Valentine's Day Boxes...

This year, the boys chose Valentine boxes that made me think a bit out of the box. Roen wanted to do the moon and Remi wanted to do Venus. Remi has been studying the solar system at school and is just full of all kinds of facts on the planets. He chose Venus because contrary to what one might think, it is actually the hottest planet in our solar system. Remi was proud that even Micah and I didn't know that.

Remi loves gluing, cutting and putting things together and so with his box, he was a big help. Roen helped here and there. He didn't really get into as much as Remi, but thats ok because I had a blast helping him and he was very pleased with the final product!

Venus...









The Moon...









Since they were doing space related boxes, they wanted their Valentine cards to coordinate. I had so much fun designing their little cards and all their little classmates just loved the big bouncy balls.





Valentine's has always been one of my most favorite holidays. A holiday dedicated to pink, pretty things, love... well, it's all just right up my alley. Now that I get to help the boys create boxes and cards, it has become even more fun!

Well my Valentine box never looked like this! As a matter of fact, I didn't even have a box. I think we had heart shaped envelopes made out of construction paper for our Valentine's...or a brown paper sack decorated with lace and heart cut-outs. These are the coolest boxes...y'all did a great job. The boys come up with some neat ideas and you help bring them to life!
