John is still very into pirates. So, of course he wanted pirates as his Valentine's this year. John is VERY specific about his treats he gives his class. Always has been. He wanted his picture from Halloween dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow on his Valentine. So we found the perfect ones for him...
When we got them in the mail, John thought they were too small! Ha! So we went to Hobby Lobby and HE picked out some scrapbook paper for me to mount them on. He thought the black and white hearts looked like a pirate valentine.
Also John's idea was to give his friends "Pirate Booty" and gold coins. He loves Pirate Booty (probably because of the name) and Kroger has these cute little individual sacks. I suggested to lets just do the chocolate gold coins but he begged to give them Pirate Booty too. I must admit, I think it turned out really cute!
The finished Valentine treat!
"YOU ARRR CUTE! LOVE, JOHN"
John was super duper excited to take his Valentines to school. They were just perfect in his eyes. (Miss Bonnie, Sorry for being late to school. I was busy taking pictures!)
Ramsey requested frog Valentines. He actually said he wanted fish Valentines, but we couldn't find any so his second choice was frogs. Ramsey had to take a box to school so his friends could deliver their Valentine's to him.
So we made this cute frog holding one of Ramsey's Valentines.
This is the front of Ramsey's Valentine card.
And the inside. Ramsey found that HUGE bull frog back in the summer and I remembered the bull frog pictures I took of him when I was needing a picture for his card. As I was going back through the pictures I saw the one of him kissing the frog and knew it was perfect for his Valentine. Ramsey was a little hesitant at first and wanted a picture of him just holding the frog. I think he was afraid that his friends would laugh about him kissing a frog. Finally he decided to go with that picture and he was glad he did! All the kids in his class loved it! They kept asking him if he really kissed the frog. Ramsey would reply..."Maybe"...with a big smile.
He was proud to take his frog box to school.
I got the teachers thank you/note cards and attached a little note that said. "Thank you" for being a great teacher!
