And As Promised
My uber cute boy and the projects we worked on this weekend. 
First, the Valentines. ‘We’ (meaning mommy did the work, Gabe told mommy to use any color but pink…ok, he did decide that he wanted a smiley face and a heart, and he did write his name on a piece of paper for me to import into the image…) made these Saturday night, then put them together on Sunday. I LOVE THEM! I’m ready to do this every year!
When I was taking the pictures of them, he begged to pose behind them. He’s so proud of them! (do you see the thumbs up sign??? LOL!)
Lastly, he also had a project due for his class. HIS VERY FIRST PROJECT! WOO HOO!!!!! He was soooooooooooo thrilled to be able to legitimately ‘play’ with all of the toys in my office. First we cut the title on my Wishblade (which is probably his favorite of all of my toys). He glued them using my glue pen, then just *HAD* to use the brayer to make sure they would stick. After putting the photos on there, he was allowed to write w/ my galaxy markers. Then he came up with the brilliant idea of punching stars around the edges. He finished it with some of the Hambly stickers that Allison sent (thank you again!) and some of my old old old Creative Memories stickers. (seeee, Traci - THIS is why I haven’t thrown stuff away! I knew it would come in handy!!!) OMG, I cannot tell you how much fun I had doing a project like this with him. Totally the highlight of my week!!!!!!!
Oh, and do you see the sentence he wrote under 2002’s picture???
“Mommy takes lots of pictures.”
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yeah, lets just say that finding pictures for this project wasn’t really very difficult. 
Hey! The Valentines are awesome - great idea.
I speak from experience when I tell you I see many, many more school projects in your future. :p

The valentines were so so cute! (I wimped out this year and let the girls use boxed valentines…way too much on my plate.)
His school project looks great too. We are getting ready to do science fair projects and I can’t wait to use my Wishblade to cut titles. (Neither can my 10 year old daughter who has recently learned how to use it!)
