Chuck ran off with my camera and I am sorely missing it.
Point and Shoots aren't my bag, but that's what we're lookin' at here.
I love Valentine's Day. I don't know why. I just do.
I don't really expect anything for myself on Valentine's. Really I don't.
I had thrown out a no-money-spending-kind-gesture-only request in years past, but I'm letting him off the hook this year. After 11 years of birthdays and valentines your idea tank kinda runs dry.
Though, massages are ALWAYS nice.
(Chuck reads my blog.)
A night out would be incredible, though I doubt that will happen.
We got these kids see. And they're always around. So we just make the holidays about them. ESPECIALLY VALENTINE'S DAY
Charley's Valentines for her Classmates
For the girls...PUFFBALL Flowers!
I really don't see the point in making Valentine's (or any other craft) unless the kids play a major part. That's just me. BUT, I have to confess, I'd already made these puffballs and they were laying around waiting for me to string them into garland, so Charley and I decided we'd just use them. Charley tried to make a puffball but you have to trim them down to a uniform length and she trimmed it down to a nub. Think Barbie's haircut. She couldn't resist. I get that.
Then, I had to man the glue gun of course. I hate that bleepity bleepin' thing. It hurts my fangers every time I use it. And you know when you get out the glue gun the kids aren't participating much, though in our case, Charley was able to hold the puffball in place until the glue dried. That's something right?
OH, she totally handled the leaves. Cut them out and labeled them and everything.
For the Boys...LOVE ARROWS!
I'm kinda afraid Charley's going to get in trouble for this one.
She's got one too and all she wants to do is throw it at me.
Somebody's probably going to loose an eye.
Happy Valentine's, you lost an eye.
I got a big bag of fabric scraps (that we used for the arrows) at a thrift store and it was so random, she didn't even charge me for it. Yeah. That's what I pick out at thrift stores.
Worthless garbage.
And sticks are free. And yarn. Let's call that free because everybody's already got yarn.
What aminit. I'm going to call it.
Total cost for all these Valentines: ZERO
