Pre-Valentine Fun

We've been having some pre-Valentine fun around here.  By the way, Cyrena started preschool last week. She's going to a local at-home preschool and loving it so far.  She's such a social girl and it's been a little hard on her just being at home with her sisters all the time.  This is something that's just hers and it is fantastic! 

We matched up some foam hearts that had things to match up like letter, numbers, etc.  We have done other learning activities but I didn't take pictures...oops.

For FHE we made Valentine mailboxes


Yesterday the girls made 'love bugs'  They are so cute and they each did a great job!  I found the pattern here.  After they made these, we had some people in the ward over for a Valentine potluck lunch.  I pretty much didn't see the girls for over 2 hours since they were so busy playing with kids, and Anna slept the entire time so I was free to socialize!

Getting sticker backs off is great fine motor work!  She has just recently been able to start doing this!

This morning we put together Cyrena's Valentine's for her preschool party.  Everyone got a tootsie roll, 2 airheads, and a yo-yo.  Natalie saw candy and ran for the scissors to try and open some...she's a handful. 

Here is my beautiful girl ready to go to her party!

Then she wanted to take pictures of Natalie and I...a little fuzzy but cute.

How nice that you got a chance to socialize!
I had a dream about you last night. I was at church and realized I forgot to plan anything for primary (I guess these are my nightmares now) so I ran to the YW room where you were and asked you for ideas. Even in my dreams you're my go-to girl for ideas. (And always in YW):)

Love that holidays for all the fun simple things you can do with the kids. Love Cyrena's hair - so cute! I know preschool for both of my kids has been the best thing and it helps to have something their own!

Hmmm... wonder where Cyrena got her socializing trait from??!!
