Valentine Cards

We are a bit early for this one, but I just feel the need to get everything ready because of the uncertainty of the next few weeks. While at the store this past week, we wandered down the Valentine aisle. Benjamin found some bubbles that he really wanted. I thought it would be a perfect thing for him to give to the friends in his class. His preschool is really very good about healthy choices for children so bubbles would be a perfect alternative to the traditional candy. He helped me design the valentine cards on the computer and even a special one for his teacher. While I tied all the bubbles on, Benjamin wrote his name on all 16 cards. I was actually going to break it up into several days worth of work because it might seem daunting, but he was really into it and finished them all over the course of the afternoon. I love his name on the cards! Some are missing a few letters and such, but overall it warms my heart to see him write his name. Here are cards. I think they turned out really great and can't be beat for the $2 expense of the bubbles.
