Doorbell Ditching

Savanah woke up bright and early Saturday morning ready to make Valentine's for her friends. I thought this was a great idea especially since I wasn't feeling well. (I have a cold, so you don't need to even think the word "pregnant".) Anyway, I thought this would occupy her time and energy while I rested. When she finished, she informed me I needed to drive her around the neighborhood so she could deliver the valentines. She had written a list of her friends and numbered them in the order she wanted to deliver the valentines.I have to admit I wasn't thrilled about driving around the neighborhood but finally decided to do it so she wouldn't keep bugging me about it. (I know, not my best mom moment.) After the first two houses I had to go home to get my camera. I was laughing so hard and wanted to share.

She crept slowly to each house, laid the valentine on the step, rang the doorbell........

.....and then she ran like the wind.

The problem was she got caught at every house.I think she was caught because: #1-It was broad day light. #2-I parked in front of each house out in plain sight. #3-She ran straight for our van instead of hiding #4-It was Saturday morning when everybody is sitting at home.

It was fun and I'm happy I finally gave in. I fell in love with being a mom and watching my kids learn and grow. That's what Valentine's day is all about.
