Love Notes From A Seven Year Old...

Yesterday, when I got home from the store, Roslyn had 2 loves notes waiting for us. One for Craig and one for me. Both were very sweet. One was hilarious...

Here is mine:

It reads:
Dear Mom,
You are the best mom I ever heard of and even sometimes you are very funny but the best thing you can do is be my mom. Love Roslyn. (And then there is a portrait of me.. lookin' quite spiffy I might add.)

And then Craig handed me his to read.

His read:
Dear Dad, you are the best dad in the world. Even you know that sometimes you can get grumpy but you are my dad and that's the best thing you can do. Love, Roslyn.
(and then there is a pic of craig, complete with a shirt that reads "Life Stinks.")

God, I love this kid.

  1. I absolutely adore their little love notes. My kids do that, and I save them for days I need a pick me up. :)

    And no worries, my bloggy buddy...I've been a tad bit absent as well.

  5. Roslyn clearly has an incredible imagination. I can't believe anyone who wears a T shirt that says "Life Stinks" could ever be grumpy.

    Um, will Brad be there? Just kidding, that has no bearing on my desicion...fight club...UNLESS I am the one fighting, then I'll go with red hat. How dull.
