They had all of thier Valentine's treats laid out for them--mostly from Gran and Great Grandma Judy. I also made them some heart shaped banana nut muffins. Lucas hates bananas, and I would have made him something else if he would have protested, but he gobbled one up. I hope I can sneak some other banana baked goodness into him again. He is such a picky eater.
In honor of Valentine's Day here is 5 reasons why I love each one of my boys.
Lucas: 1. He has such a creative mind.
2. He looks just like his daddy, but he acts a lot like me.
3. He draws me pictures and leaves me random love notes and then excitedly waits until I open them to see what he's given me!
4. He has loved the same color for as long as he's known his colors--he's not fickle.
5. He loves to help me do things around the house.
Henry: 1. He dresses himself without any regard to whether his clothes are on the right way or not--or even if he's wearing underwear! I secretly love that, but not the underwear part!
2. He has lots of freckles on his nose.
3. He wears his green frog boots almost everyday--usually on the wrong feet.
4. If I ask him to do something he doesn't want to do he says "I sure will not!" in the most cheerful voice.
5. He thinks everyone loves him, even strangers, and they usually do.
Josh Oliver: 1. He loves to give me sugars.
2. When he throws a fit he flops on the ground and lays dead still, or closes his eyes and sits as still as a statue. It's his own twist on fits!
3. He looks a lot like my dad and is mellow just like him, too.
4. He eats anything--although that includes dog food which I do not love!
5. He is a really good listener and usually doesn't get into too much trouble.
Ben: 1. He's the smartest boy in his class--even if there is a girl in there who was four when he graduated highschool.
2. He always gets breakfast ready in the morning and gives the boys baths at night.
3. He makes me laugh even when I do everything I can to stay in a rotten mood.
4. He doesn't make me share my art room with his stuff and doesn't complain about it--at least not too much any more!
5. He's super cute and has good taste in girls!
I'm a lucky girl!
