Last Minute Valentines For Ethan

So, in my haze this week, I completely forgot that Ethan’s Valentine’s Day classroom party is tomorrow!  Whoops!  With no ability to run out and buy anything, I had to use what I already had.  Kind of makes it more fun, don’t you think?

I did a quick internet search for some cute Valentines printables and I came across those adorable pirates!  Find them HERE.  Sure, I could have drawn something myself, but these were too cute to pass!
I printed them out, colored them in, sewed on the felt eye patches, wrote on the fronts, and had Ethan sign the backs!  Easy peasy!
Then, I quickly took a bunch of pretzel rods, dipped them into candy melts, and decorated each one with some pretty sprinkles.
 Packaged them up and DONE!  I have his Valentine’s treats ready to go!

And I may or may not have made lots of extras for me to eat during nap time.  Maybe.  Maybe not.
 Now, I just have to find time to make Ainsley’s Valentine’s Day dress and stuff
for her
Mommy and Me class!

    Great idea for covering Pretzels. I am not a fan of the snack, but I think I would love it with a little sugar on it….
