Valentine's Dance

Last night was the Valentine's Dance at the Jr. High.



The theme was Romance in the Orient.



I'm not really sure how much romance there is in the Jr. High cafeteria with the lights on. But, hey, I'm good with lack of romance at school dances.


Only Addison and Abigail decided to go.

(Abigail isn't really taller than Addison,

she just wouldn't quit standing on her toes.)

I must say that when I went to pick them up and got a glimpse of what other girls were wearing, mine looked like Quakers. Wow!! That's really all I can say.


By the way, I'm holding onto all the other attempts at getting a decent picture just in case I need to black mail either of these two children at a later date.

It's always good to have a back up plan, you know.

Be My Valentine?

The kids made these Thursday night to hand out at their class parties on Friday.

I would like to take credit for this idea but I got it from Erin. 

Aren't they hysterical?

I just love them!!

Believe it or not, Abigail wasn't sure about taking them. On Friday morning I finally told her that she had 10 minutes until time to leave and if she was taking the other kind ( I had bought the traditional kind just in case these didn't turn out) she better have them done by time to leave. (Mean, I know.)

She finally decided to just stick with these. Luckily they were a hit with the kids and teachers too.

Where does she get this.....

Some of the classes at school are having Valentine box decorating contests. Abigail decorated her box like a monkey. You put the valentine's in the opening in the heart.




Addison decided to make a bunny out of her box. She was busily working on it the other night for quite some time. Then she came to me with her completed project, beaming with pride.

Here it is....



What's that? Where do the valentine's go? you ask. Well, here of course....



Yes, right there under his fluffy little cotton tail!!
