Day 10 - Heart Attacking

We are super lucky to have great extended family living close by. The only problem is, our schedules have been off for a while now. We haven't been able to hang out with them for a bit so we wanted to let them know we still love them and miss seeing them. So today, we decided to give them a heart attack.

Heart attacking someone is the best because it combines showing someone they are loved with the fun equivalent to toilet papering someone's house. You get to be sneaky and sort of a vandal, but you know whoever your victim is will love it.

How to give someone you love a heart attack

The simplest way is just cut out a bunch of hearts and use them to decorate someone's yard. Throw them across the lawn and stick them around with tape. We like to get a little more creative, though.

• Use chalk. Decorate the driveway and sidewalk with drawn hearts and sweet messages.
• Decorate with streamers. It's almost toilet papering, except it's decorating so it's cute. 
• Use plastic forks. This is the coolest trick. Stick plastic forks in the lawn, prong side up. Then you can use the prongs to hold things up; decorated paper plates, cut out hearts, nice notes, balloons, etc.
• Use pictures. You can cut out pictures of things your "victim" likes out of magazines (in heart shapes of course). Today, we printed pictures of the kids cousins in black and white, then colored them in silly ways.
  
• Write nice messages. Today we wrote something we liked about each member on the family on the back of their pictures.
• Leave a treat. Make cookies or brownies and leave them on the doorstep. Sweets are the best way to show love, right?
