Love is what makes the ride worthwhile...which is definitely true in our home!
The Clayton Crew is enjoying our adventure of life together and what a great way to celebrate the love than a day full of heart fun! I treated each of my loves to a special setting for breakfast before Dad had to leave for the day...
The others read: I wheelie like you, You make my heart race, and I like how you roll :)...
With our house 3/4 packed up, it made setting up pretty interesting this year. It may not have been the cutest display, but what we lacked in cute we made up for in fun! We started off with a delicious breakfast of Nutella French Toast Sandwiches, bacon, and strawberries...
followed by an entire morning of Valentine's activities. The kids enjoyed sorting heart shaped pasta...
Kason is used to all our games and activities, but Zoe is still tickled to get to finally participate in a few with big brother!
I had Daniel write secret messages on hearts the night before and let Kason watercolor them...
He was so geeked up to find Dad's love notes to him, Zoe, and Max :)...
One of Kason's favorite games was cupid's arrow where he had to shoot a q-tip out of a straw into a bucket...
as you can see, Zoe just had too much fun placing them in their all on her own. Another activity the kids enjoyed was trying to pick up conversation hearts with chopsticks and place them in the container...
Well, little lady was a bit more interested in eating all of them rather than transferring them :)! Of course Mr. Max hung out with us all morning even though he couldn't physically participate...
although he did love watching Kason and Zoe from his stander. I made sure he could help me with the last activity, making stained glass hearts...
I tore off the pieces of tissue paper and barely touched it to the heart, then used his hand to press it down...oh how he loved it! He just smiled and did his noise/gesture for more! Before we finished, I helped the kids make Valentine's for the grandparents using their thumbprints...
and cookies for dad and Derek at the bike shop.
We even took them up there at lunch to say hi since we were missing him.
While Daniel and I may not celebrate this holiday together, we can't help but spoil our three loves! Being their parents is the best gift of all and we truly believe that together we will go far on love...and bicycles ;)!
