Valentine's Day had a new element this year, which was handing out Valentine's in school. Giving Valentines isn't the same as when I was a kid, you must give one to every person in your class, a much better system in my opinion. Vaughn had the job of writing his name and his classmates names on each card. He did a great with only a little whining. He was sick the day they handed out the class list in school and since I don't know the names of all his classmates we ended up with just 3 days to get them done. But he stuck at it and took the job of picking the right card for each of his friends very seriously.
I'm also learning that every holiday, special day equals excessive amounts of sugar. I couldn't believe what he came home from school with! Am I the only parent out there that doesn't appreciate their kid coming home with a bag full of candy!
Valentine's day equaled heart shaped toast, cards and pizza for supper. Supper with my family that I didn't have to cook sounds like a pretty perfect day to me :)
