Valentines day this year was a little different for us. We had to buy and prepare Valentines for A's class of 24. I don't remember what it was like for me in kindergarten (if we even did it back then) but i do know that all through my school years, i did not look forward to Valentines day, and that's because i was unpopular, i never got any Valentine's. But things have changes, and school's have realized that it's really no fun to be the kid that doesn't get any valentines, so they have every kid, bring a valentine for all the kids in class, which i think is pretty cool. I had A sign his name to every single one of his valentines, then i put them in a little bag and gave each kid, a pencil, a box of candy & a bookmark i made from a paint sample and ribbon. I got his teacher some heart shaped sticky note's and some Dove Chocolate (although after seeing what my teacher Friend Lisa got form her students, i will NEVER buy a teacher chocolate again, gift card all the way). I think A had fun at his party and both Eric and i were able to join him, which was super cool. Ro also gave out some valentines he did for his little buddy's at A's school. Which i thought was really sweet of him. He also signed his own name :-)
Eric and i exchanged cards and decided to leave the Valentines mushiness to the amateurs. We don't really celebrate, but we do get each other a little something. This year he got me a new Sims game that comes out in march, he also got me a forever rose, it sits in a vase, and when you push a button it opens and closes to reveal the saying I LOVE YOU, inside. Eric got magic cards from me.
It was a good, but basically normal day for us. Works for me.
