Soda can flowers

What do you do when you have a sick baby and an 8yo that asks you to take him to the store so that he can get his teachers flowers for Valentines day? First you feel real bad for telling him no :( (At this point in the day Nicholas had been screaming because he wanted to go home, so staying out longer to head to a store was not on my list of "fun things to do today") So he said ok mommy (Alex is such a good boy!)
Second you go to the WWW and find a tutorial to make some really fun flowers for him to give his teachers. I found these cool soda can flowers. (Blogger is not working right so copy and paste this link)http://crissyscrafts.blogspot.com/2011/05/i-am-just-in-love-with-my-metal-flowers.html
Third...you call a neighbor at 5 pm and ask her to dig through her recycling bin and get the cans for you :) Thanks Julie ;)
Then you follow the directions. Alex woke up in the morning and was a very happy little boy, and his teachers loved them too!!
