V-Day Decorations

 

This is a Christmas wreath I found after Christmas for 1.00 at Walmart. My first thought was great I now have a something to hang on my door for Valentines. I found the cute hearts at Dollar tree and the sign I made with stuff laying around the house. I am loving the sparkle stuff.

 

This what my entry table looks like with all the Valentine stuff on it. See the tree it has a funny story to it, but I got it at Walmart for a Dollar too or should I say 3 of them.

 

I went shopping with a Friend when she showed me these candy canes and said: "Wouldn't these make a cute Valentine heart." YES they do. We each bought 2 candy canes and made a heart out of them.

 

This my center piece. If some of these things look familiar to save money I switched out the blue and put in the red. I did the same for my chandelier. I even kept out most of my red from Christmas so that I can decorate for Valentines.

My Dal turned 9 last week and it felt like a we celebrated all week.
This was on his real birthday Mark got home at 4:30 and had to leave at 5 for a scout meeting. Then at 6 we had basketball practice.
We opened up presents and had cake in a half hour.

Here are some of the games we played at the party. We made Lego men heads out of marshmallows and colored them. We made the boys pick up Lego's with chop sticks and move then to another bowl. We had a yarn maze downstairs that the had to untangle before they got the prize at the end. We also played darts with the Nerf guns, made light sabers with form insulation, had pizza and cupcakes.

Dal had a great party. I told the boys we don't have party's after 8, but since we moved we wanted Dal to have more friends over to get to know. I and my house survived 8 boys in my house
