The first year Ryan was in school it didn’t occur to me until the night before Valentine’s Day that he would need Valentines for his classmates. Thankfully, I had an overflowing scrapbook supply closet (sorely neglected since I started blogging) and we pulled together 18 handmade Valentines and a decorated box for Valentine collection.
The following year I remembered a week early and while at the store with Ryan told him he could pick out any Valentines he wanted for his classmates.
But we ALWAYS make them!
And that is why my boys always take handmade Valentines to school. It was a tradition born of necessity.
I wanted to share a few of the REJECTED Valentines from Ryan’s first grade year. He and Reid were alone at the table laughing hysterically over this line of cards that never made it to school…
This was the popular “I love you but you steenk”.
Followed by the “I love you but you wer a diper”.
And who could forget the loving, “I love you but you poop”?
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Love these
AWESOME
I love that you save these, SO precious
xo
Now I want my kids to make Valentines too, just so I can see what they come up with. Those were great!
home made valentines??? i don’t know if we can be friends anymore.
“Cooties”. I wonder if today’s generation of the youth have ever known or used that word. Haven’t heard it in a while. lol.
AWESOME! I have two boys and now I know what to look forward to! 😉
HAHA!!! Boys actually wrote “I love you”? Isn’t that sort of… cootie-inducing? Or do boys and girls still have cooties?
Much needed laughter for my hard day. Seeing your posts has me hoping even more than when we have a child, its a boy. So funny….
I knew there had to be a poop joke in there somewhere. Happy VD, you crafty mommy.
I can really relate to these valentines… It’s like they were written by my boys!
