Spread Love...

“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor . . . Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.” -Mother Teresa

 

Valentine's Day was nice.  We had conferences so I got to leave school at 11:00.  On the way home I visited a little sewing shop and bought a charm pack.  It snowed.  It was a pretty snow: the kind with the big flakes.  I picked Evangeline up early from school.  Kyle came home earlier than usual.  We ate chili and spent the evening watching the Olympics. 



 

Here Evangeline is pretending she has long hair with one of her famous "clip fabric to her hair" looks.

 

For Valentine's Day Kyle and I got Evangeline 2 new books and a little box of chocolates.  One of the books is a chapter book.  I wondered if she would have the attention span for a chapter book.  We started her new book, "Juliet, the Valentine's Fairy" on Valentine's Day and she is HOOKED!  She keeps begging for just one more chapter.  One of the best parts is that the book has a map in the front.  Evangeline really likes maps.  I came in to check on her one night last week and found her with the light on studying every page.  She said, "I love this book so much! It has a map in it!"  I said, "pretty cool, huh".  Evangeline replied, "It's cooler than a frog on a log."
