Technically, I should have posted this yesterday, probably - but better late than never.
Yesterday, I needed to make some cookies for the boys Valentine Parties at school. Eli and Maddie were all set to help out, until...
Eli decided we need Valentine decorations in our house! After all Walmart has Valentine decorations, why shouldn't we! Instead of explaining why we don't need to do the things that Walmart does, I told him to go ahead and make decorations. This task actually became an all morning project. He was so proud to cut out hearts (a recently discovered task he can do). Then he got some tape and taped them to the front and back doors!
He also make a big red one for "brothers" bunk bed and one for his own! He was pretty proud of his decorations, as you can tell above!I have to tell you I was pretty proud of my cookies too! Occasionally, a little hint of creativity comes out! Who knew!
While I was keeping busy in the kitchen with cookies, I was enjoying the most beautiful sound. Maddie reading to me! It was so fun. She went through book after book. Sometimes singing, sometimes "reading". Always jabbering away. I loved it. I never knew there were so many memory verses and songs in Pinocchio! Fun to hear her intermingle her Bible verses with her reading of Snow White and sing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho" with "Jesus Loves Me".
So we are set for a day focused on LOVE! Our love may just be kept here with us today - so far the boys are on a 2 hour delay. I'm not sure exactly what the day will hold, but I'm excited to spend it with my 4 little ones.
