Oh, the minor holidays

It is no secret that I have a special fondness for minor holidays. I can't explain it, but I think there is something fun about making a big deal out of something that is, well, not a big deal. So we celebrate the silly little holidays. I hope this is something the boys remember as they get older and one day look back on their childhood.

Here are some pictures from Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and of course Earth Day!

Valentine's Day

My mom sent the boys these cute mailboxes last year. This year I used them to leave small surprises for the boys each morning. They were super excited about their mailboxes :) 

Festive brownies.

I love this.

Window Clings. Incredibly cheap entertainment.

Valentine's Treats. For this small holiday we do a book, candy, and small toy for each of the boys.

V-Day breakfast.

School treats for Carver's class.

This picture of Cargy is hilarious. Love that face and the enthusiasm.

St. Patrick's Day

Earth Day!

Painting Birdhouses.
