Remnants of our Valentine's Party!!


I do so love preschool parties!!! The kiddos come in with bright shiny faces - waiting for the fun to come!!! I only have a couple of kiddos on Friday's (which is nice BTW) so we did it today when most everyone was here!!

We do the classic exchange of valentines- which they all loooove!! Me too!!! Today we made cookies as a group - always a messy, sweet affair(lots of tasting going on - no eggs)...... chocolate chip/M&M cookies....mmmmmmm! Once cooled they are smeared with frosting - as are most of the kiddos by the time they are done. We break out the baby wipes - which causes squirmy bottoms as faces are washed off. Then it's on to our art project - I adore foamies that stick!!! Stories read and cups of milk emptied - it's off to play in stations (toys, computer, listening & reading center, art center, puzzles and manipulative's). So here are a few pics - they though it was silly of me to take pictures of their backs - but I don't post pics of them on line. They stood like statues so we could share our projects, cookies & bags with you!!

There was some serious giggling going on in between snaps!!

So.... Happy Valentine's everyone - from the Cottage Garden Preschool!!!

The party looks fabulous. I am so jealous you have all those little kids there. Lucky duck.

I have always wanted to be someone's Muse so instead of crediting me, just say I was your inspiration. ha ha.

Love Renee

Oh, that looks like the BEST day! I can't tell from your blog who had the better time - you or the kiddos! It looks like an absolutely wonderful day. And what a thoughtful woman you are to have the children stand with their backs to the camera. I am not sure I would have thought to do that.
Did the cookies taste as good as they look?

Thanks,

Sarah: Please do not let the candle burn at both ends. You need to take it easy. I hope you don't come down with what the kids had last weekend.

Love Renee xoxoxo

Sending you energizing energy.

Sarah how fun to have a car directly at your disposal. Make sure to take a JOY ride.

Today is one of my nieces wedding. I don't even know if I have ever danced with Wahid on valentines before, but I will tonight. Hopefully have enough drinks to be out of pain too. xoxoxo

Love Renee

Morning Sarah:

The wedding was wonderful and had a great time.

She had pink cakes on every table with a black satin ribbon around the bottom of each one. Very pretty.

How were the wheels?

Love Renee
