Love Is In The Air

Well, Valentines is almost here and let me tell you...we are feeling it at our house. Or rather, I am feeling it. Luke has to have homemade Valentines. And, those that know me well will tell you this is not my forte--craftiness. If only my former sister-in-law was still around. When Jack was young, she was around and always came up with the best and cutest ideas and loved doing crafts and art projects with him. I am great at planning it but really prefer someone else to implement my ideas.

Anyway, here is what I came up with. I had to cut out all these stinking hearts but they turned out pretty cute. Luke helped me glue and his favorite part was putting the eyes on. It's hard to tell by the pic but they are heart puppy dogs--everything is a heart. The note says "I Wuff You! Happy Valentine's Day." But as we are working, he tells me he would rather give his friends the Cars cards because those are "sooo cool". Fantastic. Cool they are but look at how cute these are. Hmm oh well. He is just excited to have a party and get candy.

Jack has his final Valentine party on Friday and Emma doesn't have one, but will take treats for her class. We got rid of Jack's Valentine box that we have used since K5 (the one Juhls made) because we thought no more parties. So, we are scrambling for a box. Jack really could care less about this but certainly has opinions on what I should do for his box. Hmmmm...So, tomorrow night, we will re-do his box as he has changed his mind on what we did first. I keep reminding him it is for a 20 minute party so let's not worry too much.

And, all this while Emma is so sick. Poor baby. On the way to school Tuesday I hear a lot of liquid and look back and poor girl is puking. This is a first for her so she was so confused. She's been very brave and has been much better today, but still a little lethargic and needy. Tonight we had a lot of energy so I am hoping she feels great tomorrow.
