The Sweetest Thing

Two days before Valentine's Day I went scrapbooking at Pebbles in My Pocket in Orem. I pulled into the parking lot and saw 4 big trucks! I've been coming to this scrapbook store for years and on a normal day, I'll pull into the parking lot and see mini-vans and SUVs. So I'm thinking, "that's weird." Then I walk into the store, and for the first time ever, I see about 6 manly men at the scrapbooking tables, scrapping away like this is totally normal. Something they do every Friday night. Now that was a sight to see! It turns out they thought it would be nice to make Valentines for their sweethearts. I'm thinking, "oh, how sweet! That would be nice if Mike did something like that for me."

So then, after a good 5 hours of scrapbooking, I come home to a homemade Valentine card waiting for me on our bathroom counter. Mike asked each child what they wanted to tell me in the Valentine card. It said:

Jace: "Thank You?"
Kaylee: "She can have this (Reese's PB cup), I don't care."
Cam: "A Mama, yeah."
Mike: "I love you, Happy V.D. Peace out!"

There was a heart shaped Reese's PB cup taped to it from Kaylee, and an orange Skittle taped to it from Jace. Isn't that the Sweetest Thing!
