Jay was quietly hunched over our craft table working. He was working hard on something and didn't even give me permission to peek.
"What are you working on?" I break his concentration.
"YOU can't see until I am all ready." He explodes into giggles.
"Let me peek, Jay!" I tease him knowing very well that this child lives for rules.
"No! Mama. You have to be a patient. Just wait!" More giggles.
He approaches me with this....
and my heart melts. This is the VERY FIRST letter from one of my children. He even had a piece of tape ready for me so that I could display it. I might go as far as to laminate it tomorrow to preserve his little smudges. I don't want the smudges to disappear. This is THE sweetest letter I have gotten. Ever.

Adorable! Your husband will never be able to live up to *that* Valentine's Day present. (Unless, of course, he coughs up that diamond tennis bracelet.) *grin*

Yay! How sweet. I have Rubbermaid containers full of stuff like that. I will never part with any of it! Never!
I love those notes! So sweet!
My 6 yo writes those quite a bit, usually when it is bedtime or we need to leave to go. I start harping on her to hurry up. She keeps saying "wait!" I get irritated. Then she hands me one of those notes and I feel like the worst mom ever.
Yes laminate it!
That is too cute for words! What a darlin'!!!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I love it when the kids do fun cute stuff like that. My Taylor will leave me special I Love yous all over the house and i love it.
What a great V-Day gift
What a heart throb he is. Can we set your Jay & my Goosey up someday? I'm already looking for a guy who will treat her right, and Jay seems like he'd fit the bill.
BTW - Love your fancy new digs! Very classy, my friend!
Happy Heart Day to you!
So sweet!! My favorite things are the notes I get from my children.

Now THAT is the best kind of Valentine. EVer. Jay is adorable and so are you for wanting preserve smudges. :)

I love how you love it!!!
I say go to the local frame shop and have it mounted and framed in a black frame. The prettiest art you will ever have in your home. You can leave it up all the time or just hang it up at Valentines ! My favorite pieces of art are things my kids have done. I wish I had framed more.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
I love the sweet things kids do! Enjoy!
