Funny Valentines

posted May 18, 2009 at 1:25pm

Mustaches are everywhere these days (the new owl!) so why not on Annabelle’s valentines? We had a lot of fun making these. Here are the directions.

It was a good day. Sophie wrote all of her valentines (Olivia the Pig, of course) in one sitting.without complaint. A small miracle. Now, to be honest, you couldn’t read any of them (particuarly her own name, which she wrote “in cursive,” which meant a quick scribble — which is fair, considering what my signature looks like) so I made tags with names and put her valentines and some candy in a bag then tied them up with the tags on the outside. That took a while.

But  it’s all done, leaving time tomorrow for the science fair projects. It’s become a friendly competition of sorts — Annabelle and Ray  vs. Sophie and me. Sophie and I are ahead of the game; our carousel is built, photos are developed, the backboard’s even underway. They only just purchased the materials to build a zoetrope this afternoon. But we’ve got some worthy opponents.

I’ll report back.
