Valentine's Day Elementary Style

Who thought it was a brilliant idea to make Valentine's Day boxes an at home project? This is the second year in a row that this has happened. The teachers make a contest out of it. Why, can't they just decorate simple boxes at school? I think it's to torture parents! Of course, Christopher being the boy that he is can't make a simple box. That would be too easy for me. It's got to be this 3 tiered job. The project began on Wednesday and continued Thursday. I got to tell you, by the time we got home Thursday night from house hunting, that was the last thing I wanted to do. Unfortunately he did not win.
