a sweetie kind of day

Okay, I'll admit it. I secretly kind of like Valentines day. Yes, it is super cheezy, yes it is made to be way more then it should, yes card companies and flower shops make a ridiculous amount of money for this day (of course, my mom is a florist, so I can't complain too much! A GREAT day for her :)... but it is such a sweetie pie kind of day for me here! I love making it fun and having fun with it all. From heart shaped pancakes and pink frosted cookies all the way to handmade heart cards and paper decorations hanging in my house. It's just a fun day! If anything, I love to use it as a day to make my own sweeties feel extra special and create a little groundwork for my future men. After all, my boy's wives will thank me someday when I have raised these future men to know that Valentines Day really shouldn't go ignored :)

We do a handful of just simple fun things... having kids on this day is way better then waiting around for some boy to make it special for you. I think Valentines Day should be a kid only holiday :) 

 Fun heart activities...

 Fun lunches...
 Fun valentine deliveries...

 Fun breakfasts... (like who doesn't love heart shaped pancakes with pink sprinkles!!)

 Fun friends...

 One of my personal favorite sweetie pies...

 What your kitchen will look like after making it the "fun zone planning & prepping area"...

 Fun scavenger hunt...(Our yearly tradition. They have to go on a scavenger hunt to find some fun prizes)

 Jaxon's this year...football sticker book and packs of football cards.

 Austin's prize... Car racing hat & t-shirt and a clearanced down train engine house.

And the best Valentine's Day gift... 3 handsome boys to end my day with!
