As Joshua and I looked through Family Fun magazines for ideas for his class valentines there was a clear and definite choice for him. . . . a valentine ipod. I couldn't say no as making these cute little kinds of crafts are fun for me to do, okay well at least the first few are fun to make and usually after that I am over it. We gathered our supplies and began working on them slowly, over the course of several days as these valentines were a bit labor intensive. It wasn't a kid-friendly project so Joshua basically signed his name on each of them and glued his friends pictures on, which he was thankfully fine with. Joshua is very excited to pass them out to his friends so I guess all that work was worth it.
Joshua also had to make a box to bring to school to collect his valentines in. My kid couldn't just do a plan old box, oh no he found a picture (good ol' Family Fun again) of a valentine boat box which he thought would be fun. We got to creating once again, but at least this time he could help with the gluing, taping and decorating. His boat is ready to be filled with all kinds of valentines!

funny, I was JUST wondering the other day, what "crazy" person would spend the time to make this exact valentine card...well, low and behold... :)
(only to make my store bought vday cards + 6" of packing tape to adhere the sucker, look better)
Congrats, Catherine! You've just won the Hondorp-0ver-achiever mom award! :)
Nicholas' teacher made these last year for her class. However, by the time she actually got them to school, all the earphones were twisted together. It took 3 of us mom's about 10 minutes to untangle them all - LOL!. One of the other moms and I were just recalling this exact situation yesterday.
They are super cute, and hopefully he can get them to school without the whole twisting complication :)
Love the boat, tell him he did a great job.
