iLoves For Valentines Day

What ever happened to the old fashioned way of giving Valentines: Going to the supermarket, grabbing a box of the latest and greatest cartoon character's cheap paper Valentines (and if you're lucky, one super-sized Valentine included for your teacher!)??

This year, Morgan chose these CUTE iLoves to give to her classmates - pink for the girls and blue for the boys... and one happy purple one for her BFF Haley. Olivia even jumped on the bandwagon and made some for her girlfriends.

I love creative people who not only come up with this stuff, but share their wonderful ideas with the rest of us.

(iLove idea found on FamilyFun.com - link here.)

21 VERY much appreciated comments:

Jeralee said...: What a cute, cute idea!

I know, Valentines day has been blown up. Moura lamented to me that she was going to be the only person not giving candy with her's this year. I reminded her that she did them all by hand, cutting pasting.

With Charlise, we just took bits from cheap valentines from the previous years and wrote names on them. It was a montage of Rugrats, Tweety Brid, Maya and Miguel, Dora the Explorer and some Incredibles. The Rugrats cards had been in there for YEARS. LOL; February 13, 2009 at 1:13 AM

Laurie said...: Very cute idea; but I'm secretly glad my boys are too young to try it yet.; February 13, 2009 at 12:06 PM
SusieQ said...: We found that cute idea in Family Fun magazine, too. My girls made 64 of them! They turned out totally cute, but took a LOT LOT longer than I had ever imagined!; February 13, 2009 at 1:28 PM
Margaret said...: I love the earphones! Such a creative idea.; February 13, 2009 at 1:43 PM
rachel said...: SUSAN! 64 of them?!?!?! Holy cow, lady. That would've sent me to the looney bin for sure. I thought 30+ was horrid. Good on ya! :); February 13, 2009 at 2:27 PM
Anonymous said...: Wow. I'm SO IMPRESSED! What creative kids you have!; February 13, 2009 at 2:30 PM
Unknown said...: I would totally do the cheap stuff but this idea is way cuter and more current with the times. What will be funny is in 15 years when you're kids say "remember when ipods were so cool" because they'll be so outdated by then with something new....sigh good memories!; February 13, 2009 at 3:18 PM
BURGANS BUNCH said...: Those are so cute! I kid you not, one girl in my class was describing these to me last night! That's a coinky dink! Happy V Day to you all! love Jenn; February 13, 2009 at 6:42 PM

Cuteness

{June 2013} Watching her favorite movie Lemonade Mouth, Delaney declares she wants to change her name to Stella. I asked her if I should start now calling her "Stella"? "No", she decided... "I'll change my name when I'm older."

{October 2012} Christian age 6 "My teacher says we can't pick our boogers. That sucks!"

{September 2012} Delaney age 4 "Thank you for making a real dinner, Mommy."

{September 2012} Morgan age 13 "I want to marry a Canadian with an Irish accent."

{May 2012} As Christian went to fetch popsicles for our sore throats, Delaney exclaimed, "Bubba's a good man!"

{December 2011} Delaney: My sexy and my know it!

{August 2011}

Christian said to Delaney, "I love you so much. Don't grow up!"

Delaney responds with panic in her voice, "I not BLOW up!!"

{April 2011}

Delaney pronounces her v's as b's, so TV is TB, movie is moobie...

{April 2011}

Morgan - "My sandwich broke in half so I had to tape it back together with peanut butter."

{April 2011}

Morgan - There's smart and then there's MORGAN smart!"

{May 2010}

Delaney pronounces "Morgan" as "Middy"... cute! Olivia was making fun of it relating "Middy" to "MEDIEVAL" emphasis on the EVIL. Morgan struck back by saying, "At least I'm MID-evil and not FULL-evil!"

{April 2010}

Christian's prayer today had these two sweet phrases in it: "Bless Delaney to laugh and to hug me" and "Bless Jesus Christ to love us."

{March 2010}

Morgan: Mom, what's the hardest job in the world?

Mom: Being a mom.

Morgan: Oh. I thought it was being the President of the United States' wife.

{March 2010}

Christian refers to Delaney as "Cutie Queen"

{January 2010}

I was saying Morgan smelled like gardenias... but she corrected me saying that was Olivia's flower - hers was Pomeranian!!! LOL (she meant plumeria!)

{December 2009}

Christian: "Mom, can I get some help in here??"

Me: "What do you need?"

Christian: "YOU!"

Christian {December 2009}

Yelling out the open window to cars driving down the road: "Cars. Why are driving? Are you going home? Hey car! See you later."

Carly {November 2009}

After being taught the phrase, "That's what she said!", Carly mistakenly said, "She said that!" instead.

LOL

Not the same effect, unfortunately.

Christian {October 2009}
Buckling into our seats on the Star Tours ride in Disneyland, Christian ever so casually asked me, "Am I going to die?"

Grandma Sally {September 2009}
Mom and I were sitting at dinner one night chatting about shoes. She was trying to remember the name of a specific brand... it went a little something like this:
Grandma Sally: What are those shoes called? They're plastic. Gators?
Rachel: Crocs??
Gators... Crocs... same same, right?

Christian {August 2009}

On our walk one afternoon looking up at the sky, we see the moon. It was a half moon... and Christian's response was, "It's BROKEN??"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
I made brown rice with dinner one night and added a bit too much water, making the rice very sticky. Martin commented that it's okay that way... the more water in it helps it to digest faster in our systems. Morgan commented, "Oh. That's why pee comes before poo!"

Olivia {Jan. 2009}
Morgan made a comment about Indians (Native Americans) and Olivia corrected her by saying, "Morgan, Indians are from India. Native Americans are the ones with the feathers right here". (right here was demonstrated with two fingers over her head.) Good thing she corrected her politically incorrect sister!

Christian {Jan. 2009}
"Dis is bewy good! Dis is bewy bewy yummy in my tummy!"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
Referring to a person of Hispanic origin: "Spanishkin"

Morgan {Jan. 2009}
I asked Morgan to get the Quaker oats from the pantry. Not knowing what exactly I was talking about, she asked, "Is it the can with the English man on it?" We laughed at that comment... so to correct herself, she asked, "Or is it Lewis or Clark??"

Morgan {Dec. 2008}
"Mom, what's the difference between hypocrite and Republican?"

Wanted to go home from church early because she was SORE from playing the Wii!!! Martin calls her whining "WiiWaaaaaa".

Sticks his fingers into his nose then quickly into his mouth.
I say to him, "Don't do that. That's yucky."
He responds, "It tastes good! It's my food!!"
