Valentine's Day

I put together a little Valentine treasure hunt Saturday for the girls.
It's very reminiscent of what my mother used to do for us on Valentine's Day,
and Easter, and any other holiday that involved candy :)
This is their success in finding their treaure.




The beginning of their search - this was actually a good spot to check
as they routinely like to hide here from me :)

Valentine notes via conversation hearts!


all their loot - the dollar store rocks again!

Yay! A new blog! I really enjoyed the post about Brent's Grandma. She seems like a great lady. And what a great mom you are with your scavenger hunt! I love the conversation heart letters--so cute! Happy (late) Valentine's Day! Did you and Brent get to do anything fun?

I know - facebook is keeping me from updating my blog more frequently :)
I got the scavenger hunt Valentine idea from my fave TLC show Jon & Kate plus 8 - she made a big tub of dollar store fun stuff for her kids for V-Day.
Brent and I went to Las Vegas for 2 days the previous weekend to get away - fun to just be together :)
Hope your nesting list is getting smaller!
Love ya

I tried watching Jon and Kate + 8 once and it made me stressed out! :) But, it was on one of those days where I was really tired and the thought of one more child seemed daunting--let alone 7 more children!! Glad you guys had a fun trip to Vegas! And, I agree that Facebook is very addicting.
