Valentine's Day Party

   K's school PTO called and asked if we'd be the parents that could do the Valentine's Day Party...of course we said yes! I'm thankful that my work schedule can be flexible enough that I have not missed any of K's school parties :) We decided to do an ice cream sundae party..and it was a HUGE hit. Mrs. C donated the ice cream and other parents donated the toppings. We added in the bowls,cups and whip cream along with juice and a craft. The kids had a ball making a cute idea K came up with. We cut hearts out of construction paper then glued small pompoms onto them. We let the kid's add one or two googly eyes. All the kids made a unique "heart monster" and had a ball.
     A great time was had looking at all the Valentine cards they got in their bags, eating ice cream and relaxing. Although I'm thinking Mrs. C wished the party was closer to go home time than noon lol
   We also always make sure K makes her teacher and her teacher's assistant a little something for the party. Teachers put in long hours to educate our children and often are overlooked at party time (except for Christmas). Everyone likes to feel appreciated!! This year we got some nice heavy mugs from the local Dollar Tree. We used tape to create a ripple effect on the border top and painted the mugs with chalkboard paint. We baked them for about 30 mins in the oven to set the paint. We filled the teacher's with King Size reese's and mini bars. The teacher's assistant mug had mini candy bars and some nice Russel Stover candies. They both loved them. We also dropped off heart cookies to the principle and the secretary.
