Awwwwww

We were all sick over Valentine's day. So the children and I lounged around in our PJ's all day while John went to church. I love Valentine's day, so we needed to do something special. I made everyone a "mailbox" and hung them on our bedroom doors. Then I made valentines to put in them. The boys wrote their names on a couple of their superhero valentines and added them (with the matching pencils) to everyone's boxes.

After a while, my oldest noticed that my box was mostly empty. "Mom, you don't have very many valentines."

"That is because I am the one who made all the cards for everyone else's boxes. But I didn't make any for me."

"Oh."

The next time I went upstairs I noticed that my mailbox was FULL. He wrote my name on all the rest of his valentines and filled my box (and my heart).

So if you see me writing Spider-man pencils, it is because I have an entire set - and my boy loves me.

Also, I know this picture is blurry, but it was so sweet! I had to capture it, but I didn't want to wake them.
