Store Bought Valentines

My oldest son has never cared what kind of Valentine's Day cards he gives to his classmates. So going on that assumption, I envisioned driving to the dollar store on Wednesday afternoon, picking up some cheesy character cards, writing classmates names on them, and taking them to school on Friday to give to their friends.

Macy put an abrupt stop to my easy plan. In tears, she explains to me that she CAN NOT bring this type of card to school. They simply must be HANDMADE!! Branson was still not picky. He thought pencils would be good since all of his classmates were out of them, thanks to practicing for the state mandated writing test. We settled on these for Branson. Simple and cute!

Macy, of course, was not nearly as easy to satisfy. Her Valentines involved lots of cutting, hole punching, gluing, and general "craftiness." The girls had to have pink ones and the boys got blue. I really should have known! They turned out pretty cute. However next year, I will be asking what she wants to do a little earlier than then night before!
Hope you and yours have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
