Valentine Mailboxes

We love getting mail!  (I blogged it mail here and here)  So when I spotted these mailboxes at Target for $1 I knew we had to get them!

There is one for each of us- red for Daddy, pink for Bundle and white for me. (Of course I had to add some bling to mine!) We put them by the door and wait for the flag to go up, signifying there is mail in our mailbox!

We don't get something in there every day...just like the Postal Service's mail. And often the "mail" in our mailbox is something found. This was not intended to make our Valentine's Day tradition become an expensive, gift giving holiday.

It may be an article that was found in a newspaper or magazine  (in my mailbox!):

It could be toys that were found at the bottom of the toy basket (in my little girl's mailbox):

It may be a kiss token (my husband and I have been passing this around for years. The current owner of it gets a kiss!):

Other items that have been found in the mailboxes: stickers, coins for a piggy bank, finger puppets, coloring pages, bookmark, love not, barrettes, funny photos from the past, candy. The options are endless!

We have more fun just watching for the flags to go up!
