our valentine's day

even though it's not my favorite holiday...it IS a fun day full of excitement and sugar! :-)

pat totally surprised me and handed me this bowl of love notes this morning right before he left for work.
my instructions were to open one each hour from 8 am until 8 pm.
it was the PERFECT valentine's day gift!
it was so special to feel so loved and appreciated ALL DAY LONG!
he did good! :-)
{he also got me this shirt!}
just a snapshot of our afternoon...rebekah doing homework...joshua putting the dishes away (we have a new chore system...it's working GREAT! i'll explain it soon!}...bailey make someone a love note {we all got many over the past few days! :-)}...sawyer wearing bailey's shoes and wandering around whining about something probably...
we did make it outside.
it was nice to be out...except for the 40 mile per hour winds :-)
the kids made us the CUTEST poster and gifts for valentine's day. they love to give us gifts. it is so precious.

once the kids were in bed, pat and i looked at each other, said about 3 words, prayed and had nothing left.
these days are exhausting.

is it only monday??? :-)

isn't it funny how it was a 'holiday' and yet such a 'normal' day?

the wind was brutal but it WAS warm! yipee!

can't wait to hear about the prayers being answered!

we have a new Chore system too!
