Remember the Valentine’s Day goodies<\/a> I posted about last week? I did finish the goodie bags during the week, but that Valentine box? Yeah….it didn’t get started until today. Thankfully, it also got finished today…and then partially destroyed (there is a toddler in the house, and he was helping–you do the math)…and then refinished (sort of–I admit I left it a little rough, still, since it’s supposed to be a toddler’s making).<\/p>\n

I really wanted Sam to help with this, or at least to feel like he helped (which is really more the case). So, while I wrapped the box and cut the hole in the top, he made a huge mess with the art supplies and practiced his cutting and gluing. He did put some cute puffy stickers on, and he helped with some of the gluing (have I mentioned he’s really into the gluing?).<\/p>\n

Pictures really do show it better, so…enjoy.<\/p>\n
