A good idea... gone bad
So I had this fabulous idea to have the girls help with their thank you notes this year. I made little forms that allow them to fill in who the card it to, what they got and are thankful for, and then their name at the bottom. I planned to cut these out and have them paste them into cards we make during craft time on Friday. It's obviously been awhile since we did school and I've forgotten how frustrated they get with free hand writing... especially with all lowercase... and on just a small line. So yesterday after the girls struggled and huffed and tried their best for over an hour to form words and leave spaces between them (which didn't happen.) They are barely legible and after each doing just 2 notes and almost 10 left to go... I called it a bust. I'm thinking I'll just write them this year and have them sign their names at the bottom. I'm sad it didn't work out, but I don't think I have the patience to sit through another few hour of this, nor do they. Waaaah Waaahhhhh!

So funny! I have Josie do all her own thank you letters this same way. Her birthday was in February and we didn't get our last thank you sent out until April! But she did it! They were very hard to read, but everyone said they loved getting a thank you from her. Most people don't do that anymore!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to try again this year now that they are a little older and have a bit more writing experience. Glad to hear I'm not the only one!
