Valentines Day Party

Today at school Graham had a Valentines Day Party. The kids got to decorate 'mailboxes' with glitter (tons and tons of glitter on top of mountains of glue) so they would have a place to deliver their Valentines Day cards. I was having a hard time imagining each child willingly parting with the cards they brought from home, but they all did a great job. Graham looked so grown up walking from bag to bag dropping off his Winnie the Pooh cards (he picked them out all by himself at Target). He had even more fun when it was time to dump out his bag and look through the cards he received. Once home, lining up the cartoon character covered cards entertained him for a good part of the afternoon. It was so much fun to watch him take such pride in decorating his mailbox then examine each and every card over and over over. It made me remember how exciting it was to dig through my own bag of Valentines way back when I was in school, and it was hard not to relive that excitement right along with him!

All dressed up for the big party!

Glitter and glue...Graham decided he couldn't do his best work with his hat on, so as adorable as it looked, he took it off.
