A Weekend of Love

We had a sweet Valentine's Day weekend with slumber parties, pizza parties, a birthday party, baking and meal prepping for the week.  I also managed to squeeze in a rare Saturday afternoon nap.  The weather was so weird in Indiana.  3 inches of rain on Saturday and 3 inches of surprise snow on Sunday.  We're supposed to get more snow mid week this week.

I zoomed home from school on Friday and pulled together a sweet Galentine's Party for Olive and her friends.  She made an invitation, texted it out a few weeks ago and planned all the details.  

A huge perk of collecting colored decor vs. holiday decor is that I can pull together these red checked plates for 4th of July, Valentines & Christmas.  Then the placemats work year round.  I just pulled out all my favorite reds and pinks and added some conversation hearts to the tale runner.  Cute table for cute girls.


Mr. Mittens loved all the party planning and had to promptly be locked away for meal time at the party.  He's just too nosey for his own good.

I loved stopping by Fletcher's Valentine's Day party.  He had some really competitve games going on and then this prize punch game.


We did Valentine's Day stations at my class party.  Zero pictures of that because 22 kids + 30ish parents is a lot of people to meet and greet and manage.  It was fun though.


Kevin went to Leo's school party.  He loved it.  And couldn't wait to come home and examine his box of valentine treasures.


Kevin picked up Papa Murphy's heart shaped pizzas for the kids.

Add in some breadsticks, fruits and veggies.  Don't forget the pink lemonade.  The kids loved it.


It makes me smile to host.  Olive also informed me that our house has earned the title with her friends and extra fun becuase we go out of our way to make things extra special when they are here.  Yay!

Leo got a heart goat.

And one of his friends made the class love bugs.  So sweet!

I set my alarm to wake up and make heart waffles for the girls before they got picked up on Saturday morning.  They loved them!


Then we woke up to a surprise blanket of snow on Sunday morning!  It was so pretty.  The roads were pretty slick out so many things were cancelled.

I hope you have a lovely week!
