happy valentine's day


yesterday jack pulled a book off of cade's shelf, and this fell out of it. its an old valentine that someone named travis gave to shannon years ago. it is so bizarre that they day jack chose to pull that particular book off the shelf and that fate allowed this little card to fall out was february 13, of all the days of the year. weird.
even more weird is that it still possessed its full scratch-n-sniff wonder. yum.
so anyway, happy st. valentine's day to everyone. know you are loved. and that you are too cool.
and travis? forget about it.

Greg, love the old valentine. It reminds me of all the older type valentines that I used to get way back in the stone ages in my homemade valentine mailbox (a decorated shoebox) in my classroom each year. I have always loved the whole idea of celebrating love! How great is that! My favorite was from my 6th grade Valentine who gave me a card with a bee on the front that said, "With your ZZZZZZZZZZZ and my BuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, we could make some great honey together." Now that's a Valentine. I still have it in my memory box. It's a little bit yellowed and faded, but it still brings a smile to my face when I think about it. I got another card today from that same valentine. It has a picture of a little boy and girl sharing a ride on a tricycle and the caption says, "together, we're unstoppable." He's a keeper! I hope your readers have as many happy Valentine's memories as I do.

Have a great Valentine's Day. I send my love to you, Shannon, and my precious boys. You are all in my heart.

wow- that is such a cool valentine. i can almost smell it through the computer.

what's better though is the fun story from mom milinovich. i don't have many val's day cards saved... wish I had done that when i was teaching.

happy day of love! i had a funny joke on my blog. I also accept comments...

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus...

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...
