Valentine's Day and Good-byes

 Our co-op fell on Valentine's Day this year so we spent the day doing various Valentine's crafts and activities.

Like sorting and graphing candy hearts.

And making sun catchers by drawing on paper with baby oil.

Then the kids all handed out their Valentine cards to each other

This was also our last day with our friends...we were moving the next day...

They surprised us with this picture- the kids had made their hand prints at the co-op the week before but I hadn't known what they were for. I love it and know perfect spot for it on the wall of our new school room.

We loaded up the moving truck on Wednesday- so now we are in a sea of boxes, trying to get everything set up. We have been blessed with beautiful weather- 60s on moving day and today and yesterday. So we have been trying to finish up the goats' shed before the colder air and rain moves in. We still have to go back for a couple of our cats and our chickens, as well as a few more boxes, but for the most part we are all moved in and about half unpacked.

Valentine's Day

Cohen has been bit by the Valentine's day crafting bug.
He's came to me a few days ago asking for 'those beads' to make hearts. It took a few minutes but eventually I figured out that he was asking for the beads and wire we used to make candy canes ornaments the Christmas before last. Lakin and him made a few each of these to give away and hang around the house.

The he asked to cut hearts. And he cut lots and lots of hearts. And made Valentine's faces for his friends and family.


Me? This has been my Valentine's activity....

So far I have made and decorated about 70. I have a dozen or so to go before I have filled all my orders and we can eat at our dining room table again.
