The days and weeks leading up to Valentine's Day were full of excitement. The week before, I received my ever first homework assignment: to make one card for each of my friends in my class. I took this task seriously and I would go home and paint and draw every day after school. (Note: if you are wondering if my mom stepped in and painted the butterfly or the sunshine, she did not. I did those with a stencil. clever me! The only help I got was with putting my name on each card and cutting them out . . . which turned out to be a huge undertaking.)
The day before Valentine's, we stopped at Whole Foods on our way home from school to fill the water jugs. And to buy everything yummy in sight. And to eat some pizza for lunch. It was in the bakery section that it started to seem like my dad should buy me a cake for Valentine's Day. So we sent him this photo for inspiration, knowing perfectly well that he'd be doing some last-minute shopping for me.
I could hardly sleep the night before Valentine's Day realizing that not only would we have our weekly assembly but also a party! What a day. I didn't even have to do any work (!!!!). These are the cards I received from my sweet friends. They clearly took their homework assignments as seriously as I did.
Now you are probably wondering if I got a cake from my dad.
I DID!
Though it was not a cake from the photo. It is a lovely strawberry cake decorated with a dark chocolate heart covered in sprinkles.
