Valentine's Day Projects

We have been stuck at home all week.  D has a case of breakthrough chicken pox.
Here is the general info (medTV, my mom sent it to me) 

"If a vaccinated person does get chickenpox, it is called a breakthrough infection. This infection is believed to be caused by a wild-type varicella virus. A breakthrough infection is usually very mild with fewer skin lesions (usually less than 50) lasting only a few days, with no fever or a low fever, and few other chickenpox symptoms. Breakthrough infection is estimated to occur in approximately 2 percent of vaccinations per year. The rate does not appear to increase with length of time since vaccination.

Vaccinated people who get this milder form of chickenpox may still spread the disease to others who are not protected. Therefore, these individuals should stay at home until the blisters have formed scabs; if there are no blisters present, they should stay home until no new spots or bumps are forming."

She doesn't itch, thankfully!   But she has a few stubborn spots that haven't dried up.  We have a snow storm blowing in tonight, so my guess is we will be stuck home tomorrow too. 

 

We have broke out some old toys, made some homemade finger paint, gotten our Valentine's cards done, etc.  All in all we have survived.

 

I thought it would be fun to revisit old Valentine's Day projects and maybe inspire a few to get crafty!

These took awhile to complete, but turned out super cute!  I just got blank cards and she painted on each one.

I thought I got a better picture of this, but we did an owl theme Valentine with a pencil, the owl was perched on the pencil.  She signed her name.
