Happy Valentine's Day, friends! I love love love celebrating holidays with my babies. They are always so excited about every little thing that we "adults" often overlook. It's so fun to dress up and do holiday themed activities and then [drumroll] EXCHANGE VALENTINES AND EAT CANDY!!! If I had a nickel for every time today someone said "When are we gonna do valentines??" I would be able to afford a treadmill to burn off all the chocolate they gave me. See?

Each of the students brought in decorated shoeboxes and had a BLAST walking around the room and passing out their valentines. Then they spent another half hour reading every last note (and sampling the treats). One of the boys made homemade cards with personal messages to every child. It was so stinkin' sweet I about died.
So what did the kids get from me? Funny you should ask! I found
a fantastic blog post through Pinterest about candy-free valentines and gave them glow-stick bracelets! It led me to
this blog, which had printables already set up for you. All I had to do was buy glow-stick bracelets (15 for $1 at Target!) and cardstock to print out my valentines. Then I cut them up and signed each one. Boom! Quick and cheap, but my kiddos loved them!!

I "accidently" snapped like 6 glow-sticks while attaching the bracelet connectors.
Party time in the living room! |

| Done! |

Confession: This was just me practicing how to use my timer on my new camera.
Good news: it works! |
So that was my Valentine's Day! After seminar with my supervisor and fellow interns, I'm changing into sweatpants and ordering chinese with my momma while we watch girly tv. This is how Valentine's Day SHOULD be, ladies and gentlemen.
Teaching is lots of fun. I enjoyed the holidays with them especially Valentine's Day. We teachers always dressed for the holidays, and I have some of my "Teacher" holiday outfits for you.
