Valentines Day! Full of red, pink, hearts, hugs, parties, sweets . . lots of work for mommas! When did Valentines day become a week long chore ending in a day of hectic school parties, lush loving pancake breakfasts and taxi cabbing kids to their loving events??? I've got some handsome Valentines and lots of love, though, so who can complain!
The morning of . . sporting their Valentines boxes, 30 custom V-day cards EACH, girlfriend gifts (yes, I just said that!) and treats for classmates and parties.
Check out the hedgehog! Boy the oatmeal container v-day box idea has morphed from Jayden's shark in Kindergarten, to an Iguana, Alligator and now the hedgehog for Evan!
My boys are going to become Men who expect treats upon waking and Valentines strawberry pancake breakfast with love notes. . . sorry future wives of Pittsboys!
Oh, but then their sweetness comes out . . the week before (this boy doesn't wait til the last minute!) sweet Evan was coloring this card and picking out a box of chocolates for his sweetheart :)!
Jayden is "taken" this year (per his instagram status). I didn't get a pic of his stuff - but he showered his "love" with a cute cup filled with chocolates and Starbucks gift card (b/c she loves Starbucks). Future Pittsboys wives . . you can thank me later for teaching them the trick of thoughtful gifts! It's a lot of pressure being the Mom of 3 boys and making sure they treat their ladies, right! I could leave it up to Kerry . . but let's face it, although he's gotten pretty good at major holidays - it took us a while to get here :).
Mario, I mean Kyler - is single this year. I mean, really this is the first year Jayden has shown ANY interest - so it's no shocker that Kyler is more into the Valentines day games! Let's not be rushing into anything, anyway . . he's always got his momma :) (insert eye rolling from Kyler)
Kyler's vday party was full of games and lots of food he can't have - but I was on hand with options for my boy! He had a fun day . . and got to end it with a bunking party with friends!
Even though Evan claims to have a sweetheart. . . I'm pretty sure I still have his heart, too! He's my baby after all!
Ice cream sundaes and pictures with friends!
Can you tell we gave out the "Have a Fan-tache-tic V-day" cards again?! Always a crowd fav!
No pics of Jayden's festivities - no parties in middle school :(. He did however have a karaoke night at the school that we dropped him off at while me, Kerry and Evan went out to dinner before picking him back up.(Kyler was already at his bunking party). Did I mention that Dad was in the midst of prepping my crazy Valentines Day grand central station- house for listing?!! I am lovin' all this love . . but kinda glad this crazy day is in the books!
