"mom, can we make valentine cards this year?...and can I make 21 pom-poms to go with them?"






















(while I admit the finished product for all the kids' cards turned out very cute, and we really did have fun making these "Jackson-Pollock-esque" cards with pom-poms attached for G, and robots drawn on the front for W & C, the night before Valentine's Day there was much procrastination, very little patience, definitely annoyance, and maybe yelling and tears that caused me to tell S at the end of the night "NEVER AGAIN!  We are buying them from the store next year!," to which he gave me a look and chuckle that said "yeah right, when your daughter wants to make cards and a craft next year you will TOTALLY  do this again.," and I have to admit he is right - I love Valentine's Day with kids..."

Wow, that is so great! You have such wonderful crafty kids. I don't think J would go for that, O might but I don't know how to make pom poms. Those turned out so great, way to go kidos!
