Fairies and Angels

Little boys believe in fairies too. They believe in the tooth fairy and the fairy that steals all the matching socks. Grown men believe in the fairy that matches the socks, magically make clothing appear in the dresser, keep the bathroom clean and conjure a sack lunch every morning before they even get up. That fairy was no where to be found this week. That fairy fell down the stairs, then passed out in the living room and hurt herself. We all missed that fairy. She was replaced by a hardworking Daddy who doesn't clean floors, but makes that bathroom sparkly. She was still stuck, watching things pile up, when Daddy had to go back to work but never fear! There are little angels in this house. Everyday the little angel picked up the toys and carried them up the stairs one at a time. It took all morning but she did a great job. The little angel learned to put her clothes in the drawer herself because the laundry fairy couldn't bend down and do it. Because of  Daddy and the angel Blake still thinks that fairies still fill the drawer with socks... to eat.

Valentines... Wheel you be mine?

I love to give gifts and make things for people. I have a ton of fun giving things to people. Unfortunately I'm not rich and I don't have unlimited time. This year for Valentines day I enlisted a little help. I got to make up fun little one liners and Hailey painted pictures. She loved painting and mailing them. She also told me what to write on them. It was a riot listening to her tell me " Bees sting you," " Wheel you be my valentine... I dunno what that is." and my favorite, " I am was a baby but now I'm a big girl, I am Hailey."  We couldn't do very many but there were a few lucky recipients.  The sad part was I forgot to sign most of them. Oops.
