Another long weekend

Sarah has Monday off, it is Presidents Day, so no schools. I feel I will be OK with the project, so maybe I can take the weekend off and clean up the house a little. Maybe get out a bit, it is kind of boring just sitting here typing all day long. Good I have the dogs, at least then I get to go for walks every day!

Sarah is having a big Valentine's Party in school today, followed by an ice cream party. Apparently only kids who has been following the rules are allowed to attend the ice cream party. Sarah was sounding kind of happy knowing that the boy who used to be really mean to her, is not attending. He did not follow the rules. Sounds kind of tough on the 5-6 years old! But I guess they have to learn to listen sooner or later...

All the kids made heart shaped mailboxes with their names on them, and all had in homework to create Valentine Day cards for each of their classmates. This is a BIG industry in America! There are tons pf packages aimed just at school children. They usually contain just enough cards for an entire class, and the kids can choose their favorite characters. We got these a few years ago, I almost forgot I had the package tucked away in a cabinet until I saw the homework assignment.

Sarah's Valentine Day cards, with some of the leftover candy in front

Sarah wrote her name on the cards (inside the envelopes), and each kid's name on the outsides. For the teacher she got a chocolate apple, we thought that was kind of cute. We attached little packages of Sweethearts, those iconic little candy hearts with messages on them.

She should have a fun day in school today!
