Valentine's Day 2012-Party!

Just because we don't go to traditional school does NOT mean that we can't have a party with our friends!!  We, Posey's, are all about throwing a good party!  So for Valentine's Day we invited some friends to come and share in the fun!

Paigey helped with decorations~her assignment was to count 100 conversations hearts into the vase.  (Once she reached 100, I let her pour in the rest of the bag!)







Paigey also finished up a Post Office Unit this week. She learned all about the mail system-
how it got started, how to write and address a letter, where the mail goes, why we need stamps, how the post office works, etc.  Part of her project was to make her own mail box! (PINK, of course!)


 Our party included decorating Valentine heart cookies~ made by my dear friend Lori, who has moved here from Texas!  The kids and I are going to take cooking lessons from her VERY soon and in the mean time, we just thoroughly enjoy all the yummy treats she spoils us with!!



 We played a game of "picking up Conversation Hearts with Chopsticks" 

  
We decorated our Valentine mailboxes

 Paigey received her very own special Valentine from Daddy...
a sweet card and a beautiful pot of flowers!
(Oh, my word, when she discovered they were her VERY own she was beside herself, giddy with excitement.  Daddy's just have a way, don't they!?)
