Monday was a minimal day at school (so the teachers could have meetings) so Landon and I were able to get to Michelle's house by 2:15 with drinks in hand! Michelle worked on some cute Valentines while I put a few packages together and wrote some cards. (Isn't it weird to see Michelle's newly painted kitchen cabinets in the background?)
Lucas is oh so pleased to be almost taller than Michelle and as tall or taller (the hair made it hard to tell) than Landon. Landon is almost exactly a year older than him and yet Lucas is closing in!
It always feels so good to write the cards I've been intending to write.
Our lovely mess!
We were delightfully kid-free for most of our time, but the last hour or so was spent with Max on the computer, Eva at the table with us working on Valentines and Landon and Lucas in the family room playing Rock Band (until I had to beg them to stop because I couldn't take it anymore).
This is my happy output for the day, 5 cards and 3 packages! I so miss sending and receiving good mail as in days of yore. My mailbox used to be such a fruitful place.
**Did you send any Valentines?
Can you stand listening to someone playing Rock Band?
Have you sent any good mail lately?**
Comment Window Tidbit: The new season of Survivor starts tonight, woohoo! I don't watch much TV these days, but this is one show I really look forward to watching each week.

I did send a good mail/valentine package to my mom. It's the only thing I've done in a really long time.
Depending on how my head feels determines my level of patience with rock band. The kids haven't played that in quite a while, their too busy dancing to the new wii dance game.
Those cards you made are so beautiful!!
Oh my goodness! I got one of those incredible packages today. I was so humbled, so very humbled, by your generosity. Thank you, thank you! I promptly put it on and used it. I was so excited. Again, thank you.
I have been sending good mail. It is so very satisfying to send something to make other people happy.
Isn't it interesting how our lives have changed since blogging began? It's quite amazing when you have a public record like a blog gives to see it.
I have never seen anyone play Rock Band before. We don't have that at our house. I did send a few Valentines out. Hope that CD is working out alright.
Oh, thank you for not posting the picture of Lucas posing with me. So frightening. On the bright side, isn't it nice that Lucas doesn't hide from the camera anymore?
I'm still working on my valentines! Good grief. I am feeling so behind this year.
The Guitar Hero guitars do get on my nerves, but not nearly as much as certain very intense, loud, piano pieces...
Sending good mail is so satisfying. Nice pile!
I'm so happy for minimal days.
I left Kim in charge of all kid Valentines this year. She bought them at the grocery store (the cheap, tacky kind)and that was fine by me! I handled the teacher, bus driver, and guitar lesson Valentine treats.
Valentines day just blew past me this year because as of tomorrow we have a week and a day off school/work for Mardi Gras. No parades but I do plan to read, play, go to the museum...
I hear you on the tv - it's a downhill slippery slope these days...
Didn't send any Valentines -
Rock band doesn't bother me - as of yet..
I think GOOD MAIL for me is a thing of the past. I haven't sent or received in years. Sad.
Perhaps I need a change...
Always love your get togethers - fun to visit AND get things done!
That is close quarters for Rock Band-ing. I don't blame you for sending them away.
I can't believe that's Michelle's kitchen. I love it, but it's an adjustment for sure.
