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!
Love the dancing flower! Those were all the rage when I was in elementary school Everyone had to have one! This one is updated for "solar power" - mine was music/sound power! Brings back fun memories!

I had the post Valentine's Day "shopping bug", too! Check out the stuff I got! I tried to get to the Dollar Tree, but they lost power! I guess I'll have to go back. : )

I am so jealous - you always find the best stuff! I tried the Dollar Tree and Target here, but I didn't see any of your good finds. Just gives me a reason to keep going back and checking. : )
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the Dr. Seuss books? I get to go to the city tomorrow and won't have much time. Hope you can help me pre-shop!!!
