I Heart You

For a math exercise recently, Connor's class did a poll and graph. The topic: my classmates favorite holidays. They each had to ask all the other students for their choice, tally the results, and put it in a graph. No shock in the fact that Christmas was #1. But I was surprised to see that Valentine's Day was #2. Really, more than Halloween? But it was undeniable.



During that long snow week we tackled decorating a Valentine delivery box and writing out all of the classmates cards. Remarkably, Connor ground it all out in about 30 minutes with very little complaining. Yesterday was the big party and the kids had a blast. Again, I made 48 sugar cookie hearts for them to decorate and was glad to help the volunteer moms out.



Here's the box sitting out near my foyer Valentine's day display. That's Connor at age 2--one of my favorite pictures of him and I drag it out every year.
