Bella Caiden

So I must confess I am totally stealing this idea from one of favorite blogs, Lena B, Actually. I love reading Lena's blog and when I saw her interview with her children (found here) I just knew I had to steal it:) After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... Right???? :)

So, I sat down with the kiddos and asked them their opinions about love and Valentine's day!!!

Please keep in mind Jonathon will be 6 years old next Friday and Bella is 4 years old.

Why do we celebrate Valentine's Day?

Bella: "For Jesus and everyone we love"

Jonathon: "It's Jesus' birthday"

Me: "That's Christmas buddy"

Jonathon: "Everyday is Jesus' day"

What does "true love" mean?

Bella: "it means that we love you"

Jonathon: "it means we love each other and get married"

What does it mean to be "in love"?

Bella: "you kiss"

Jonathon: "you get married"

When do people get married?

Bella: "July 5th" - at first I was shocked she was so specific but then I realized that is the date of a relatives wedding that we are attending this summer... proof that your children are ALWAYS listening.

Jonathon: "Are you going to ask any boy questions?" "I don't want to talk about this stuff"

How old do you have to be to get married?

Bella: "20"

Jonathon: "18"

What do you love the most?

Bella: "Mommy"

Jonathon: "Skylanders"

Who is your favorite couple?

Bella: "Mommy and Daddy"

Jonathon: "Grandma and Papa"

What is your favorite love song?

Bella: "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Jonathon: (breaks out into song) "Baby my love for you... is like the price of tires... it is high... on this here tractor" :) LOL this kid cracks me up:)

go to 7:55 on the video and you will completely understand!!!! LOL

What do people do when they go out on a date?

Bella: "When me and Daddy go on dates we go to Build A Bear and for steak and salad, because that's what I said I wanted to do"

Jonathon: "dinner... and I don't like going to dinner because it is soooo borrringggg"

Me: "Well what would you want to do on a date?"

Jonathon: "Play video games or hockey" " or play with toys... but not girl toys"

How do people act when they are in love?

Bella: "they go out to dinner and hug a lot"

Jonathon: "they are nice to each other"

Why did Mommy and Daddy get married?

Bella: "you married David because he liked you" (she laughed when she said David, she was so proud of herself for knowing/using his real name)

Jonathon: "you married Daddy because you thought you were in love with him" LOL (thought)

Are you going to get married some day?

Bella: "No because I don't want to"

Jonathon: "Yes I'm going to marry Mommy"

What do you want your boyfriend or girlfriend to be like? (confused faces)

Me: "like smart, funny, nice, pretty"

Jonathon: "I want her to like video games"

Bella: "I don't want a boyfriend. I just like Jonny and Daddy and Daddy says I can't like boys"

So there you have it!!! My kiddos and their take on LOVE!!!! Aren't they just the cutest??

Valentine's Day is sneaking up on us pretty quickly and after scouring pinterest for weeks looking for the perfect Valentine's for my little stud to hand out in class... I finally gave up! There were some super awesome ideas, but I just couldn't get myself to commit to any of them. I was really on the hunt for something NON-CANDY, but also not too popular that some of the other moms might have decided to ~~copy~~ create it as well. Here were a few of my favorites:

So here is what I finally came up with:) I have to say I totally LOVE THEM!!!!

I purchased a case of tumblers from the Dollar Tree in assorted colors and used my Silhouette to vinyl them with his classmate's names. But of course nothing makes a cute Valentine quite like a photo of my special little man! I knew right away I would use the chalkboard because... how do I put this....

I'm a little obsessed:)

We use it for EVERYTHING!!! but anyway.... for those of you that don't know one of my FAVORITE movies of all times is Hope Floats!!!! (with Sandra Bullock) I have so many favorite lines from that movie but I have to say one of my absolute favorites is when Bernice tells her Grandma she loves her and the grandma's response is "... My cup runneth over." tear***sigh**** I love LOVE:)

Okay I'll stop rambling now.... Any who!!! I ordered prints of the picture on Walmart's website in 4x6 and put them inside of the cups. They were a tiny bit too tall so I had to trim them with my "fancy" scrap booking scissors (also from the Dollar Tree) and then they went right in. Don't they make the whole thing wayyy cuter? It's so easy to make cute Valentine's when you have such a cute kid:)

I am so excited for Jonathon to take his "Cups of Love" into school next week!!!!

and he can't wait to give them to all of his friends. What do you think?

Oh and just for giggles...check out this sweet pic:)

"No more pictures Mommy... I want to go play HOCKEY" ... that's my boy:)
