Valentine's Day

We found out on Sunday that the kids did not make Valentine's boxes at school. We also found out that giving out candy was a standard part of Valentine's day fare in CT... so a flurry of shopping and crafting ensued.
The results were pretty cute. Ben's monster box:

Nikki's robot:

On Monday Nik was home, sick so I didn't get as much done as I wanted. Ok, I got nothing done. In the last hour before Ian and Ben came home, I managed to hastily cobble together a quick Valentine's dinner, including cheesecake squares. I put out a red tablecloth and some candles and Voila!

Since Nikki missed the party at school he brought home his candy today. Do you think Nikki was satisfied with his haul?

Not too thoughtful of the teacher to let you know at the last minute about Valentine boxes. The boys' boxes are so creative and they did a wonderful job.

Bummer that Nik missed the party on Monday.

Your dinner looks good.

Very nice boxes!
Poor Nikki, hope he got over Valentine's day disappointment.
