the LOVE Party

Sometimes things are so simple. I was traveling last week--3 nights away. I arrived home just before bedtime last night. I got to rock the baby and put him to bed and tuck the big boys in...Why did they all look HUGE to me? I mean I was just gone for 3days...is that when they grow? when we're not looking?

So this morning, Lukas my early riser, comes to kiss me awake at all of 6:15. I smile and pull him into bed, partly to snuggle and partly to keep him from waking the other two. He tells me how much he missed me and today he was planning a LOVE party. I inquire, what? A Love party he replies, cause I love you! With that he slips out of bed and downstairs to begin prepartions.

I quickly get myself together, cause based on past experience, he could be doing just about anything, most things I would classify as messy...me and my negative thoughts. I tip toe downstairs since I still have 2 other sleeping boys and one sleeping geriatric dog...

When I get down, I see him at the desk working on something. I am to close my eyes while it is hidden and he begins to plan the rest of the day. Not a lot was different from a regular day, except there were more hugs and kisses for me and we made brownies as a special treat...

At bedtime tonight he tells me how wonderful he thought today was, especially the Love Party...
