the valentine's rush

today is the equivalent of christmas eve at 3pm for lazy husbands.

tomorrow is valentine's day, and i have two pint-sized valentines to love and adore {plus the full-sized one}.

ella's valentine party at school is actually on friday, so the fact that we haven't technically assembled her valentines works just fine.  we might even do that on valentine's day....such a concept.  we went super easy this year, and i thought i'd share:


just size them to 2" x 4", and you'll be set.  then take a candy heart {we're using crunch hearts}, and stick it on the end of the arrow.  super easy, plus ella gets to use tape, which is akin to winning the lottery for her.  she wrote her name on the back and adorned the back with a number of gaudy stickers. win, win, and win.

as for our valentines to the kiddos, i'm making some softies.  henry has a newfound obsession with stuffed animals, and ella only has about 984 in her collection, so obviously needs more.  naturally, i haven't started them, but i'm going with these ideas:
