The kids were excited when they saw the stacks of hearts that we would be using for Family Home Evening (the 11-year-old said “Wow mom—you actually prepared something, instead of like a lesson or a story!” Huh, good to know that my diligent lesson/ special story prep doesn’t actually count…)
Each family member got a stack of hearts that they got to write something on that they loved about each other member of the family. We slathered them all over the pantry door and now we get to feel and see the love!! (I learned that the thing one of my other children loves about me is my “housekeeping”—wow, housekeeping…)
The excitement expressed by my fab five makes me think we’ll try a repeat performance for next Valentine’s Day, that may start a little sooner so the mother can get as much lovey dovey mileage out of this as is humanly possible…

We did this for FHE on Monday night too. The kids loved it! Their favorite thing about Mom was that I made them dinner every night. :0)--silly kids!
