My Attempt at Being Crafty

I saw this post about how a mom cut out a heart for every day leading up to Valentine's day. She wrote something she loved about each of her children and taped it to their door every night. 

I am not a crafty person.  I am not an organized person but I thought this would be really cute to do for my boys and my husband.

First I thought I would really go above and beyond and do this for the entire month of February.  I did some math and figured out I would need 112 hearts.  I bought colored paper and sat down to trace and cut out my hearts.

I got three hearts cut out and decided this sucked and there had to be an easier way.

I went to the local 'party supplies store' or as I like to call it 'the 7th circle of hell' and found these: 

Day 1:  The oldest wondered what I was putting on "his" door.  The others haven't noticed yet.  Husband has not mentioned any hearts.

Day 2:  The oldest read his and rolled his eyes.  The others haven't noticed yet.  Husband has yet to mention the hearts.

Day 3:  The oldest asked if he could take the hearts down before his friends see them.  The others...sigh... haven't noticed  theirs yet.  Husband has not noticed his freaking hearts yet.

Day 4:  The oldest took his hearts down.  The middle put monster truck stickers on all of the remaining store bought hearts.  The youngest ate half of a heart.  Husband still has not noticed hearts.  He has, however, noticed there is a bed made for him on the couch. 

Day 5:  Screw this...they will all get Valentine's at school and daycare.  Blah...
