Feeling The Love

REPOST FROM 2010:

I'm a fan of Valentines Day.

I didn't used to be back in middle school when I was a homely, overweight kid with messed up teeth.

Seriously.

If I wasn't so embarassed of myself, I'd show you pictures. But I'm pretty sure I threw all the evidence of my "awkward years" away.

But braces were good to me and I ended up losing my baby fat. Then when I married my Main Squeeze, I was able to really enjoy the day for Lovebirds.

And now that I have a Mini Valentine, I want to pass all my love on to her!

I saw this activity over at The Idea Room and thought it would be a fun art project to do with Josie.

We talked about the colors and then we painted her little hands.

Then we smooshed them down to make a heart shape.

This wasn't nearly as messy as I convinced myself it was going to be!

And they turned out SO cute!

Josie has quite a few special people that she wants to claim as her Valentines so we made a whole batch of them!

    I might steal this one and do it with Olivia. The grandparents would die over that one!
