Making Valentines & school V-day party

 

 

Megan picked out Puppy & Kitten Valentine’s Day cards for her classmates this year.  She was so excited about them because they had tattoos that came with them. 

She told me that all of her classmates would love them because they were for boys & girls.  Meg makes me so happy when she thinks about the “group” as a whole.  Meg has a heart of gold and always thinks about other people. 

She has grown up so much this year.  Once a child who could be selfish and bratty, she is now a very selfless child. 

 

Meg and I sat down one afternoon after school so she could start working on her Valentine’s Day cards.  As she was signing all of them, she decided to also add a heart.  So sweet

 

 

 

Because of the snow day, Meg’s school party was postponed to Tuesday after Valentine’s Day.  Megan was so worried that there wasn’t going to be a party.  After I told her it would just be rescheduled, she seemed ok with it.  The postponement of the party actually worked to our advantage since Meg was sick on Friday.  She would have had to miss the party if it weren’t for the snow day.  Funny how things work out sometimes. 

The school party was a huge success.  All the children had a great time giving out their Valentine’s day cards to all of their classmates.  I’m so thankful that I’m the room mom.  I love to watch Meg interact with her classmates.  She’s as goofy as ever, but doing really well in school.   

I decided to take her home with me after the party.  The only thing she would miss was free choice time, so I didn’t see the harm.  Plus, she couldn’t WAIT to get home to look thru all of her Valentine’s that she received from her classmates. 

 

 

A Double Birthday Party

Meg was invited to Avery's and Addison's double birthday party last weekend. Their party was at a place in Cleburne called Jump-n-Apes. It's an inflatable bounce house party place. Meg had a wonderful time. She loves bounce houses and has NO fear. As soon as we walked in, she took her shoes off and was gone. This is the only place that I don't have to fight her about wearing socks.

She was in and out of every bounce house in the place. I didn't get many good pictures because the place was painted green like a jungle, so everything had a green tint to it.

The kids had a great time and were super sad when it was time to go.

Weekend kick off

To kick off our weekend, we helped Katelyn celebrate her 3rd birthday. The kids had a great time. There was a slip-n-slide, a baby pool, and a play house. The kids were running from point to point playing in everything they could. After dinner, the kids played pin the tail on the donkey, then took turns swinging at a Dora pinata.
