The first year Ryan was in school it didn’t occur to me until the night before Valentine’s Day that he would need Valentines for his classmates. Thankfully, I had an overflowing scrapbook supply closet (sorely neglected since I started blogging) and we pulled together 18 handmade Valentines and a decorated box for Valentine collection.
The following year I remembered a week early and while at the store with Ryan told him he could pick out any Valentines he wanted for his classmates.
But we ALWAYS make them!
And that is why my boys always take handmade Valentines to school. It was a tradition born of necessity.
I wanted to share a few of the REJECTED Valentines from Ryan’s first grade year. He and Reid were alone at the table laughing hysterically over this line of cards that never made it to school…
This was the popular “I love you but you steenk”.
Followed by the “I love you but you wer a diper”.
And who could forget the loving, “I love you but you poop”?
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

I can really relate to these valentines… It’s like they were written by my boys!
I knew there had to be a poop joke in there somewhere. Happy VD, you crafty mommy.
Much needed laughter for my hard day. Seeing your posts has me hoping even more than when we have a child, its a boy. So funny….
HAHA!!! Boys actually wrote “I love you”? Isn’t that sort of… cootie-inducing? Or do boys and girls still have cooties?
AWESOME! I have two boys and now I know what to look forward to!
“Cooties”. I wonder if today’s generation of the youth have ever known or used that word. Haven’t heard it in a while. lol.
home made valentines??? i don’t know if we can be friends anymore.
Now I want my kids to make Valentines too, just so I can see what they come up with. Those were great!
AWESOME
I love that you save these, SO precious
xo
Love these
Oh, wow. I have so much to look forward to when my 3-year-old starts to write… the joys of boys!
Looks like blackmail material for the time they reach puberty.
