Valentine's Day

I got the idea to use the kid's thumbprints as hearts from a magazine and decided to make T a card with them. I am pretty pleased without it turned out. The picture is a little blurry for some reason and the colors are a bit muted. It definitely looks better in real life but you get the idea. The whole process of getting the thumbprints was a little more difficult that I expected. G and B really do not appreciate getting their hands dirty and this was no exception. They did enjoy giving the card to Dad though :) (G's thumbprint is pink. B's thumbprint is red. E's thumbprint is purple.)

The inside of the card really is the best. I first asked the kids (separately) if they loved Daddy. They both said yes, of course, and then I asked them why. I wrote what they said on the inside.

I Love Daddy...

"because he is my best boy friend." - G
"because I want to." - B
"because he helps me burp." - E

(E obviously had a little help with her answer, but since she really does burp the best for him, I thought it was appropriate.)
