The Empty Bowl

Oooooh, to experience Valentine's Day through the eyes of a child! Remember how fun it was to give Valentines to all your classmates and receive a ton for yourself? We got Maggie's class list today and she and Mark bought the perfect cards to give out. She is so excited!

We have a tradition in our house concerning Cupid. We have a red and gold heart-bowl (thank you, Grandmother!) that we set on our table. It remains empty until February 14th. If we've given enough love to each other throughout the year, Cupid comes in the night and fills the bowl with goodies for us to have on Valentine's Day! Maggie and Phoenix see the empty bowl and are reminded to give each other hugs and help me out with chores around the house. The empty bowl is giving Mark and me more "treats" than Cupid will give to the children in a few days.

I'll be posting more about Balentime's Day soon...love to all!!
