Every morning as I'm making Rainee's lunch for school, I put a little love note on her napkin to go along with the little lunch-box card I've made for her. I change out the lunch-box card once a month but she always has a new napkin love note every day. It's our thing. I think it's important she knows I am with her even when I'm not right there... and this is my way of showing her... I'm there. Then every day on our way home, she tells me about her little napkin love note and how much it meant to her.So, now that we're on our 3rd month of school, I needed to do a new lunch-box card for her... and since it's Halloween this month, I decided to go with that theme. As I was getting started on the card, Rainee came over to make sure I was using the fuzzy kitty-cat and the silly witch.... for some odd reason she liked her and wanted it on her card. Here is her October Halloween themed lunch-box card.... Inside I always write something special just for her. I read it to her, then we put it in a baggie for her lunch box. A baggie you may ask... well that is because last months lunch-box card was nearly distroyed with her left over drink which she forgot to throw away. So we've both learned... she throws away her unfinished drinks (so everything doesn't get wet) AND... I've learned, I put her cute lunch-box cards in baggies (so I don't have a crying child upset because her lunch-box card is ruined). Live and learn....
Anyway... while I was doing the lunch-box-card... I got on a roll of making Halloween cards. I was having so much fun... I just kept going... so I'll show you a couple today and more tomorrow...With this first card I fell in love with these rub-ons and thought they'd make a cute card... I loved the green eyes of the cat and the mouse climbing on it's tail.... how could you not write EEK! on the card....
That's it for today... I'll have the rest to show you tomorrow... have a lovely Wednesday!

Love all of your fun Halloween cards!
So cute. Love the one google eye. Looks adorable.
DARLING cards, as ALWAYS, Michelle!
I've been putting love notes in Bryn's lunch every single day since she started going to school. I can count on 1 hand how many times I've forgot to stick one in her lunch in the last 3+ years. I agree that it's a great way to stay connected while they're gone and I imagine it makes Rainee smile just as much as it does for Bryn. :-)
You and Deana are the bestest mom's ever! :):):):):):) I used to do that for Adam... but he hasn't taken his lunch to school for three years now... *sigh* teenagers! LOL! I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee these cards! soooooooooooooooooooo fun! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
