Last night, before we went to bed, I heard Entomologist say to his Daddy that he wanted to get up really early, slip out, and buy me a rose. Well, since we are all either recovering from,or trying to fight off a nasty stomach virus, that didn't happen. That's ok with me, as I'd rather have a nice, "quiet", relaxing day at home, doing pretty much nothing at all.

So since my little boy is so wonderfully thoughtful, he painted me a boiled egg (we keep them on the ready in the fridge) and made me a card. With the card there were eight pennies. I wasn't sure about the pennies, and apparently he saw the puzzled look on my face. He then said to me... its one for every year that I have loved you. (awwwww) He then indulged me, and allowed me to take photos of him. "Happy Valentine's Day Mommie, you're the greatest."

I must say, I think he is the greatest little eight year old ever. He is so thoughtful. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful family.
