This morning, Luke and Lila’s playgroup came over for a Valentine party. Sadly, this might have been the last one since the majority of the kids will go to kindergarten next year. I can’t really think about that right now.
The kids all ate yummy {sweet} snacks …
… and then we made a little craft. The moms painted the kids’ hands and we pressed them onto the back of clear plates to make hearts. Easier said than done. I may have shown a bit of impatience during this part of the party. {We pressed the handprints onto the back of the plates so the front will remain food safe … we just used simple acrylic paint for the handprints.}
Borrowing from the great ideas at One Charming Party, the kids played Tower of Love {stacking conversation hearts as high as they could} …
… and Chopstick Pick Up {transferring small conversation hearts into a dish using only chopsticks}. Both games were a hit with the kids.
The valentine exchange was a highlight, and I even got a valentine from my friend, Cheryl. How cute is this? Pomegranate soda and a chocolate heart all packaged up with a tulle bow.
… and Tate and Jacob had to get in on the action too {despite Tate’s half-dressed state … she had just dumped a juice box all over her pants}.
I’m sad that these playgroup days will be coming to an end … I think we may have to plan a few special occasions even after all the little punks go to school.

Ahhh, cute. That’s very sad! Good thing you still have Tate 🙂
🙁 So, so sad about littles growing bigger and going to school. Looks like it was a super fun party!
aaw how cute the heart shaped hand print!!
As always it was a great party. I too cannot think about not having another Valentine’s party with these little guys… we may have to figure out a time to at least get a photo on the blue & white couch! 🙂
I’m so glad you were able to get together. It looked like a great party. It’s sad when things come to an end.
