He came . . . .

I love Valentine's Day.
Love the colors, love the candy, love the little notes, love the memories, love the love.
Hope my kids feel the same way.

This Valentine's we made Valentine cards for all the grandparents


and we made some Valentine mail boxes.
Christopher asked me "Who brings us something for our mail boxes? Santa Claus?"
My reply : "Uhhhh . . . . ummm. . . well, The Valentine Mailman."
Ya. That's the best I could think up.
I could have said ME!
I could have said Cupid!
I could have said a huge, magical, red, glittering heart character who loves to spoil little children!
Nope. The Valentine Mailman (CREEEEEPY).


I've always had some strange mailmen and the thought of one sneaking into my house to deliver candy to my children . . . . not good.

Oh well. The kids seemed to be okay with him.


They had so much fun opening their mailboxes this morning.




The Valentine Mailman


brought them a spinning, glowy thingy (ha ha) from Grandma.


They looooooved these.



The Valentine Mailman


also brought them some bubbles from Mom and Dad.



NO SPILL bubbles!



The person who made the no spill bubble container deserves an award!


Mothers everywhere thank you!



And, of course, the Valentine Mailman



brought some candy.


Yummy.

I love these kids. I love my husband. I love all my wonderful family and dear friends.

Happy Valentine's Day to all!!!


Here's to hoping that The Valentine Mailman makes a stop at your house ;)
