Valentines Day ... God is Love

Our "Love Is" tree with heart ornaments.  "Love is patient and kind.  Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.  Love does not demand its own way.  Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.  It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.  Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

Valentine's Heart Ornaments

We made ornaments with the verses from 1 Corinthians 13.  Love is...

2:00 A.M. Talk

When Lucy hollered for me at 2 in the morning from her bed, I ran into her room.
Lucy: "I had fun in the sprinkles today.  What are we doing when the sun wakes up?  Why is it taking a long time?  You can go back to bed."

"I love the cookie maker!"

Next Year & Stinky Biper

Lucy has some of her time and date words mixed up, so she'll say things like, "Next year can we have ice cream?"  Yep.  "Next year can we go to the park?"  You betcha.

"Stinky Biper" is what Abby says to let us know she's dirty.

Best Note Ever. To Daddy, From Lucy

"DAD, Can we go to the pet store?  I really want to.  If you don't I will be sad so please do it.  Daddy, can we go to McDonalds?  I really want to.  Our whole family can go so can you do that, Daddy?  I want to.  I really want to.  And I love you Daddy.  Love, Lucy.  I love Daddy so much I want to give him a kiss."

Second Day of (Pre)School - yellow shoes

Concerning the yellow shoes that we picked out at the store with Lucy for school:
Me:  You can't wear flip-flops to school.  You have to wear your yellow shoes.
Lucy:  I'll wear them, but I won't look at them.

Lucy colors everyday and hangs the pictures by my bed "so I can look at them when I go to sleep."
