4. Play "CUPID SAYS" instead of Simon Says.

5. At dinner one evening have everyone go around and say one thing they like or love about each person at the table.

6. Take your child out on a Valentines date..doesn't need to be expensive. Use your imagination.

7. Pick one room in the house to decorate for Valentines Day.. we usually pick the kitchen.

Early Valentines

I LOVE YOU MOM
YOU ARE THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD
HAPPY VALENTINES

Tonight when I got up from a nap I found this email from my sweet Makenna. She had also done almost all of the laundry and was working with her little sister on handwriting. I love my girl. She is sweet, helpful, smart and tries so very hard to please and do things that she knows will help me. Her early Valentines was just what I needed tonight.

I needed to be reminded that it is the month of LOVE. I needed to be reminded that even though life right now is extremely tough and we are under a lot of pressure as a family that the one thing we always have here at the Greene house is plenty of LOVE. Thank you sweet girl for reminding me!!
