So all these fabulous Valentine's Day ideas on Pinterest...

And my kid did not get a single heart shaped crayon, photo lollipop holder or any of the other great stuff.  Guess these moms are not into Pinterest....LOL

Re: So all these fabulous Valentine's Day ideas on Pinterest...

  • I was looking for it too! lol the only pinterest-y thing he got was the butterfly shaped cut out thing w/ a lollipop thru it!

  • belle got candy and cards and thats it. no cool stuff either.
  • We didn't either!
  • We didn't either but I was told that one of the moms in the morning class also made crayon hearts.
  • Almost everything Bella got was edible- after the teachers specifically said not to edible. I'm the only jackass who listened!
  • I got one of those superman lollipops so I know one mom who uses it, I use it but just gave out regular old fashioned valentines.

    Sorry I dont need extra junk for my kids.

  • Yep we got all store bought cards and those nasty lollipops.  LOL!  Although one mom made a goody bag with play doh and candy.  Other than that, no crayons or photo cards.
  • Yep, W didn't get anything either. I wanted to do the chocolate M&M pretzel things but since he'd just been sick thought better of a homemade treat. He got a ton of crappy Oriental Trading crap.

  • 18 fold-up valentines and one gift bag with a Suzy's Zoo book.  At 3.5 I thought most would sign their name - nope I was 1 of 2 moms that made kids write names.  It was a good excercise for her and we spent ALOT of time together writing. :)

  • we got 2 handmade cards and the rest were all fold up store ones.    The other moms at his school don't strike me as pinterest type people.

  • we got nothing either.

     I commented to my DH that i guess none of the moms are nesties or on pinterest.

    **the new version of the nest ate my pictures and I can't get them back again***
  • We got 1 photo lollipop card.  The rest were the reg cards with heart shaped lollipops.  I have about 30 of them between the 2 kids. 

    And I agree with the PP about none of the kids writing their names.  I thought for sure more kids would have done it.  Only my kid and 1 other.  I know RJ isn't that hard to write but still - he did 23 all by himself and he was darn proud of himself.  

    Even the teacher whose daughter is IN RJ's class didn't have her write her name.  It's an "easy" name too - Ava.

  • S got a book. I know his mom didn't get the idea on pinterest because her daughter gave out books 4 years ago in the infant room. I thought it was great, btw.

    M got mostly candy, but he was more excited about the stickers and tattoos. He also got a placemat which he loved.

    Honestly I sort of hate what pinterest has done. I'm creative and normally make my own cards, etc but now everyone assumes you got an idea from someone else on pinterest...
