Happy Valen-100 Day!

It just so happened that our 100th day of school and Valentine's Day coincided.  So we're going to celebrate both!

We started out with a "hearty" breakfast. (Honestly, I didn't even think about that until it was typed. HA!)

Please excuse the goofy child with bacon hanging out of her mounth. She wanted it there on purpose. {sigh}
 The kids were excited to see this when they entered the school room today . . .



The kids made Day 100 shirts.  I thought it was neat that they each did something different.  We had looked at a couple ideas online to get their creative juices flowing.


I HAD to add this picture -- one of many tries.  When I said "Smile for a picture", this is what I had to deal with.
 

Then we made snack necklaces out of Fruit Loops as we counted to 100!



For lunch, I thought of making pizza with heart-shaped pepperonis, but my kids don't eat pepperoni.  The two younger kids had french bread pizza, and I made a heart-shaped cheesy chicken quesadilla for the oldest.  Note to self: cutting pineapple into heart shapes isn't a great idea -- it's stringy and doesn't want to cut easily.  Your first option, watermelon, was the better choice.  Next time, keep searching until you find some.

 
Since Prince Bud is just starting to grasp what 100 is, he enjoyed a couple different activities than the girls.
 
He "put" 10 gumballs in 10 gumball machines.  Started out as dots, then circles, then connect-the-dots . . . boys.

We've changed Bud sleep schedule, so he's getting more sleep . . . can you tell?!?

Later I found his 100-stickered monster with a pushpin through his eye! His inner boy is really starting to come out.  We're rather enjoying it since he's been hanging out and copying his two older sisters all his life.
The girls made 100 Days Smarter hats with 100 stickers. I knew those stickers would come in handy someday!

This sneaky girl managed to get away without any pictures at the end of the day.
What a fun day we had!  We ended it by watching a movie together while eating one of the kids' favorite meals -- appetizers!  Had to change dinner plans when the Knight got home late.  We'll plan to have our steaks and chocolate pie on Saturday!
