Valentines Ready

For my sweetheart I made this:

Thanks Ann Taylor for the cool box! This year Mike and I are giving each other shoes. He needs new running shoes and every Valentine's Day he gives me a gift card to Foot Zone for a free pair of shoes--any pair in the store! (He gets the gift card for being a PT and refering patients there.) I've got a nice Dansko collection going.

Anyway, I couldn't just say, yeah get yourself some shoes. So I made him a candy gram. I started giving him candy grams way back when he was in Portugal on a mission and now it's sort of a tradition. Did you know they make a candy called Twerps?

I host a monthly play group at the church. This month Luke and I made these to share with them:



I've seen them on several blogs the last few weeks. They are waffle pretzels, Kisses or Hugs melted and then a Valentine's M&M on top. Super easy to make and Luke had a great time helping.

For our craft we made these:


Each little participant got to decorate their own paper their own style and then their mommy helped them fold them into boxes, fill them with Hugs and Kisses and tie the bow on them.



It was a lot of fun! Happy Valentine's Day!

I want to come to your fun play groups! Happy Valentine's Day!! I got Adam a puzzle of our most recent family picture. It will give us something to do together and when it's done we can glue it and hang it in his office. I also got him a back massager!

Great ideas!
The pretzel things look awesome but so easy to make.
I would love to see what the candy gram said.
