The kids had to bring their valentines boxes to school to be judged in a school wide contest. There were different themes for each grade. This year Janette’s theme was “I love Utah” She designed this box all by herself. I just sewed the seams so that she could put the coat hangers through to make the wagon’s canopy. But she did the gathering on the ends by herself. The platform that the “box” is on is in the shape of Utah as well. That was her idea.
Logan’s theme was “Love Bug”. We were going to do a paper mache spider but being the wholly unprepared mother that I am didn’t realize that paper mache is at least a three day project. They were lucky that we got the boxes done on time as it was. We got home around 9:30 that night (more on that to come). Logan enjoyed putting all the bugs on his box.
Jason also knew exactly what he wanted for his box. His theme was “Nursery rhymes”. He did Humpty Dumpty. I had envisioned an awesome paper mache egg whose head cracked open for those to put valentines in but ran into the same problem as above. This turned out cute though.
It was also Jason’s 100th day at school. They were asked to come to school with 100 things on their shirt. We went with heart stickers since we had that on hand.
I love the boxes. Connor’s class didn’t do anything like that. Being new to the whole school thing, I just didn’t get the whole 100 days thing. I like how your’s had the kids put things on their shirts. I have a rubber band ball roaming around my house, just waiting for the kids to fight over.
