Time for the annual Gulde tradition of creating a family Valentine box. If all goes according to plan, it gets decorated and put in a prominent place at the beginning of February. Valentines are made and dropped in the box for family members for two weeks. I do my best to write one thing I love about each of the kids everyday. On Valentines Day, we sit down at dinner and read them to each other. So fun.
I just wrapped a box with brown paper, put a slit at the top, and the kids glued paper doilies from the dollar store on it. So easy for little hands. Sometimes, okay…a lot of the time, I tend to want to get too complicated with them. It’s such a great reminder that a glue stick and some doilies can be a legit craft. No need to pull out paints and all that craziness. 😉




Francis taking her job very seriously. 😉


George giving me one of his signature fake smiles. Don’t let it fool you though…he loves crafting.


Happy with their creation.
