love trails

In case you didn't know this by now, I'm the world's worst at writing up a blog post in a hurry when those pockets of time come my way and then getting interrupted and forgetting to press "publish" so I'm catching up on my valentine week posts. And because I'm OCD, I'm publishing them back to the day I wrote them - ha!

So a couple of weeks ago, the littles were having a not-so-nice day to each other, so out came the craft supplies! Distraction at its finest!

Noonie was due back from Puerto Rico the next day so it was the perfect time to make a few heart paper chains to show her how much we missed her. Win-Win! Grace helped me fold the paper accordion style and then I traced the hearts, making sure to leave the sides of each heart off the paper. I then handed them each a pair of scissors and voila! Sweet paper chains.

Because creativity is messy...

AND beautiful!!

Waiting with anticipation...

I.SEE.HER!!!

No matter how many times we go through this routine, it never fails...I get tears in my eyes EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.

I love my mom dearly...and so do the littles!
