Just Me Being Me: 'Twas the Night before Valentines Day

'Twas the night before Valentines Day and all through the house

Every mother was busy just like a louse

The Pintrest boards were open and the craft stuff layed out with care

The kids wanted the ones from the store but you said 'I wouldn't dare'

The children were nestled all snug in their beds

while visions of writing their name 27 times flitted through their heads

With my sizzors at the ready, and with the rough draft

I had just settled down for a long evening of craft

So did anyone else come up with a great idea for their kid(s) Valentines cards weeks ago....and then forget all about it? Yup that's me. Thank-you free printables on Pintrest.

So did anyone else not want to send chocolates or candy to add to the copious amounts the kids will already be getting? Yup, that's me. Well I guess is sucks to be in my kid's class then. Thank-you Target for 10 pencils for a $1.

So did anyone else let their kids procrastinate writing out the card and then have to write their name 27 times in one afternoon. Yup that's me. Thank-you bribery - we call it positive reinforcement at our house.

So this is how our prep went down:

Getting started writing his name...

"How many times do I need to write my name?"
