Valentines

We have a tradition in our home around Valentine's Day.  The week before, everyone makes at least one Valentine for someone else in the family.  We each have a Valentine Pouch with our name on it:
 We had fun making these yesterday
 And with Ethan around, the bags are never empty . . .
 Here's how many valentines we've all received just since last night!!
 And here is my favorite one Ethan made for me:
For my Prehistoric Valentine.  I'm ferocious for you, Valentine! 

I think Ethan's already made everyone in the family at least 4 or 5.  I'm going to have a hard time keeping his filled!  But it's fun to write love notes to the people you love.  It make my children's faces light right up to see a love note from me, and their notes make me happy too!

Happy Valentine's Week!

cute! i love his drawings. he's going to be a great artist by the time he's 12. And with his affinity for "keeping the facts straight" he'll probably be really good with the technical stuff that I've always lacked. I'm always impressed by that little dude.

and I think we'll start on this same tradition. I've seen it several places in the blogosphere and think its really fun.

What a great idea! And please tell me Ethan had help spelling those words! Though knowing how much he likes reading. We might have to copy this idea this afternoon.
