Mailbox Fun

** This morning I woke up and found a sweet little note in the shape of a heart made out of graph paper. Cracked me up a bit....Jeremy and his graph paper!! So fun though. **

Target has these cute little mailboxes in the dollar bin along with the sticky letters. I actually planned ahead when I anticipated a snow day a couple of weeks ago and had these ready to decorate. It started out just three (one for J, C and A). I felt bad that B didn't have one even though he can't eat the treats or read so I picked up one for him and decided we can still write notes to him and put them in his little memory book. Well, it was so much fun I decided I wanted one and wanted to get Jeremy one too. So we had six!

Then......the neighbor boy came over and he said, "Where's mine??" OOPS. I acted like I had one for him all along and sent Jeremy on a quick run to Target. I love him and all the stuff he does for me like this. He ran to Target and got a box and extra treats and another thing of letters and now the neighbor boy has a box. I'm sure he will be here to get his treats too!!


I have been thinking a lot about what I want my kids to remember. Sometimes we have big expectations for little people. I want them to know that they are LOVED just because of who they are!! My goal is to leave them little notes that tell them different things that I love about who they are not things they do.

It has been fun to get special notes, hearts, and artwork in my box. Cara is especially into this!! She's a sweetie. Jeremy left me a snowball last night...I was hoping for some candy :).

What a fun idea. I saw those too and thought about doing this for Elli. Now that you have given so many ideas, I think I will start this for all of us. Great idea and how much fun:)
