Sweet Surprises

Today I taught the boys how to cut paper snowflakes. It lasted about 5 minutes before they used the paper and scissors to make whatever they wanted. Duke eventually asked me for a glue stick and a short time after that, he produced these gems.





He called them "sweet surprises" and he was as pure as the driven snow as he said it. He said the sweet surprises were for girls and he eventually bagged them up in individual baggies with a lifesaver inside. A sweet surprise, indeed. He delivered a bulk of them to our good friend Meara.

Duke is so good. He's just so pure in all of his intentions. I envy the girl he marries because she will be treasured. Duke is going to be the suave romantic and I fear girls will be all over him.

I laughed all day about the sweet surprises. May we all have such a simple token of affection.
