Making Valentine's Day Cards

I am a sucker for home-made anything, so it was only natural that we would get out the stickers, paint, markers, punches and papers to make Valentines for Nana & Papa, Grandma, the Uncles and Aunties and cousins and friends. Jeff was at a game with my dad, so it was quite the undertaking to get all the gear out! I don't know if they made quite enough cards to give them to everyone they intended to but they sure had a lot of fun making them. I have to admit that the paint didn't last long because it took too long to dry before you could do anything else to it, so we stuck to markers, stickers and punches.

Ali Jane is usually the craftier of the two, though this time it was Joe who was all about making more Valentines. He had fun decorating his with stickers mostly. Though he can write his name, he didn't feel like putting them on his Valentines... perhaps we'll work on that part tomorrow! Ali Jane spends a lot of time on one project usually, so she only made about 5 cards.

Where was Zachy while we were doing this? Trying to eat the Valentines, so eventually he became just a spectator like me!
