LOVE DAY

I Love Valentine's Day! This year Valentine's Day fell on Thursday and on Thursday we go to coop or Thursday school. All the coop kids were asked to make a Valentine's box to take to coop. Prizes would be given to those who made the best boxes. My kids always get very passionate and excited about these kind of things and they insist on making it into a really big ordeal. So we researched our boxes and made a plan. However, life happened - A LOT- during the two weeks leading up to Valentine's day - that added to the fact that we live 45 minutes away from Walmart and the nearest craft store so it is not easy to just go get any supplies we may not have. So needless to say, we did not get to start on our boxes until the day before coop. I had gotten a little anxious because we really could not start them until that day and they had pretty elaborate plans for their boxes. We did prevail though!!!!! and we didn't even stay up all night doing it!!! Thank goodness for MA who came to help or we would have never gotten everything done that day. I had three casseroles that Cambry was selling and two cobblers to make that day - plus the four Valentine's boxes - plus preparing and getting stuff together to teach my coop class - Whew!!!! Yes I am glad that day is behind me!

Here are the finished results.......
