All artsy fartsy up in this piece
At the moment, it looks like Saint Valentine himself threw up on our living room.
I tried to step things up a notch from last year. I got my ideas for this year's valentines from here and here. For the teachers, I got these super cute travel cups. Now I sort of wish I had gotten one for myself.
I couldn't care less about Valentine's Day, but I do love making valentines. It gives me a chance to put my very expensive art degree to use. Ahhh, just what my parents had in mind, I'm sure.
Speaking of the art, the kids from Greta's day care are going to have an art opening tomorrow night on RIT campus. The name of the show is "Little Artists Make it Big." I CAN'T WAIT. I am so excited for Greta's first art opening. I'm sure it will be many for our little future artist-doctor-musician. (What? I have high expectations for our little girl. Is that so wrong?)
Greta continues to bring cool artwork home from school. Recently they were learning all about pengins, and Greta brought this home. I love it! In case you can't tell, it's a pine cone with a shredded cotton ball sort of wrapped around it, and then of course the face and the soup cup igloo. So creative.
She also brought this home earlier this month. Can you guess what it is? Hint: It came home on February 2nd.
Speaking of high expectations, sometimes I think they have some sort of smarty-pants-making plan in the works for the kids at day care. As I've discussed previously, sometimes they get scrap paper for the kids to draw on, and recently we've been getting drawings on information like this:
If Greta becomes a artist-renologist-musician, then I'll know who likely deserves credit.

Taryn - That's too funny! I asked myself the same thing...
#2 You can tell we're BFFs
You can tell we're BFFs because I made the same valentines! the flower ones with the dumdums! As I cut out 26 flowers I wondered why we do this, couldn't I just let him scribble on a Thomas the Train valentine?
#3 Nice!
V - Glad to hear it. I knew what it was right away too, but I showed it to a friend and she couldn't tell what it was. So I thought maybe I had super kids' artwork interpreting abilities. This is a really cute one. The head of the groundhog is on a popsicle stick that pokes through the bottom of the cup so you can peek his head in and out. What will they think of next?

Even without the hint, I knew that was Puxatony Phil emerging from his hole. I think "artist" is a good assumtion.
