My husband hates Valentine's Day. He thinks its a marketing ploy and that he doesn't need a special "arranged" day to tell his wife that he loves her. I've become okay with this frame of mind because he does let me know how much he loves me throughout the year. He gets me flowers for no reason and stuff like that. Awww . . . sweet boy.
But, Valentine's Day still happens even if we're not fully participating. My kids have to bring the allotted number of valentines to school to let all their friends know that they are friends. Not that they love them and want to be their Valentine, because that would be inappropriate.
Here's what my kids will be bringing to their classmates. I fell in love with this idea when I saw it
here. My kids had fun helping and I felt an immense amount of satisfaction in being crafty. I haven't done C's yet because he doesn't need his until Monday and the little ones need theirs this Thursday.
I took their pictures, added the words in photoshop and had them printed at Sam's. It cost $4.50 total. I had bought this enormous box of Blow Pops at a party store a while back. I'm not sure why I bought a box of 100 Blow Pops, but I did. They finally came in handy, and I slid them in little slits I cut in the pictures. Clever, eh?
I hope you all have a happy day of
love.
