Signs of the V-Day.

It's looking a little like Valentine's Day around here. 

V Cards for school:
Even the preschoolers participate in the lovin' card exchange.
(Got the idea from her here from last year.)

Spencer did pretty much all of his.   I love it.

Kate did one with a bunch of stickers (computer stickers), like Spencer, but I saved the wrong one on my thumb drive to take to print.  She was so bummed when we got them back and her stickers weren't on her cards.  I felt so badly that I messed it up!

The sucker part is on the back of Jiles's.  It was Kate's idea to have the sucker sticking out of his mouth.  I think it is hilarious.



Valentine Advent/ Garland-ish Thing:
My sister-in-law and brother gave this to us for Christmas.  It comes all the way from Norway where they just moved from (they moved to Australia!).  It is supposed to be for Christmas, but I thought it would look great for Valentine's Day as well.  

I just hid days 15-25 behind the little Norwegian dude on the right and it's all good.

We put a note in each one for each person in our family.   We all have our own paper.  Mine are all purple, Kate's are green, etc.  So each day we get to read a nice thing from each family member. 

Some write cute things, like what Kate wrote for Weston in the picture below, and some draw very nice pictures, like the one the Ezra did.  It's fun to see what your going to read/see each day.

Random and Accidental Heart in the Shower Curtain:
It just so happened to make a heart shape when Weston flipped the shower curtain up and out of the way. 
I thought that it was cool.

And that is about the extent of Valentine's decor/prep around here.

However, I really wanted to do this:
I saw it here.
I wanted to do it with pictures of my family's faces, not of dear deer.  
I printed like 12 pictures for it, but then never finished (like 1000 other projects that I have started). 
Maybe I'll finish it tomorrow?
Maybe.
Or maybe I'll just wait until next year.
Or who says that hearts can only be for Valentine's Day?
Anyway,

hope ya all have a very
