The girls and I have never made "homemade" Valentines so I thought it would be fun to do that this year. (I must have forgotten to take my meds the day I decided this!) Last week they picked what they wanted to make, Saturday we made a trip to Kearney for supplies, and Sunday we created. Emma made ipods and Addie made heart-shaped crayons. For the record, these were not my creations. We found them in the magazine Family Fun. I love this magazine. There are fun crafts, recipes, parenting articles. Look into it!
For ipods, you start with a box of candy hearts. We also went to the Family Fun website for the templates of the front of the ipod that Emma already cut out.
We taped 2 Reece's Peanut Butter Cups to pieces of yarn for the earphones and then taped the yarn to the box.
Then we covered the boxes in red paper and glued on the templates. You'll have to look at the picture close-up to see the song titles.
All done and ready for the party!
For Addie's project we started by peeling the paper off crayons.
Even Luke got into this! His favorite part was making a big mess!
We filled the heart shaped muffin tin with the crayons and put them in the oven for 15 minutes at 250 degrees.
Just out of the oven.
I thought these turned out pretty neat!
We haven't completely finished them. Here is a copy of the magazine page and how the finished product will look.

On to the "Tummies" portion of the title.....
We got some TCBY for our ride home from Kearney on Saturday and Addie informed me that whenever she eats "her tummy has a party"!

And later that day she told me that my stinky feet smell like tortillas.
Nice.
