And we always go early - I feel like most people looking for a romantic evening don't go right at 5:30 :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day/page/2#post-2688534 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 18:02:00 +0000 daniellemybelle 2688534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Hibachi is a good idea - going to propose this to DH! LO will think it's cool and I have been craving it ;) Just hope the tables full of couples on Valentine's dates don't mind our 3 year old, haha!</p> <p>We have done some low key decorations from the dollar spot at Target. LO &amp; I made DH a mug at a pottery painting place. It was a "two birds one stone" thing because pottery painting was also on our "before baby brother list"! I will continue to encourage DH to have her pick something out from her to me but we'll see :) </p> <p>I am going to get her some little goodies from Target and put them in a gift bag for her to open on Valentine's Day. Nothing crazy. I do like the idea many have mentioned of having Daddy bring both Mommy &amp; his little girl flowers so I am going to encourage that too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day/page/2#post-2688533 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 17:56:58 +0000 sapphire 2688533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be in Hawaii - should be exciting enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2688472 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 12:33:46 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2688472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually keep it low key. The kids make homemade valentines and we make some type of treat at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2688438 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 09:52:26 +0000 ElbieKay 2688438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to ignore VD as much as possible. We celebrate our relationship on our anniversary. Neither my husband nor I are interested in VD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687952 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 10:20:44 +0000 Anagram 2687952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! probably I will have my oldest help my make valentines for her class, and maybe one for Daddy and her teachers and our nanny, and little sister. She'll get valentines from her classmates. That's enough for us. I don't want it to be a big gift holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687948 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 10:17:15 +0000 gentlelunette 2687948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to do something fun, but my due date is Valentine's Day so I'll either have a very new baby, or be extremely pregnant and irritable so I'm going to aim for next year. Lol! I'll likely get DD a little treat, and if I've got the energy make some heart shaped pancakes. DH will get some sort of candy. I better get flowers and lots of chocolate, especially if I'm still pregnant 😬 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687847 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 03:06:33 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2687847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: haha!!</p> <p>I love that you get your daughters flowers.. Mine is only 11 mo but I'll bring it up to my husband- I would loove it if he got her flowers every v-day</p> <p>This doesn't necessarily have to be on vday but my daughter's bday is in February so I plan to throw a Valentine's Day party every year (and celebrate her bday then too) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687831 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 23:54:43 +0000 looch 2687831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will gift my son a fossil kit. I don't do "themed" stuff a lot, so I won't get him Valentine stuff or things with hearts on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687796 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 22:41:16 +0000 caterw 2687796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year DH got a box of chocolate dipped strawberries in a fancy box from Edible Arrangements and DD still remembers it (she is currently 3). When we talked about Valentine's Day, she brought that up so I guess that is now our tradition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687631 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 18:54:00 +0000 winniebee 2687631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: haha!

I look at Valentine's Day as a day for LOVE, in general. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687623 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 18:44:16 +0000 littlejoy 2687623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll grab a cupcake after school, and DH will make dinner ... since we've been together (12 years), he always makes a really fun v-day dinner.</p> <p>I'll probably get a little shirt for her to wear to school that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687610 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 18:16:29 +0000 SweetCaroline 2687610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's DD's birthday! :heart: we got her a "love" theme book in addition to her birthday gifts. We'll have pizza for dinner because it's her fav. </p> <p>I think once we have a future LO we will do Valentine's the weekend before so DD doesn't have to share her day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687600 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 17:53:25 +0000 LemonJack 2687600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't thought about it yet. DD loves to help in the kitchen so I might make cookies with her and get her a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687458 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 15:29:20 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2687458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: @sugarpea: we read that book year round!

It's perfect for that age.<br /> This year, I'm thinking of doing Foxy in Love and a jellycat fox. I always got a tiny gift on Valentine's morning growing up and I'd like to do that too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687333 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 14:24:09 +0000 jhd 2687333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought him some treats and a few new puzzles at the dollar store. We might make some mini cupcakes because he loves doing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687320 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 14:14:41 +0000 Mama Bird 2687320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No no no no! Valentine's Day is for lovers. Not toddlers, or their little toddler classmates. But I'm clearly in the minority here, so I'm afraid my quest against the proliferation of little pink hearts and related junk in my house is doomed :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687307 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 14:02:10 +0000 Boogs 2687307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we did anything, but maybe I should because I know the oldest would especially love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687200 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 12:40:37 +0000 sugarpea 2687200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS will be 10 months so I'm getting him the Llama Llama I Love You board book for a little treat :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687148 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 11:15:36 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2687148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll get DD some candy and she'll get flowers or a balloon from DH. I think I'll get her a valentines book. She's got one from every other holiday almost. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687145 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 11:14:12 +0000 wrkbrk 2687145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: This is his second valentine's day and he may know what's up this time (14 months)?? Haha. I want to do heart shaped pancakes, and we got him a little toy. It's not valentine's related but it's a cute little bathtub doll that is "dirty" til you wash him off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-anything-for-your-kids-for-valentines-day#post-2687126 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 10:53:16 +0000 psw27 2687126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: oooh I love Valentine's Day!
