To celebrate this year:
1) We had a "heart-attack" FHE last week and made a valentine for each member of our family to hang around the kitchen.
2) Joseph (with some help from Beans) created Bentley's valentine box which, you'll never guess, ended up as a shark! It was a true labor of love...meaning Joseph loves that kind of thing and gets totally absorbed by it. Artist that he is...
3) Cares and I made sugar cookies today which we delivered to primary teachers, visiting teaching sisters and babysitters tonight (you can see them in the top pic cooling before we frosted them.)
4) We gave the kids a little valentine's prize once Joseph was home from work.
5) Joseph brought home beautiful red and white flowers for me and we ate a Papa Murphy's heart-shaped pizza for dinner. Pretty good day around here!

Amazing Valentine box made by JOe!
I had fun helping you kids make your Valentine boxes, but too bad I didn't have skills like Joe's! That is a fabulous creation!
I had to show Chad the Shark Valentine box because I was so blown away. Awesome.
Love the shark box. Love. Love. Love. I think your week sounds utterly wonderful. You have great ideas like heart attack and Joseph is sure a good hubby.
Love the shark valentine box! My 5 year old son saw it and wants to make one for his school party. Can you tell me what you used for the body of the shark and the mouth. Thanks
Kelly, the body of the shark is a #10 tin can. You could really use any sort of large cylinder can or box, like a quaker rolled oats container.
The body and mouth are made out of posterboard. You could use construction paper too, but you'd have to use more pieces.
Great! Thanks so much. We will try our artistry this weekend!
Kelly, if you can talk your son into it, the whale was much easier: (scroll down a few pics to see it) http://lebloggin.blogspot.com/2012/02/iphone-pics-today.html
Thanks Joseph but he is pretty set on the shark. We will do our best. Can I ask what you used for the fins?
The sad thing is I just threw the shark away less than a month ago!
I cut the fins out of paper too and hot glued them on. I found a cool papercraft killer whale online and downloaded it to get an idea of how to do the fins. Then I drew my own and cut them out. Hope this helps:
