cute valentine's print for boys, no? i saw an adorable idea of using a heart shaped gingerbread cookie and treading it with string to make a valentine's necklace. i am not sure quinn would go for a heart shaped necklace but an arrow version all wrapped up in a boyish v day print he might.
How sweet!
ReplyDeleteI would sew something with a fabric like that!
ReplyDeletevalentine’s and a summer day for our growing little herd
ReplyDeletequinn, tate and scout - two baseball boys, and now our precious third
but valentine’s day for mommy, is not what the cards would say
i’d love for chocolates, wine and flowers – a nice romantic day
but we’re nine weeks into diapers and three weeks back to school
a wine stained dress would be really nice – but it’s a t-shirt wet with drool
the boys they run us ragged and for mommies it’s especially true
dishes, drop-offs and diapers, there’s always something to do
in a few weeks if we’re lucky, the chaos may start to ebb
but with a touch of aussie slang, it probably won’t happen in feb
so our love today is bundled, much different than the traditional day
not foiled chocolate and ribboned roses, but the joy of little boy play
the screams and shrieks of little boy thrills, as they run out on the field
“look mom I caught it” they grin – oh the joys a fly ball can yield
it’s quinny’s love. his peace, his calm. his contentment on a field of grass
it’s tatey’s joy. his cartwheels and charm. the joy from papa’s little lass
it’s scouty’s to come. his brothers to lead. with baseball tales from the past
our valentine’s day, it goes without mention
a day that flows, a bit different from tradition
diamonds made of grass, gleaming brighter than a precious stone
dandelions on the fringe, far more pretty than a flower with thorns
a nappy bag. a baby blanket. a linen baby sling
makes mommy much more beautiful, than any lacy thing
a little boy’s game with its giggles and glee. five joyous, beautiful innings
somehow much sweeter, than a five course meal. and a confectionary ending
our time will come, when the craziness subsides. a sitter, some wine and a meal
a few moments alone for mommy and daddy. a few minutes we can finally steal
but for now our day, our valentines joys
they’re bundled in our three little boys
with gleams and grins and giggles so many. the sights and sounds of the day
a gift so precious. a gift so perfect. a day I’d spend no other way
happy valentine’s day babe,
from your four boys
love michael
Seriously. How adorable is Michael?! x
