Valentine's Day Fun

So me and the kids spent quality time together preparing Valentine's Day collection boxes. A time to celebrate love, and friendship . . . and laughter! So the 7 year old had something pretty standard. We found a link to a three-eyed monster made from a Puffs box.

And for the precious little princess . . . A toilet bowl. All dressed in red wrapping paper. With the handle to flush that actually moved (thank you, Dad, for the engineering) and toilet paper roll, too.

Sounds crazy, I know, but after a crazy busy day at work, I pick the kids up to head home and the little princess tells me she won the contest for best Valentine's box. And I'm giddy... "What did the teacher say?" Did you have the frog sitting on the toilet to display it? Did people really put your valentines in the toilet box?". I sound like an 11-year old girl myself.

But this I will remember. Because we made it together. And I agreed not to put it on Instagram since some of her friends follow me and we didn't want to give it away before friends got to school.  It was something we shared. Making a Valentine's Day Toilet. How can I NOT remember that forever?
