Since Honey and the PCP have baseball practice tonight and we have plans to dine on our fave Thai takeout late after the littles are asleep, we celebrated Valentine’s Day as a family over supper last night.

When the baby ran across a colorful bag of bouncey balls in Target, it was love at first sight ($4ish for 24). We packaged them up in mini-cello bags with an edited version of our “Have a BALL this Summer” topper and called the Valentine’s for his class complete! I folded the bags down, printed… Read More
