Valentine's Day Cards- My Kids Are No Fun

Thanks to Pinterest I found a cute idea for Valentines Day cards for my son to hand out at nursery school. His school does not let you bring in candy so I guess crayons it is. Even better, for their Valentine's Day party I am bringing in string cheese- they had a sign up list with that, strawberries and napkins on it. What, no stinking cupcakes? What kind of party doesn't have stinking cupcakes!!

Anyways... My kids were into making the heart crayons for about five minutes which left me sitting there peeling all of the stupid paper off all by myself. Isn't it annoying when you think your kids are really going to enjoy an activity and they end up not caring whatsoever about it?

Oh well, I think they are cute. I love making stuff like this- I will literally cry the day that my son decides he would rather use store bought cards. 

Take Your Green and Shove It...

Today my son's nursery school sent home a Spring newsletter and in it they said they were having a bring someone special to school day. Awww, how cute I thought and then I saw what the theme was. Think Green.

Think Green? Are you kidding me? Why does my almost four year old need to think green when he should be thinking how to listen to his mommy when she tells him to do something. Why can't the theme be something normal like summer time or friendship? I am really getting irritated with this whole "green" bandwagon and the fact that people even call it being green (so lame- and that is coming from someone who drives a stinking minivan).

Do we really need to label everything? Can't the fact that I recycle be just because I don't want to buy tons of expensive town trash bags? Can't the fact that I reuse stuff be because I am just cheap? Why do normal things we do have to be lumped into the silly green movement? I don't want to be green and I don't want my kids to learn how to be green. I want us to be normal people who don't have to jump on a bandwagon because we fear if we don;t people will think we are trying to murder Mother Earth. I mean, the earth is cool and all but I refuse to spend twenty minutes trying to get all of the peanut butter out of the jar so I can recycle it- to the garbage dump it goes!
