Valentines Day

Today is Valentines Day and the Canadians just love it.  Last time we were here I got caught out by the  extent of the celebrations so this year I was a bit more prepared.  Each child has to make or buy a Valentine for everyone in their class, so feeling quite creative, I encouraged the children to make them....with mixed results!

 This is Lucy's.  She worked really hard with the cutting and just needed a bit of help with the eyes.

 This is Charlie's.  He loves origami and painstakingly folded each one while following a demonstration on youtube..it took him hours!

This one is Ned's.  It was all his own idea because he wanted to create a box to put chocolates in for his class mates...nothing too girly, he'd also been learning about nets at school.  But....when it came down to it, guess who was the mug who ended up cutting out 20 bloody boxes.   More fool me!!

On a different note...Helen, Chloe and Sam arrive tonight and we are soooo excited!!!
