KB is such a funny girl.  She is constantly trying on shoes, wearing necklaces, loves hats, etc.  She is apparently typical.

This week she came to me and jabbered away intently and after I said, “Show me what you need, KB.” (Thanks, Amy) she took me to Bubba’s room.  Here she proceeded to empty his underwear drawer, pick out a pair, back up onto my lap hand me the underwear and stick her leg out.  Hilarious.

Well, I put the pair on.  There she stood in a pink Henley, khakis and Lightning McQueen undies.  She picked out five more pairs and was ready for pair seven when I put an end to it.  She could barely stand at that point and was walking like a sumo wrestler.  It was so FUN!

Today I was on the phone with my sister and looked beside me to find KB “reading” Fast Company magazine and furiously punching numbers on the phone in her hand.  I got the camera and told her to yell “Sell! Sell!” or “Buy! Buy!”

She lifted her hand and said, “Buy”. 
Our future, ladies and gentleman. . .

Traditionally I have been a hater of all things Valentines.  Principally, I still think it is terrible to get something as a token of one’s affections because they are expected to give said token.  Have you ever read John Piper’s Desiring God? In the Preface he talks about duty versus desire and uses a husband giving his wife flowers as the example.  Flower from Duty = No Go.  Flower from Desire = Big Kiss.

Anyway, I have decided that February will be a month to share the love, here at the Blue Hutch.  I am excited about celebrating my love for my husband and children and talking with the kids about God’s love for us.
I got several of these “bags” at Hobby Lobby after Christmas ($.50 each) and decided I would turn them into Valentine mailboxes for the kids.

Each day they will get a heart note inside telling them how much I, Honey, and/or Jesus loves them.  (Bubba’s isn’t finished yet because I cut the paper too small.  That should get remedied tomorrow – – if I don’t spend the whole morning at the doctor’s office.
