My paradigm shift for 2009, "24 hours a day of love and play" is not really in full effect right now. It just feels like the mountain of mess and chores piled up around me is insurmountable and I just can't stay on top of it. I think it may have something to do with my little Henny girl going through a separation anxiety phase where she needs to be held a lot and can't take it if I walk away for one second. AND my bigger boys have been quite demanding as well. I feel like it's all I can do to give them the attention they require in the afternoon and then still just have to manage to make supper in the generally destroyed-looking kitchen, put 'em to bed and clean up and crawl into bed exhausted. I KNOW this is just a short little phase... I know we'll be in an easier stretch shortly... but I'll tell you what I've been craving, probably thanks in large part to Kiera's inspiration, but I just want a big table full of art supplies and pretty paper and stuff to make valentines. VALENTINES! Lots and lots of valentines. And no the kids are not invited. Sorry kids.

When your kids are a little older you can totally do the family valentine's party. It becomes fun but only when the ages are a bit advanced. We did it yesterday and it ended up with Esme and I the last ones standing at the table piled high with red paper and cereal boxes and watercolors and glue. You'll get there sister. Just hang in.
