Braeden needed to make a Valentine's Mailbox for his class Valentine's exchange. The sheet suggested using a shoebox or a coffee can. Oh, no. Not for this creative child. He decided he was going to make it out of wood. He had a complete vision. He built a "inbox" looking thing out of wood with his own tools (with Dad's guidance). Then, he painted it with craft paint to look like a hockey rink and I helped him hot glue some hockey guys, that I saved from a birthday cake, onto the box (I knew those figures would come in handy some day). Brad had to drive him to school the day he brought it in, because it was solid. Did I mention there was a decorating competition involved? He won 1st place! We, also, have another tradition in our family of making our Valentine's cards. Preston drew Star Wars Lightsabers and we color copied them. We wrote "May the Force Be With You" on the inside. Braeden wrote I'm cocoa for you and decorated some envelopes with hot chocolate tucked inside. I love this yearly tradition.

Braeden,
You're very creative. Loved the hockey box. Preston the light sabers were really cool.
