hearts and more hearts

I hung up our melted-crayon, wax-paper
 hearts this week. Martha Stewart has an easy

 step-by-step guide if you are interested
 in making them.

They do add that extra color

that is desperately lacking in the month of February.

I also cut out some little, paper hearts

 and put happy words on them.

Later on, when we went to a park,

which the boys lovingly call, “The Dinosaur Park,”

I taped a couple of the hearts around the playground.

My boys asked if it was alright to do that.

I told them it was O.K.

Plus it wasn’t permanent and when

we come back another day I would take the tape off.

Those hearts made me smile.

And thinking of some tired mother

or lonely child reading them

makes me smile even bigger!

Have a great day!
