5 for Friday...The Valentine Edition

Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!!  Do you like to celebrate?!  Or do you think this is a pretty hokey 'holiday'?!  Honestly, I love it.  And like I said before, it's not because of the "lovey-dovey" idea behind it all.  It's just so darn nostalgic for me.  I mean, were elementary school Valentine parties the best or what?!

This week I'm linking up with sweet Kacey over at Doodle Bugs Teaching for her weekly 5 for Friday linky.

1.  Tell me this isn't the most precious thing you've ever seen.  Of course, I found the idea on Pinterest.  I'm not giving credit to Pinterest because Pinterest didn't create it, but I saw about 5 of these minion boxes at the same time and quite frankly I don't know who to give credit to!  You can check out the original links on my Happy Heart Day pinboard.  He was SO excited!!  He said, "Thith ith THO funny!  Thankth momma!"  He was so proud of that thing!  

We gave the  boys' teachers little boxes of brownie mix and a spatula.  I found the gift tag printables HERE.  Lauren McKinsey might have the cutest little shop EVER.  Just sayin'. If you haven't seen her stuff yet, you're definitely missing out!!!!

  

2.  Before I went to bed last night, I set out a little buffet of deliciousness for Mr. Spouse.  He was leaving before I was this morning and I wanted to do a little something sweet for him.  My boys helped me prep the little basket of goodies.  They were SO excited to show daddy what mommy did for him!  HA!  Again, I found the idea for these on Pinterest...I just took a whole bunch of different ideas I pinned and combined them into one little package.  I had a few friends on Instagram ask about the tags.  I made them and if you are ever in need, you can download them HERE or click on the pictures below.  They're not fancy, but they do the trick!  

I love you to pieces ~ Reese's Pieces

3.  I've never met a chocolate covered anything I don't just love.  These strawberries are no exception.  We had a "Choc-luck" buffet of chocolate goodies in the lounge today and I took one too many trips to the fondue station.  Ohmiword.  To die for.

4.  We made these paper plate hats today and the kids thought they were hilarious.  Can you tell why this one was my favorite?!

5.  Mr. Spouse and I seriously don't ever go out of our way to do anything particularly special on Valentine's Day.  He used to send me flowers, but I begged him to stop because A) they're WAY overpriced on Valentine's Day...B) I'm too cheap to waste the money...and C) I've got a black thumb...live plants don't last more than a few hours in my care.  

Today was a bit of a surprise.  I emailed Mr. Spouse during my conference time this morning to tell him how sad I was that one of my special little friends moved out of town. Like, lots of tears kind of sad.  He emailed me back a bit later to tell me he left a pick-me-up in my car.  That usually translates to a big Sonic drink, so imagine my surprise when I opened up my car door to find these waiting for me.....

Somebody earned some MAJOR brownie points today!!!  HA!

Hope y'all had a great Valentine's Day!  Now it's time for a big, greasy dinner full of burgers and fries!  Sounds like a PERFECT way to end the day!!  

Have a GREAT weekend!!!
