So I was thinking this weekend that I needed to come up with a cute, original Valentine’s gift for Connor’s teacher.
I was totally inspired by my friend Carrie’s Candy Heart Wreath, but everything I tried….fell short.
Then the kids started playing with the candy hearts (check out my post on Fri for exactly what they were doing) and eventually started eating them…so I had to think fast.
That’s when I saw the ornament still sitting next to my computer (yes I know…don’t judge) and I thought, “I bet I could shove candy hearts in there!”
And guess what?
IT WORKED!
I had a couple of those plastic ornaments left over and I just started shoving candy hearts in.
Then I thought it needed a bit of sparkle, so I dumped some glitter in.
Then I found my white paint pen and wrote on it.
I was feeling sooooo crafty!
I showed my husband and Connor.
I said, “Don’t you think your teacher will like this?”
My husband said, “Or maybe Allie?”
Connor giggled a little and smiled.
I gave Dave a dirty look for suggesting that a Kindergarten boy give presents to a Kindergarten girl.
So I said, “Ok, well would you like to give it to your teacher or Allie?”
Connor said, “Allie!”
I said, “You know it says ‘Love, Connor’ on it, right?”
He said, “That’s ok.”
UGH!
And now I have two problems…
1) a budding Kindergarten romance
and the bigger problem…
2) I gotta come up with something else creative for his teacher!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
