Just for fun, my kids got out the craft box and spent hours this past weekend making valentines for everyone in the family. They happily worked together laughing and joking, and praising each others creativity. It was great!
They set up a mail station in the hallway upstairs. I was waiting to take a picture til the end because it was pretty amazing and every time I walked by, it had grown. Only problem was that by the time they were finished, they asked Jared and I to wait in the living room and then everything was delivered. No mail station picture.
They started off by putting on a little skit. We asked them to do it twice. It had nothing to do with Valentine's Day or love letters, but it was cute. Then, the dispersed an even amount of valentines to each person in the family, including Emma's doll.
Here was my stash.
This was one of my favorites!
I love that amongst all the sibling rivalry, grumpy mornings or tattle-telling, my kids can have weekends like this where they don't seem to mind that we aren't going out to movies or getting ice cream, and they don't care that friends aren't available to play with, they just have fun together which as a parent is so satisfying. 
Hunter told me this was the most fun he's had in soo long and the girls quickly agreed. I'll be replenishing the craft box with paper and stickers this week!

So sweet. They've gotten such an early start, I can't wait to see what they'll do for Valentine's Day.
That is so sweet! It just goes to show that it's not always the big things that make great memories! Now I know what I can do with my boxes of craft paper, stickers and stamps that collect dust in the back of my closet! :) You're kids are adorable and I LOVE Hunters Valentine's card for you!
