Best Crafty Dad

We got back from our ski trip and Emma announced Thursday evening (on way to soccer practice) that she needed a Valentine's box Friday, even though her party is the following week.  I tried to tell her we would make one over the weekend and that it would not be a big deal to bring the box Monday since the party is Wednesday.  She did not like this option and was worried she would be in trouble, so we stopped by Target at 8 p.m. on our way home from soccer to see what we could come up with.  I was hoping they would have an already made one, or a kit that is easy to do.  Nope, nothing like that to be found.  So, Emma picked out a few random Valentines decorations and we headed home with no idea what we were going to do.  I had been up since 4:30 a.m. and was ready for dinner and bed when we got home, so Chris offered to help Emma make her box.  I went to bed and woke up to find the coolest Valentines Box EVER!  Chris and Emma did awesome! She woke up so excited about her box and couldn't wait to take it to school. She came home from school talking about how her box was everyone's favorite. Thank goodness for crafty Chris!
