Just Because Things Are Sold On the Same Aisle and In the Same Geographical Area as Said Aisle Doesn’t Mean They Go Together
So I was all happy and pleased with myself because I’d actually purchased the boys’ valentines AND some goodies for gift bags a whole TWO DAYS before they were due. Which is highly unusual for me because I really do love to stay up until 1:00am the night before a Valentine’s Party putting together valentines and baking pink heart-shaped cookies. REALLY.
Anyhoo, after the boys went to bed, I started to assemble the gift bags for Benny’s day care play mates, which consisted of some really cute die-cut cellophane bags, mini frisbees, suction cup ball thingys, some candy hearts, and Spiderman valentines.
Then I realized there was a problem.
The mini frisbees were too big to get into the bag. And NO, I did NOT think to look at the width of the bag at its narrowest point and determine if the frisbees would fit.
I made the LOML pose with the accessories in exchange for some . . . thing.
That's not "Mala-chee," but "Mala-kai." Because apparently Benny has a day care playmate who is one of the children of the corn.
Seriously. Am I SUPPOSED to get out the measuring tape before I buy this stuff? Can I just get some credit for starting a day early?
So, we’ve now clarified that my toddler can read but his mother cannot.

The work I do from 8 to 5 involves saving lives.
You guys get to have fun. We were explicitly told *no* treats after I had loaded up some mini goodie bags with conversation hearts. I did buy a CD of vintage valentine images a couple of years ago though. I printed them off onto blank stationary paper (the heavy kind you would use for cards) that I pick up from Wal-Mart. After cutting them down to size I embellished them with a special glue and coloured glitter. Seriously, I love doing that. I do all the fun stuff and then I let the kids stamp them on the back with the to/from stamp and then address/sign them. They think they’re getting to do the fun stuff, LOL…
