Valentine's Day Tip! The kids!


John 16:21 
When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.
 


Okay I guys I missed a few days.. but love is still in the air.. and who can forget about the kids? Children are so special. I love my children with all my heart. I didn't know what love was until I had my beautiful daughter and son. So to show that Valentine's Day is not just for adults.. here are some tips to make sure they get the Valentine's Day Aura. (smile)

1. The night before, I go to the dollar store and decorate the table. I get red gift bags and fill it with candy, coloring books, and little dollar gifts. I get a couple of Valentine's Day Balloons and put them at the table, and I drop confetti on all around to look like there is a party going on.  It is cheap, and it looks like I spent alot when I really didn't.

2. Take the kids out to dinner. I do this one sometimes to, but I get off late most days.

3. A Valentine's Day card with like five bucks in it.. or even better get some index cards and make them a coupon book. The coupon book could have one coupon for a day of doing no chores, a coupon to let  them stay up as late as they want, or a coupon that is good for a movie of their choice, or anything that would like done for them.

4. Make cupcakes, and let them decorate them with sprinkles, and icing, and candy.

5. A hug and a kiss goes a long way.  This is a given really. But an extra special hug, and kiss always does the trick.

6. Anything that you do get, try to wrap it up with red or Valentine's Day paper. All kids like to open up things that are wrapped.

With a cozy, and thoughtful, and grateful heart, I say I love the kids. Keep up the great work because we are growing beyond belief!

God bless.  Crystal
