Connor was very excited about Valentine’s Day for over a week now.  He had been counting down to this day.  Last night, he was happy to write his name on 19 Valentine’s cards to give to his classmates.  Logan, on the other hand, did not care to do that; he claimed that they were not told to bring cards to exchange.  But when he saw some cards with Ninja Turtles on them, he wanted one for his buddy Colton.  Then he decided to write one for Brennen, Noah and Collin too.  He insisted that he did not need any more for others.

    After school, both boys had tons of things to take home.  They had made some school projects including a decorated paper bag to hold all the little gifts from their classmates.  They were happy to look through their collections as soon as we stepped out of their classrooms.  Later at home, Connor was proud to show us his work while we just found the ones from Logan in his backpack.  I made one of the boys’ favorite dinners and we had a little treat afterward, a red velvet cake.  The cake was yummy, but Logan was not into it or he was too tired, he only had a few bites.  He wanted to take the bath and fell asleep within minutes after his bedtime reading.
