For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

Heart Animal Valentines

Have you ever read the book My Heart Is Like a Zoo? The artwork is so much fun! All of the animals are created with hearts of various colors and sizes.

My children have been busy this week creating Valentine's for their cousins, friends, and mom & dad using the illustrations in the book as a guide.

Even 6-year-old Special Dark has been able to figure it out! My favorite is his bear. He likes the frog the best.

If you are looking for something fun and different to do with your kids for Valentine's Day this would be a great activity. I've included a few animals in the photos below showing the pieces you'll need and how they come together.

  4. Very cute! I will have to track down a copy of that book. We did a simple frog picture valentine card with the words "hoppy valentine's" for my 8 yr old's class. She was adamant that they not say love or kiss me, etc. I was happy to oblige that request :)

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
