Valentine's Tea

Please ignore the unironed tablecloth. (My mom is mortified already.) It was not the fanciest of set ups, to be sure, but we all had a great time!

The Straight-haired girl lovingly cut out peanut butter and jelly hearts for all her friends and arranged everything on fancy pink dishes. The Curly-headed girl made the cheese toasts and set the table with tea cups. Homemade Valentines were everywhere. (I think I even found one in my shoe.)

If it is all about the presentation, this may not have been five star dining. If it's all about the love, we're rich indeed.

Happy Hearts Day

Last summer, I painted a tree on the Straight-haired girl's wall. She absolutely loves it and wants to turn her entire room into the Big Woods. For Valentine's Day, I made up little red hearts from construction paper and wrote things I appreciate about her on them. Then, I taped them to the wall over the top of the leaves on the tree. She moved them all to her owls, right over her bed.

Red construction paper - $1.99, sharpie markers - $3.99, fillin' up the love tank - priceless.

Do You Speaka the Language?

Just 'cause it's Valentine's Day...
