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!

LOL at “Maybe, maybe not.”
Those are so cute!!!! You should sell those!
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….
