Love!

Are your VALENTINES finished?  Here's what each of my five shared witht their friends...

#1 - Boy - age 11

Mom: Hey, buddy, whatta ya want to make for your Valentines this year.
#1:  Really, Mom?{sarcasm}  I'll just hand 'em a package of candy.  {Mom's heart breaking.}

 
We did this on picmonkey and printed them with publisher.  Love these!
{...and yes, that is a wad of gum in his mouth.}
 
#2 - Girl - age 9

Mom: Hey, girlie-girl, I found this great idea online today for your Valentines!
#2 :  Awesome!  Can we do them tonight?  {Mom's heart smiling.}

Check out this oh so talented lady at Grow Creative.  Love her stuff.  Together we made 30 of these darling hearts for #2's classmates. 
 
Risk of frustration is greatly reduced when you use actual
water color paper and a water color brush - just sayin'. 
Oh and we traced around a cookie cutter.



#3 - Girl - age 8

#3: Hey, Mom!  I found a funny idea online for my Valentine's. 
Could you get me 2 bags of tootsie-pops?
Mom:  ABSOLUTELY!  {Mom proud of independent child.}

#4 - Boy - age 6

Mom:  Hey, big buy, what would you like to make for your friends for Valentine's Day?
#4: What time's wrestling practice? {Mom ....no real thoughts here.}
 

#5 - Girl - age 3

#5 - Can I eat these now?
{shopping together and buying small packages of goldfish for her daycare buddies}
Mom: No, honey.  These are for your friends at school.
#5 - I don't have any friends. Can I eat them NOW?  {Mom wondering when to start therapy.}
Share the love-
Becky
