Class Valentine's Parties

Yesterday, we had class parties at the school and boy what a day! First, Austin's party was at 9:45 and the teacher brought in a treasure chest of boys and girls dress up clothes. Austin dressed like Superman and then it was time to do the chicken dance and other dances. The little pre-k kids had such a fun time and then it was time to pass out Valentines cards. The teacher had all of the kids make the Valentines' in class, which was awesome. On little paper hearts, each kid had wrote their name and dropped a heart in each paper sack for each child.



After the Valentines' were passed out, it was time for eating sweets. The kids were really good and finished with their plates, took off their dress up clothes, got their backpacks and were ready to go. It was really fun.

After I took Austin home, around 10:30, I went back to the school to have lunch with Danny at the cafeteria, because I promised I would. He really enjoyed having me come in and sit with him. Then, around 12:30pm, I went back to the school for Danny's Valentines' party. They brought all the kids in and had them do "Musical Hearts" (kind of like a cake walk but with hearts instead of numbers). The kids who got out, there was usually two at a time, would go and start their ice cream sundae with all the toppings. Danny never gave up and in the end, it was between him and Sierra who were trying to make it to the last heart. When the music stopped, I hate to say, there was some pushing from both Danny and Sierra to be on that heart but in the end, they both gave up and went to make their sundaes as well.



The kids went to their work tables and their Valentine's boxes were waiting for them. Once they were done with their ice cream sundaes, they got to open their Valentines. It was so neat to see all the little smiling faces. Danny didn't want to leave at the end but I told him that I couldn't leave him for an hour and come back as I had been at the school all day long and I know it was selfish, but I just couldn't do it. In the end he agreed and him and Austin had a fun time sharing their Valentines with each other. It was a nice day.
