Valentine's Day

I think I mentioned it before :) but Valentine's Day is big here.  Also at school!  A few weeks ago we got a letter detailing all the arrangements.  The girls had to make a box to collect their cards and sweets in, bringing in cards for your friends was optional (really?) but if you bring in cards you have to bring for everyone (makes sense). 

The stores are full of cards sets especially made for school kids. They either have candy, pencils, stickers or something along those lines in it.  Famke chose hamburger cards with a hamburger erasers in it.  Floortje chose Rapunzel pencils.

I love the thought of Valentines day.  It is nice to let people know you care about them but this is a bit out of proportion in my opinion.

...and after! 
(and we haven't even finished our Halloween candy yet!)

a bit? a lot out of proportion I would say! Imagine having kids not able to make their own box or write their own name also needing to bring 20 cards each....-:(
