Because our kids are on year round school, our two oldest celebrated Valentine's day at school this past Friday.Aubrey was the only child who needed to create a Valentine's box this year, and Josh volunteered to help her with that. I brought him a cardboard box, some gold paper, and stickers...but he said no, he had a different plan in mind. Aubrey was excited. First of all, she loves to work with her dad, and secondly, Dad headed outside to the shed...this was going to be an adventure.
Sure enough, Josh got out the saw, wood, and sander and the two went to work. They designed their project and got to it. Aubrey could not have been more excited. She was thrilled with the finished product, and Josh was pretty pleased with himself as well. I have never seen a wooden Valentine's box in first grade, but there's a first time for everything. They did end up using my gold paper after all.Finally, because we had free overnight babysitting, Josh and I decided to go out for our Valentine's/and-a-half anniversary (Valentine's marks six months from our wedding so we celebrate every year). Josh brought home these gorgeous flowers (lillies are my favorite) and it was a fabulous night. Our holiday may have been a little early, but it was still a lot of fun.

Lovely flowers. Glad you had a good time. Why don't you get your husband to help more often with these silly things?
