that she did it. She kept saying how much everyone would like them. Then she decided that her friends at school like hearts and so she went to work making hearts. It was all so sweet. Marco even made her a valentine and she was thrilled.
Marco is turning three this week! I can't believe it! Really what I can't believe even more is that he has been potty trained. And as of last week, no diapers in the night either! woo hoo!! Tomorrow is his family little party. Like really there is only a few of us, but I don't care- I really went out of my way to make it special. I called every bakery and finally ordered a football shaped cake from the Priory. Then I searched hi and lo at every store I could think of to find his beloved football guy topper to put on, as he has wanted a guy on top of his cake sooo bad. Then I found a dinosaur pinata. But what the heck do you put in it when you don't let your kids eat crap? I am exited to see his face for it all.
