After the {Valentine's} party..

I did not get very good pictures of Izabelle's Valentine Party yesterday..oh well..all that matters is that we had fun..& we did have FUN! We had a Valentine Tea Party..well a {punch party} anyway..Page says that we did not have a tea party..'cause we didn't have tea. We had finger sandwiches {ham & cheese, egg salad & cucumber dill}..grape tomatoes, fresh strawberries, cheese, grapes, crackers, homemade Valentine Sugar Cookies {with baking soda instead of baking powder..ha ha!} & yummy {Moss' recipe} punch! Everyone went home with a Valentine Mailbox that I made for them {I stayed up until 2:30 am Friday night to make them..I thought that we could make them together at the party..but.. then..I decided that they would be a little difficult for the kids to assemble.

After the party..Brayden & Izabelle decided to attach notes to her party balloons..then release them..Jennifer & I watched them out of the livingroom window for a little while..Brayden & Izabelle didn't realize that we were watching them & laughing!..B & I were so serious..discussing their plan about releasing the balloons..then they would just crack up laughing {I get the biggest kick out of watching kids when they don't know you are watching them..they are just so funny!}

Izabelle decided to stick Mattie in her {car}..Izabelle was scooting around the house in a Stampin' Up! box..she put tail lights, a steering wheel, license plate and a cup holder..for her party punch on this box{car}. Mattie thinks everything is funny..she just hung out in the {backseat} while Izabelle took her cruising..I told the kids that we would just go pick up a pizza for dinner..Izabelle yells out.."I'll go get it, mom!"..and starts out the front door..in her {car}. Crazy kid!
