I Heart...

I am admittedly somewhat anti-Valentines Day. It's a silly made-up "holiday" that forces couples to endure crowded restaurants, spend money on overpriced flowers, cards, etc. My husband and I love each other every single day of the year, thank you very much. I also recently learned that the expectations are high for mothers when it comes to sending cards to all your children's classmates.

Remember my debate about what to do for the children in Mason's pre-school class for Valentine's Day? Well, the teacher answered all my questions by sending home a note that instructed me to send in one valentine per classmate, along with a list of names. The list included all the children in the class, i.e. not just the children that are in the Monday/Thursday class. The funny ridiculous thing about this is that Mason will be giving Valentines to children that he's never met.

I actually had fun making the cards though.

Cardstock + stickers + heart-shaped suckers = cute crafty Valentines.





I had to do most of the work, although I let Mason go crazy with the foam heart stickers.



This sticker was Mason's favorite. Hopefully his buddies won't be blowing up my cell phone with all sorts of texts to him.
