Today is the Valentine’s Day Party for my son’s Kindergarten class. I decided to go and volunteer, and take pictures, of course. Last weekend, we took pictures for my son’s V-Day cards. I wanted to be a little different. Angry Kid was not cooperating with me. He kept making faces, like this one:
Angry Husband came outside to help me. He got Angry Kid to cooperate with me for a few more pictures. We actually got a smile.
You are probably wondering why his hand is sticking out like that? Because we cut two little slits and put a sucker through the holes. I also added some words onto the photo.
I was at work when Angry Husband assembled the cards. I forgot to ask him to take photos. He did take one with his iPhone for me. I edited the bottom of the card to remove my son’s name. I did a sloppy job of editing the bottom.
I found the idea for the cards from 24*7*365.
And yes, I’m a total brown noser. Angry Husband was impressed with the idea once it was complete, and it cost us $6.

I did something similar last year. I purposely had my son’s hand IN focus and everything else out of focus. http://www.flickr.com/photos/teresamcmobley/4361920589
I did a cheaper version for my students, putting their fist more like a punch and stringing yarn through the slits and hung a hard from their hand.
They’re adorable. I did those for my 6yo last year, and this year we made similar one using the software Comic Life – It’s a free download that turns your pics into comics. We have my 6yo looking like he punched the camera and holding a lollipop. I bet Angry Kid would LOVE them for next year!
