Today was Emaline's Valentine's party at her school and I got to take part by bringing snack (apple slices and chocolate cupcakes!) and helping out with games and activities. It is always so much fun to see her and the other kids interacting with each other. The parties are always about an hour long and the kids get to make a craft, read a story and play a game before singing a song, or in this case exchanging valentines. She got to decorate a handled bag with stickers and markers to hold her valentines, then one of the other mothers read "How do Dinosaurs Say I Love You?" by Jane Yolen, which is such a cute book! Then she got to play pin the arrow on the heart and that was pretty funny watching all the kids "closing" their eyes (which they really were just squinting so they could see the heart). Finally everyone sat in a circle and each child stood up and put valentines into all the bags. It was pretty cute and the kids had a great time which is all that matters.
