Happy Valentine's Day!

Sending love to you all this Valentine's Day!

We got a last minute email from Lucas's school yesterday evening about bringing in 32 Valentines this morning. Lucas was already in bed so I rushed around preparing as best I could.

We happened to have some leftover Winnie-the-Pooh Valentines so I just had to make 16 more. I folded a heart and stuck a bug head on top so they look somewhat like a love bug. Then Lucas woke up early to personalize them, tracing or coloring hearts and putting an L on them for his signature (you can see a sideways L if you look closely at the Valentine sticking out of his pocket.)

Chris took him to school and helped him deliver one to each child's bag. Can't wait to open his bags and see all of his Valentines after school today! Chris said there were some fancy ones being handed out.

Octopus in the Woods

This is a potty-inspired story, almost verbatim:

Octopus in the Woods

"One day I was walking in a small patch of grass. Suddenly I realized I was in the woods. In a small distance I saw a owl. He said 'I was looking for you Lucas.' I said 'Oh, yes.'

Then mommy said 'Lucas, where are you??' She came to the woods and said 'Lucas I was looking everywhere for you.'

Then, in a small distance I saw a Octopus. I said (emphatically,) 'I am not your God. Jesus is your God."

Amen!
