Yesterday we set up our February calendar and talked all about the month and the holidays in it. Aidman noticed that we had not decorated yet for Valentines Day and decided that we needed to make wreaths (they LOVE making wreaths for their bedroom doors), so we got to work and making our home look lovely!
Last year after Valentines Day I bought a bunch of heart foamies on clearance and they came in very handy!
I made this wreath, which I happen to like the least of them all. I should have just had the kids made it for me.
AB was very proud of her work!
I love how Aidman always wants to get close to his art when I take a picture.
Here is Lyssy's on her door, how pretty!
Then we decided to make a banner. I put a bunch of foam hearts on the craft table for them to color with markers. I figured it would take a couple days for them to do all 18 hearts. Boy, was I wrong! Come to find out, coloring on foam is SUPER FUN! They all sat there and colored all 18 hearts in one sitting!
I then wrote the letters on, hole punched, and tied them together.
Anyone coming to our house knows that kiddos live here!
We are still planning on making pretty suncatchers for our kitchen windows, but that will be another day.
All of these ideas were found via The Crafty Crow. They were so cute that I just had to share! Aidman, Lyssy, AB, and I all worked very hard to make all of these Valentines for our friends. 
Lyssy gave the heart crayons to friends.
AB gave the cherry Koolaid playdough to friends.
We also used liquid watercolor (I LOVE this stuff!) to paint hearts.
We wish you a LOVEly Valentines!

We FINALLY started making some Valentine cards today! With the party and the travelling, there was just no time until now. I put pretty much all the craft supplies I brought with me on the table and we started creating! I thought they would really like the conversation heart foamies to put on the cards, but they really could have cared less about them today (they'll love them tomorrow!). Both kiddos were really into the buttons, so we glued a giant heart on the paper and put buttons on the glue. It turned out very cute! So of course, I HAD to just one of my favorite sayings on the inside of the card!!
