At about 6 o'clock Jared and I were alerted that it was officially Valentimes Day and then in a low, and drawn out for dramatic effect voice, Luke said, "Dad, [long pause] I love you." And then the same for me. What a sweet boy.
The kids had all made Valentines on Sunday for us. We were instructed not to look at them until today--anyone who knows me well knows I've been giving myself previews since Sunday.
Jonah's was very sweet it says...
Thank you for teaching us all of this good stuff and thank you for being my mom and dad and thank you for giving me all of this important stuff that I need. I love you. From Jonah
Rachel gave Jared a pencil holder she made in art at school. It's supposed to have basketball's and football's on it, but I think the paint ran in the firing process. It's sweet anyhow.
I've been busy making our traditional heart candy boxes for the teachers (White chocolate-ish for the box--milk chocolate inside)...and Valentines will be mailed out today...close enough if you get it the week of Valentines right?
Jared had some beautiful roses for me this morning. Yesterday he called me while I was out and said, "What do you want for Valentines? I'm at the Tractor Supply store and I'll get you anything you want." I frantically thought of all of the things on my "Tractor Supply Store list" and oddly came up blank--so I asked him if I could just have the gift of time. I told him to just take any money he would spend on me and take the kids on Saturday to a movie or Chuck E. Cheese of something and let me gather myself for a few hours. Ahh. The gift that keeps on giving.
Happy Valentimes Day to you all. We love you!

I'm missing your chocolate box today! Those are so yummy! Lucky people getting those today. Have a good one!
See - it is people like you who make me look bad. Since Kelsey did the valentines with the kids I hope the teachers even got a card!!!
You are amazing....why is it that people who have more kids and tons of stuff going on can still find the time to make stuff like this. Ugh! Now I'm going to have to keep up with the Hansen's (kidding). Anyway, super cute idea!
