Roses are red...

and violets are blue

THIS girl loves candy,

and valentines too!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and I won't mention any names, but someone in our household was rather excited :) For the third year in a row, Ryan and I decided we didn't want to celebrate Valentine's Day between the two of us, as neither of us particularly care for it.  Instead, we would concentrate on Jaylinne, and make sure she had a fun day!

She got to have a party at school where she brought all of her classmates valentine gift-bags. The gift bags contained bouncy balls, bubbles, heart-shaped notepads, stickers, and more than enough candy to make any dentist squirm. 

For her teacher, Mrs. Buhler, she wanted to bring a special gift. She opted to get her a ceramic coffee mug that also had a chalkboard heart on it that she could write messages on! There was also a bit of candy in there, just in case Mrs. Buhler has a sweet-tooth!

So what was the icing on this metaphorical cake, you ask? That she got to wear a skirt to school with her heart-covered tights :)

For the night-time festivities, Ryan and I took her to the rec center for a little swimming. We got to see all of the things she has been learning in her swimming class, and she is doing a great job! She had a blast and wore herself out in no time :) If this is what I can expect for Valentine's Day for years to come, then sign me up!
