i told my husband tonight to go buy a bag of balloons.
it's 11:30pm.
there are no birthday's to celebrate.
there are no parties to plan for.
i just want my kids to know how much we love them.
they love balloons.
i wanted them to wake up with balloons in their room.
we'll do that later this week {hence the last minute request given to Pat}
but...
he then proceeded to write all these notes
and placed them
in the direct path
that they will go when they wake up in the morning.
i can't wait for them to wake up ♥
do simple things for your kids...
that's all they really want. isn't it?

That's Awesome. I bet they will be really excited when they wake up in the morning. What a cool mom.

AWWW! You guys are so awesome! Love that your hubby's got so into the project too! That's so sweet! :-D
Your path of lovey messages reminds me of the scavenger hunt I send my kids on for Easter Eggs and sometimes their birthdays. When the kids are too young to read, I sketch pictures of where they should look for the first one, then when they find it there's also a picture clue for the next one with it. Once they're able to read, I write a single word clue that rhymes with what it's hiding near. The older kids get more elaborate clues. :-D
My kids also love it when I leave them a little note or card on top of their school clothes in the morning, tucked in their shoe or backpack, or sometimes resting on their seat at the breakfast table. :-)

What a sweet idea:-) I'm making sure that each of mine get at least 1000 kisses per day:-) And one big squeeze to remind them that they should stay little and huggable as long as possible:-)

That's awesome! It's nice to do something special like that for the kids. I have to admit I sometimes forget.

Oh Brandin that is sooooo wonderful. What a thrill your kids must have felt. Absolutely that's what kids want. It's the simple thing that send the most powerful messages of love.
How loved your kids must have felt waking up to this.
