For the fourth year in a row we had a very special Valentine's Day (OK, we've had many in our home but I'm talking about a new tradition that we began 4 years ago). We picked up 5 other children this morning, spent a while making more cards (they had all done some ahead of time) and then went to a local nursing home where we handed out 82 hand-made valentines. It is such a joy and privilege to have the flexibility with homeschooling to do something that will really make a smile for someone else. The children love making them, giving them out (along with many hugs and "blown" kisses) and this year I treated them all to a milkshake afterward before some of the girls had to be at dance class.
[This card is actually one made 4 years ago by my then barely 5 year-old. Unfortunately today I just didn't even think about the camera until we were on our way over there -- Duh!!]
Hope you had a very special Valentines day and that you have rejoiced in the fact that every day is a gift of love from the One who loved us so much He died for our sins. Happy Valentines!
