That is what he said...

A conversation just after dinner, as I am making Alex's (7yrs./1st grade) lunch for school tomorrow.

Alex: Mom?

Me: Yes.

Alex: Why do you put "love notes" in my lunchbox?

Me: What? Well, because, I love you and miss you during the day, and I want you to know that I am thinking about you even when you are at school.
Alex: Well...my friends can see them.

Me: (taking a deep breath.) Well...uh, should I stop writing them and putting them in there?

Alex: (After a long pause that seemed like an hour!!) Uh...NO!

Me: OK.

**Me: (left the kitchen and went to another room to wipe my brow) PHEW!! Sniff, sniff. Tears. Am I embarrassing him already?? :S

P.S. I don't put a note in all his lunches. Just sometimes. I used to love getting ones in my lunch from my mom.

He is all boy. Bailey loves notes and pictures, but Jack doesn't.

Disney Double Stroller Duo: That's How They Rolled!

Its been a while since my last post. Fail. I love to blog. I don't why I don't just sit and do it. Even if its just for me. Its nice to look back. Like a diary or photo album. ANYWAY. Before Christmas, I saw this super cute idea on Pinterest. Wrapping your kids door with crepe paper. They can bust through it. You can do this for Christmas or their birthdays, too. We did it for Christmas!! It was super fun!! I waited until they were sound asleep and went up and wrapped their door ways with crepe paper in Christmas colors. Christmas morning they busted through it to come and see what Santa brought them. They thought it was so much fun!! I will do it again this year. It might also be fun to do for the last day of school or the first day of summer and or the first day of school. Ideas are endless. Thanks, Pinterest!!
