Valentines Day

At the beginning of February we went to a little workshop at Home Depot and built a Valentines Day box (I love the free, first Saturday of the Month projects at Home Depot). We spent a couple days painting them and about a week before Valentines day put them outside our front door just in case any friends wanted to bring by a special note or candy :-). It was a huge success! Many of our neighbors stopped by with a special treat and the boys were constantly checking their boxes in the morning and after naps. We had fun making valentines for our friends too. I think the boys loved the "sneaking" part the best. I asked Nathaniel if we should ring the doorbell and run and he said, "No, let's scamper away like squirrels!" We even had a few mystery valentines which was fun. Sadly I told the boys we would have to put our box away until next year.
