Layla has been really excited for Valentine's Day. It is her first time celebrating the holiday since she started school (pre-school) so was really looking forward to giving her friends valentine's cards. In a moment of insanity I suggested that instead of simply buying some cards, we make our own. She thought that was an awesome idea! We went to the store and bought all of the supplies we would need, including some chocolate hearts to stick inside.
We spent yesterday cutting, drawing, and pasting 23 Valentine's Day cards. The worst part for her was having to sign her name on each one. At one point she decided she was sick of writing "Layla" so she though she would just put random letters and numbers. Obviously that doesn't work so we had to redo those ones.
Today she got to take them to school and put one in each of the boxes the students had prepared. I think it was the best day Layla has had at school so far. She loved going through and reading each one she received when she got home...and I'll admit, it was fun for me too.
Happy Valentine's Day!
i liked going through my kids stuff too.
ReplyDeletei see she's already wearing some of char's stuff! i found the pants to the yoga suit i gave you..oops.
She has worn nothing else since! You can add the pants to baron's 3 other shoes and layla's outfit :P
ReplyDeleteThat was very ambitious of you but it looks like it turned into a nice family activity. I like your folded heart idea for the cards...very creative.
ReplyDeleteKenzie made her own Valentines this year too. She enjoyed it much more than in previous years when she simply signed her name on store bought ones. Layla looked like she was taking it very seriously.
