It's tough to be a five-year-old, infatuated with all things Valentine's Day, wanna-be decorator, when your Mom's complete collection of Valentine's decorations consists of this:
Three little metal buckets with heart-shaped cut-outs (courtesy of the $1 bin at Target) and... you might have to squint to see them... seven heart ornaments that hang from the curtain rods.
Compared to the Christmas decor, which I finally took down over the weekend, this is such a let down.
And so Sydney asked if she could make some Valentine's decorations of her own. What a great solution! She's busy being creative and constructive. And I don't have to listen to her whine about not getting to watch what she wants on TV.
Beware of giving a five-year-old, infatuated with all things Valentine's Day, wanna-be decorator free reign with paper, markers and tape. I now have decorations on cupboards,
the entertainment center
and a chest.
Look closely, that's not just any heart. It's a
Valenti
ne
heart. (Why must these holidays have such long names?!?)
And this is all after just one day. We've got almost a full month to go. I wonder if my tape supply will last.
