And now for a story entitled, “My son thinks he was born to Martha Stewart”:
Last year Ryan was in Kindergarten. I was an attentive, but somewhat clueless first time Kindergarten mom. It occurred to me about 30 minutes before his bedtime on Feb. 13 that Ryan probably needed 18 Valentines. Thank God for the crapload of scrapbooking supplies in my closet. We cut, stamped and signed 18 Valentines plus a special edition for the teacher. Whew! I learned my lesson and this year while shopping at the grocery store, I wheeled over to the seasonal area and said, “Let’s pick out your Valentines!” (The exclamation point is needed there because I am just that perky.) To which Ryan replied, “But we ALWAYS make them!” (The exclamation point is needed there because Ryan talks very loudly.) So my dear reader, with the help of B my child took handmade Valentines to school.
And now for a story entitled, “My son’s mother is not Martha Stewart”:
Here are some of the rejected Valentine prototypes:
This is the popular “I love you but you steenk” which goes to show Saxon Phonics would label “stink” as a sight word.
This is the wildly loving “I love you but you poop” which requires no editing or explanation.
And this is the romantic “I love you but you wer a diper”.Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Oh those are gr8 – thx for sharing and for making me giggle! Happy V-day 🙂
(My man is out of town…I say no more.)
I sense a theme.
ah, I was just stopping by over here to copy your address for a link (see blog post later…) and, well, you’re always good for an unexpected laugh! Love the Valentines. Happy Valentine’s Day!
(P.S. My husband and your husband take the same shopping list with them to the store)
Oh those are beyond precious!!! Especially the poop one. What is it with boys & poop? 🙂
“I love you but you steenk” is the card I’m making this summer for my husband; I’ll give it to him when he comes home from woodworking in the hot Texas sun and wants a hug.
I’m totally stealing, “I love you but you poop.” That is classic.
You can get him to GO to the grocery? Mine will not go within 100 yards (which is how close the Italian place is to the store!) of ours.
I love the rejects. Such boy statements!
Can I borrow some of those lines? Nothing says Happy Valentine’s Day like “I love you but you wear a diaper.”
I’ll take the donuts.
OMG, can Blog-Stedman bring donuts to my house? Those look SO good.
Those Valentines are adorable. SO adorable. For V-Day I get a sick (Almost!) 3 year old and a raring to go 6 month old. All I want is a nap. NOT gonna happen.
boys are the best.
