I love Valentine's Day. For me, it's not about the flowers or the chocolate, but I love the handmade spirit this simple holiday inspires. It's especially fun with little ones and gives us a great excuse to roll up our sleeves and get messy crafting all in the name of making someone a Valentine's card. Plus, I get to be a kid again too enjoying these fun projects. Last year Mc and I made a couple of onesie's and a taggie for him to chew on. My how he's grown! Gone are those days when I could plop him down on a blanket with some toys so I could sew. Now we enjoy doing activities that are a little more interactive.
Here we are enjoying Valentine's 2012.
We did this heart stamp finger paint project to design a Valentine for Daddy.
Of course, paint got in places paint's not supposed to go.
And then we made a few more of these neat heart-shaped crayons for all of Mc's Kindermusik classmates.

Then Mc had to do a quick change into his Presbyterian College attire so we could enjoy our family Valentine's date: the PC vs. Winthrop basketball game.
Go Blue Hose!
And check out the score at the end of the game! Our little Alma Mata beat the Eagles by 3 points! What fun!
We can't wait to celebrate this special holiday with Baby #2 next year!
