My response to her was that I still secretly loved it, but didn't have an outlet to share it. For example, when I was in college, my roommates and I dressed in all black on Valentine's Day then made and handed out "I Hate Valentines." I still loved it.
I'm really sad that I didn't get more pictures of everything, but it was quite a crazy day.
I requested that Stephen not leave for work until 9am and then he was supposed to leave at 4pm.
I woke up at 5:45 am to heart attack Stephen's car. I covered the bottom half of his car in pink and red hearts. The back window I covered in those window sticker thingies. On his steering wheel I put red curls that you wrap gifts with. I also blew up a ton of red and pink balloons to cover his car. To top it all off I put his favorite Reese's Peanut Butter Hearts on his seat.
For breakfast we had egg toast, but special. I let Maycee use a little heart cookie cutter to cut out the hole in our bread and then added the egg. We also had a purple smoothie that we slurped with cute white straws decorated with little red hearts.
Stephen left promptly at 9 to find his second surprise at work. I was so proud of myself! On Thursday I secretly drove to Stephen's office and left him these cookies with his co-worker with instructions to have them on his desk when he got to work at 9:30am on Valentine's Day.
Yep, stole the idea from Pinterest. Love that thing.
That afternoon we had our Preschool Valentine's Day Party. We were supposed to bring Valentines for the other kids. Since there are only six kids in the group, I decided to make the Valentines rather than buy a package of 32. OR actually have Stephen draw the Valentines. Maycee got to pick what Stephen drew. At least she got to pick for the four girls. Stephen picked for the little boy. This is what he came up with.
Stephen is very talented. And he said he would never draw princesses. Maycee totally changed his mind.
I was really nervous for Maycee to take these pictures to preschool because she loved them so much. I wasn't sure if she would really be able to give them away. The night before she had decided who each princess went to, but I was still unsure. As Maycee ran into the Zwygart's house for the party, she yelled, "EVERYONE!! I HAVE A PICTURE FOR YOU! THEY ARE PRINCESSES!!!!" When it was time to give them out, she ran up and gave each picture to the person she had assigned them to. It was so cute.
Making Valentine's boxes.
Playing memory with kisses.
Making heart pizzas
Decorating cookies.
And Cooper with the ladies.
It was such a cute little party. I love preschool!!
When Stephen got home from work he made more pizza with a huge pepperoni heart. It was a darn good pizza. That is Stephen's specialty. I also made some fruit shiskabobs (I have no idea how to spell that and neither does my spell check.) cut out in little heart shapes.
Stephen got his final present before dinner. Another Pinterest gift. Again, love that thing.
Because I am a slacker parent I forgot to give my children their Valentines. And we didn't get to make our treat. SO we made it a Valentine's weekend and continues to do Valentine's Day until Sunday. On Saturday we gave the kids each a package of Starbursts and Maycee requested a picture of Mulan and she was granted her wish. Stephen did an awesome job. On Sunday we made these:
Mine didn't look this good, but since I didn't take pictures, we'll pretend they did. I just melted white chocolate, added some food coloring and sprinkles and we were good to go. Awesome marshmallow snacks. I could do this for every holiday with different sprinkles and colors!
