Valentine's Day, 2nd Grade Style

I am not a Valentine's hater, I just want to put that out there right now. But, I don't think anyone will argue the fact that as an adult, Valentine's Day is much more fun if you have a significant other. As a kid, however, Valentine's Day is always fun- what kid doesn't like a holiday that involves free candy? Think about it though, you get to decorate a shoebox, you buy cards with your favorite characters for your friends, and everybody in your class brings you candy and cards.

A few of my coworkers are married or dating, but most of us are single. As we were planning our Valentine's party this year, one girl suggested Valentine Mailboxes and we all LOVED the idea. We went all out decorating boxes and buying Valentines. Some people did personal, home-made, well thought out Valentines. Not me. I figured as long as we were going 2nd grade-style, I needed 2nd grade-style Valentines. I bought Disney Princess Valentines, but we had a full array of character cards- CARS, Power Rangers, Speed Racer, Shrek, and Madagascar to name a few. I haven't had that much fun on Valentines Day for a LONG time!

Here are a few pictures of our beautiful boxes:
I was pretty proud of the way it turned out.
He may have enjoyed decorating a little too much.
