Happy Valentine's Day

Today we sent Ry off to celebrate her first Valentine's day at Daycare.  Ry and I spent time this weekend prepping for her party at school.  Daddy though we were crazy with all we were doing, and maybe we were, but... (1) I am my mother's daughter, and she was just as "crazy" as I am with this stuff and (2) I feel like in some way I do all this because it gives me (another) reason to be happy she is in daycare so I CAN do fun things like this!

We made Crayons, from an idea found on pinterest.   Those fat fingers that need a big fat rock on them are Auntie Kacey's.  After my 3rd try making these I read a review that suggested dipping the crayons in water to help peel them.  So very much easier than how I had been previously doing it (slicing the wrapper with a knife), and also a lot more kid friendly, if you were doing the project with someone older than 6 months.


Next up was cake pops.  They didn't come out super round or have as pretty as the one's at Ry's friend Berkleigh's B-day party.  They were pretty tasty though, and I think I have figured out how to make them rounder next time.  Care Bears were the theme for the actual Valentine cards. 

And of course my sweet happy girl whom I had to wake up to take to day care today.
