Were you spoiled this Valentines?
Valentines Day in this 'crazy' house was lots of fun and gave us a wee break from the Letter days we have been doing of late. It also lands 3 days after Lil B's birthday so we were still excited from that!
To start of the day we spent some time discussing the stories/theories behind valentines day, summed up by K...
'So basically its just about giving people you love nice things?'
followed by giving me a big kiss for my valentines :D - much better than my present from his father, a big fat nothing! lol
After we finished talking about the day itself we went onto making cards for daddy, very cute as they wanted to sign them with question marks, so he wouldn't know they were from them! (writing practise and creativity)
We then moved onto some themed worksheets i had made up -
How many hearts - hearts on a tree instead of apples lol (basic math with the option to colour.)
All the things I love - big heart in middle of page where they drew the things they love the most (K drew his daddy coming home from work, himself feeding the ducks & me, bless him! and F drew a family of crocodiles?! gotta love her)
We also spent some time getting some love themed songs together to have a ' dance' too. This is something we do if we cant get out for exercise, crank up the volume and bug the neighbours!
Our songs for Valentines day included...
I got you babe - Sonny & Cher
Think about you - Guns n Roses
Roller coaster of Love - RHCP
All you need is love - The Beetles
...to name but a few!
I think the winkles enjoy our indoor exercise just as much,if not more,than their outdoor run abouts! I'm just glad they have good taste in music and it isn't all the wiggles or some other kiddie rubbish!
We also had some fun making up a love potion - a fruity smoothie with lots of strawberries which made mummy go all silly n start kissing everybody ;) I wish they had taught maths with stuff like this when i was at school, im sure i would have paid more attention!
