I just needed to post this little note I found on the ground a minute ago. I went to throw away yet another scrap piece of paper--one that is SO typical of what I see a million times everyday:
My boys are constantly writing notes to each other or making up treasure hunts, but they NEVER take care of their paper after they are done. I picked it up frustrated, and as I went to throw it in the garbage, I read the inside. And it made me smile.
Now I am dying to know what they did in MY room. Maybe made my bed or put a love note under my pillow... either that or secretly talked about how mean I am being today.Update: Over dinner tonight (sweet and sour meatballs, if you must ask. It was a little too sweet than I had hoped.. especially after an entire day of eating only Halloween candy!) Anyway, over dinner, I asked the kids WHY they needed to meet in my bedroom and what they talked about once they arrived. They looked at each other, smiled and then said they couldn't talk about it at the table. Interesting. About a minute later, when Zack wasn't paying attention, they whispered that it was a secret planning meeting to get Zack to like his OWN light-saber. His is green, but he never wants to play with it and always fights over the others. So, in my bedroom this afternoon, they figured out that if THEY started picking Zack's because it was cooler than the others.. and openly discussing how GREEN is now their new favorite color, that Zack would eventually follow and start to like his again. Sounds like an excellent plan to me.
If only life was as simple as secret bedroom planning meetings and which light-saber to love the most...








not this cute anymore!

Nothing beats kid notes. As old as they get, (I also throw away several a day) when I really take time to read them, they will always make me smile.
