Ruby Tuesday: A Handmade Valentine

Look at what our 7 year old son made for my husband and myself in honor of Valentine's Day!  This was an art class project.  He is so proud of this hand crafted card and rightly so.  I think he did an excellent job.  This is definitely one that will go in my keepsake box.

Mother's Day 2010 Photos (Part 1)

This Mother's Day, my 6yr old son had a surprise for me. He actually told me he had a surprise for me the week before and then asked me where he should hide it so I wouldn't see it.

It turned out that he had made a beautiful card for me with a poem inside. Here is the translation:

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Apples are sweet

And so are you.

To accompany the card, he also made this beautiful handcrafted pendant on a ribbon necklace. I think he did a great job, don't you? I can totally see why he was so proud and excited to present it to me. His 3yr old brother said he thought it looked like a meatball with ice cream on it. I think that was meant to be a compliment because it sounds like something he would actually eat.

Below are photos of me with each of my beautiful children . . .

Look for more photos to come from Mother's Day dinner at my sister's and brother-in-law's house.
