What I realized today is that I can't continue to disguise my competitiveness by calling it a different name. And why should I disguise it? The truth is.... I must be the best at everything I do and I want to be better than the next guy. Is that so horrible really?
Now having said that, I realize I'm not the fastest runner, I'll never win my age group in a race and no one is inviting me to the olympic games. I accept my average self when it comes to my physical abilities, but I make up for it in other areas.
For instance, my kids WILL have the best home made valentines. See my favorite Valentine EVER here.
I Dig You Valentine
The idea for this valentine came from Pinterest (where else) and all the "how to" is in this blog post from the Fry Family Blog. Here is my take on this cute Valentine.
First gather your supplies.
- Treat bags. I used clear because I had them but Valentine's one would be too cute
- Scissors
- Ribbon
- 2 inch punch (optional)
- Hole punch
- Mini Shovels
- M&Ms
- Tags (print here)
Punch "I dig you tags" with 2 inch punch (or just cut out circle) and have your child address the labels. Ella added each child's name to the bottom and wrote her name on the back.
Add shovel to your bag and then add a few scoops of M&Ms.
Put a hole punch in the top of your label, thread ribbon through the hole,. and secure bag closed with ribbon.
Ok, ok maybe these are not the best Valentine's ever, but if you say otherwise I might stab you with a spoon.
