A Valentine Craft

Today Mommy was itchin' to do a Valentine's Day card project with you two.  Mommy spent all morning trying to decide how and what to do.  While you guys were napping Mommy found a sign online that I really liked and thought it would be neat to reproduce, but with an added special touch of course :)  The sign read "You make me happy when skies are gray."  Mommy thought this was a perfect message for Valentine's Day and all the colors were very cheerful. However, you two are both still so young and really not all that into crafts yet, so Mommy spelled out the words with colorful letters.  After doing this, Mommy laid the papers out and put paint on your hand Bodhi, and your foot Jude, and you guys put your little hand and foot print on the picture.  Bodhi, I think we are going to do this again because you really loved it... you knew to put your hand on the paper and Mommy just added some pressure on your hand.  Mommy thinks you would have kept going had we been prepared.  Mommy and Daddy has tried to get you, Bodhi, interested in crayons and markers but you quickly lose interest... however, paint might just be your thing :) Grandmoo, GiGi, and Kelly will love these!
