Logan's Valentines!

Logan was hard at work tonight putting together 18 Valentines to give to his class members. Okay - that is a lie on many levels considering Logan isn't even at home. We are getting a pretty major storm and since my mom is the one who watches him on Wednesdays she picked him up today at daycare and took him back to her house so she doesn't have to drive in the weather tomorrow morning.

Anyway - Logan being gone gave me the opportunity to get his Valentines done with no little people under foot! Nathan even helped which was a great thing! I go this idea from Joanne at Ready, Set, Craft! here and it seemed pretty easy so I gave it a go. And it actually WAS easy! Go figure!

I printed out the recipe, directions and a "don't let your kid eat this or play unsupervised" note and attached those together with some embroidery floss and stuck that in the little heart full of play doh! (FYI - I did try to eat it - it is NASTY! VERY salty and just all around gross. Even if a kid does take a bite - I doubt they will take a second!)

I think they turned out cute and are a bit more fun than cards. Although - as the class size grows we'll see how much my enthusiasm for hand made valentines continues. :-)


Got everything in the pan ready to stir and I mean stir! My back has been bothering me so I made Nathan do it after a couple minutes!
I decided to make pink play doh!


All laid out and ready to go! I'm going to run them in to daycare tomorrow.

I think they are adorable! I hope the kids like them!

By the way - FINALLY done with the big project at work. Put 55 hours in on just that project alone in the past 7 days and am HAPPY to see this portion of it end! YIPEE! And with the weather my boss told me I could work from home tomorrow. Hmmmm... Logan at my parents, Nathan leaving at 7:30 for work and no NEED to be at my office at 8:30. I think I may sleep in as late as physically possible before work "starts." Although I think I will head in to work at some point.

So - Happy Early Valentine's Day everyone!! What are your plans?
