Monday night during FHE Chandler announced that he had to pass out Valentines this year (the 4th grade in his school hasn't ever exchanged Valentines so this was a surprise to me). Our tradition has always been to make our own Valentines. With Tom out of town, the girls both sick and my plate feeling oh so full I just knew there was no way I could pull off homemade. Cache sensed my panic and immediately offered his help. Of course when you enlist Cache's help, it comes with quirks and all. . . all of us who know him well get a kick out of him, but I'm not quite sure what fellow 4th graders are going to think! Here are the two versions they made. Then they stapled some candy to the card. The most comical thing about it all was listening to Cache convince Chandler that these were very cool valentines. That boy could be a very good lawyer if he chose! I don't think Chandler was ever entirely convinced, but caved to big brother's persuasion. (but what a relief to not have to even worry one bit about them. Thanks, Cache, you are a lifesaver!)

Oh Darcee, this made me laugh. I had to come up with Valentines for all four kids in elementary. Gabriel has been really sick also and won't let me put him down. So just as I was about to run to the store and spend money we didn't have, I thought, why don't I let the kids do it all themselves.
I pulled out the big crafts box and they went right to work...no help from me at all. They LOVED it and each came up with something different. I just asked them if they liked buying them better and they said they liked making them more. They even cleaned up themselves.
Cache seems like such a fun kid. That was really sweet.
