Big Love

Valentines Day is another "Rite of Passage" holiday for kids.  In my mind, it carries the same weight as Halloween.  And we all know how much planning, and preparation, and mind-changing happens at Halloween. 

Valentine's Day is all about decorating the ever important Valentine's Box.  It has to be "just so".  And, the even more important cards.  It's always a huge decision making process for them to decide who gets which Valentine card.  And when the kids get home from school on that day, it's fun to listen to them speculate as to why they got the cute kitten card from a boy that is funny, and other significant details that they notice. 

My daughter decided to cut some felt "love letters" for her box this year.  She stitched the L and the O, then ran out of steam.  I stitched  the V and the E.  I "loved" how htey looked on my windowsill yesterday with the sun streaming in. 

What kind of Valentine's Prep are you up to?
