The Box-osaurus and Some Valentine's Fun

We have been busy crafting up a storm lately, and not just because Valentine's Day is tomorrow!
One of Will's homework assignments this week is to make a box-osaurus (basically just a dinosaur model out of boxes). Will chose a triceratops and we enlisted the help of the grandparents. Will had the vision, Nana provided some boxes, Grampa wielded the scissors and hot glue gun, and Gramma kept Henry occupied!
I don't think we could have done this project without Grampa's help! Will's triceratops turned out super cute.
Will also worked on this beautiful heart mobile for several weeks in his after-school art class.
First they had to roll the clay into snakes and fit the clay into heart shapes. After it was fired, the kids glazed the hearts and it was fired again. The result is gorgeous! View from the back...
Yesterday, we had Chloe and Bella over for our second annual Valentine's playdate. Belinda brought all the ingredients for the kids made penguins out of Oreos and candy corn.



The kids love edible crafts!

This morning was Henry's Valentine's Day party at school, which, of course, meant more crafts. Henry decorated his bagwith heart stickersand then all the kids had to place their friends' cards in the correct bag.
They also decorated picture frames.

Box-o-saurus completed? Check. Valentine's crafts done? Check. Special Valentine's fun with our besties and many a sweet tooth satisfied? Check and check. It's only Monday, but I'd say Valentine's week is off to a great start!
