Valentine's Box

Yesterday was Valentine's Day, and my 8 year old had to have a decorated box for his class party. He decided he wanted it to look like a truck. Well, we put it off until the last minute, and had to throw something together pretty quick. I wanted to share it with y'all.

Sorry there's no picture of the process, like I said, we were in a hurry. Also, these pictures were taken after he came home. That's why some of our flames and a license plate are half falling off. So, this is made out of a shoebox and a pop tarts box. The windows are strips of duct tape, and I got on the computer and printed out some flames and made custom license plates. We stuck heart stickers on as headlights.

My younger son is very jealous of this truck, so we decided to make an even better one this weekend. I will take pictures of that one, I swear!

On a side note about Valentine's Day, I bought three heart baloons from the dollar store for $1 a piece: 1 for each kid. BEST IDEA I'VE EVER HAD! I got a sweet hug from Jett (age 6) with a "You're the best, Mom." Jace (age 8: thinks he's too cool for everything) gave me a guinuine smile, and uttered "cool" as he walked off. And June (age 2) screamed and squeeled for a few minutes, and then spent hours giggling and playing with it. Best $3 I've ever spent; I have definately found a new tradition!
