Weekend Fun!



We have had a very busy, event-filled weekend complete with shopping, parties, and hopefully relaxation too!  

My husband's mom and Christian share the same birthday so we had a surprise party for her today!  We had a party for Christian with our family and close friends yesterday, and on Tuesday, he'll celebrate with friends from school!


We've had our share of cake this weekend!






 I have also done my share of "post Valentine's Day" shopping, and I managed to pick up a few other things (that always seems to happen to me-especially at Dollar Tree, Walmart, and Target)!  Is that a problem for anyone else???

Here is some Valentine stuff (and a few other slightly random items) that you might be interested in...not sure what I'll do with everything, but I know these items will come in handy-the life of a teacher!

a 4 pack of mini-bins...


a pirate party game and mask...





a dancing flower-the more sunlight it gets the more it moves-LOVE this for science/plants/living things...



 
re-usable bags (strawberry and watermelon) 



a Valentine table cloth


a pack of foam heart picture frames


a large heart container, stamps, heart hoppers, and mini-heart boxes 



 
I also got tons of cute notepads this weekend.  I can't wait to use the little egg one for "spring" and "oviparous animals."









This set is perfect for our "Dr. Seuss Week" during the first week of March! I absolutely LOVE studying about Dr. Seuss and all of his wonderful literature!





I hope you've had a great weekend.  Enjoy President's Day tomorrow!
