Happy Valentine's Day

We are ready for Valentine's Day fun at school! 

 Izzy has wanted for awhile to eat at a fancy restaurant.  However, I have informed her that she needs to practice etiquette before we go.  This prompted John to make plans for a fancy dinner for Valentine's Day.  None of us were prepared for how elaborate this fancy dinner would be....

Welcome to "Chez Izzy"!  John created an 8 course meal for us including horderves in the parlor, sorbet to cleanse our palate between courses, white & red 'wine' and a sweets / dessert plate.  Everyone dresses up including John.  He actually owns this red tuxedo.  Unbeknownst to him, Izzy had made a bowtie out of bubble wrap that day for fun.  She had no idea how useful it would be to complete his ensemble.

 Micah sporting his tie... his version of dressing up.

 Of course Victoria knew how to dress up!

Valentine's Day Fun

 Valentine's Day is a time to get our creative on!  We came up with another way to use John's pompom maker - heart shaped pompoms.  These pompoms were transformed into cupid hearts for Izzy to hand out to her friends at school.

Putting together Micah & Victoria's valentine's for school.

Izzy wanted a heart shaped braid after flipping through a new braid & bun book.  Not too bad for my first attempt.

Heart shaped school snacks for the munchkins.

Micah and Victoria's school asked that we send valentine's in their lunch bags for the week before valentine's day.  Their teachers read them out loud and then made a collage out of them for all to see / read.
