A Tale of Two Valentines

The traditional school valentines are fast approaching - do these valentines reveal your personality? Well, maybe not for you, but they sure do for our kids.

Case 1 - "Quick draw" Kelly went shopping with me a week ago, looked at the 4 or 5 choices at Dollar Tree, immediately fell in love with one of them (Maya & Miguel - a PBS show - see http://pbskids.org/mayaandmiguel/flash.html), and viola - her card work was done!

Case 2 - "Make it Right, or don't make it at all" Christopher looked at a couple different choices, and we suggested a few others, but none were "right" for him. So, he decided to make personalized Pokemon cards for everyone, and quickly learned a 10 step process to find, download, edit and create cards from data on the official Pokemon site (http://pokemon.com/flash.asp) - no mean feat! He may have his dad's computer genes.
