My sister in law Whitney gave me a great idea and we got everyone a little Valentine mailbox that we put out the week of Valentine's to write each other little notes. I would put little treats in there, like a rolo and they thought it was so fun. They 'wrote' notes to each other and to us and the first thing out of their mouth each morning was 'I need to go check my mailbox.'
Valentine's morning they got a pair of valentine socks and a valentine heart decorated cup. They were thrilled! I love that they don't care what they get, any small, little, thing is so exciting for them.
We made sugar cookies which they loved decorating and of course eating.
Valentine's day after naps, we took them to Jungle Jims, a little indoor amusement park with little kid rides. We haven't been there for a while and the girls are at the perfect age to enjoy it. They loved every ride but hands down their favorite ride was the 'roller coaster'. It goes so fast in circles. I went with them the first time but just sent them after that and I was totally laughing at them. Their faces looking at each other and laughing their heads off was the funniest thing to watch. Jaron even loved all the rides. His favorite was the swings. Every time they would start to go, he would get this look on his face like 'it's moving and this is kind of fun' It was so cute. After that we came home and had a heart shaped pizza and played a new game we got called Zingo. It's a fun game that the girls can play and enjoy. Although I taught them Go Fish this week as well and they are loving Go Fish as well.
It was a fun Valentine's and don't worry they are already onto the next holiday and asking how many more sleeps until St Patrick's day, getting out all our green decorations and asking what does the secret leprechaun look like? I love 3 year olds!
