Da Vinci Scroll chapter 1

When MK came home I had a note card sitting on the kitchen counter for her. On the card I wrote: On the 3rd day it will be revealed. Go to the two at oceanview. Behind this picture you will find your next clue.

Weird Explosion

While MK was on the computer I came up to her and covered her eyes. Then I asked her to stick out her hands and keep her eyes closed. I placed a piece of paper in her hands and then asked her to open her mouth.

At the point she's freaking out and says that this is weird.

So pored some pop rocks in her mouth and told her to open her eyes. In her hands was a note which said You Rock.

Note: if you don't know what pop rocks are, it's candy. Small pieces of hard candy which literally pop when comes in contact with your tongue.

On My Mind

I came home today and MK immediately asked me "Why do you have my name on your forehead". I had written Mary Katherine across my entire forehead with a marker. I responded: I can't help it, you are just always on my mind. She chuckled a little.

Like Kraft Mac-n-Cheese. The Cheesiest.

Very Special Note

When we left from Church I placed a note card on the passenger seat for MK. The card read:

You're Special.
I always thank God for you 1 corinthians 1:4

Message in a bottle....of Rain X

I bought a bottle of Rain X (really works) and placed it on a cloth. Then I took the cloth and wrote I love you on the windshield. The great thing about Rain X is that it is invisible. When MK went out to the car it had rain so the water had beaded up to show the message.

Special Gumball

When we came home from soccer practice there was a present on the kitchen counter. Cameron and Eliza opened the present which was a gumball machine. Iasked MK if she could show them how it worked. So she put her hand out and the first gumball dropped into her hand. It turned out to be the wrong gumball. Then being the smooth guy I am, I pointed to the gumball which was positioned to come out first. On a gumball I wrote, I love you. It didn't quite work out the way I planned but atleast now we have a gumball machine in the house. Cool

Just Turn Around

MK came home and pulled the car in the garage. As she apporached the door there was a message which read: turn around. She turned around; nothing. Again; nothing. So she asked me what was she suppose to do. I told her: turn around. And as she was turning around I hit the button to close the garage door. Posted to the garage door: MK, I love you this much.

Angel Wings

I placed these wings in MK's closet for her to find. Attached was a note which read :

I was looking around and guess what I found.
I knew you were an angel, but didn't have proof until now.

I Adore... Shoe (polish)

Tonight I went to work with the white shoe polish. I wrote "I adore you" on the bathroom mirror. When MK came home she turned the light on and saw a simple message

Impromptu hug and kiss

While MK was outside with the kids I ran up to her and gave her a big hug and kiss. Then I told her that I read somwhere: If you love someone, hurry and show it. She was pleasantly surprised. When she came back inside there was the same phrase on a magnet I placed in the kitchen.

I just called to say....

I left a message on the answering machine for MK. On the message I sang the chorus from Stevie Wonder's song "I just called to say I love you."

Ad-jectives

Today I took a couple of Oprah magazines (don't get ahead of yourself) and cut out different words from some of the ads. I made a collage of words which remind me of MK and pasted them to a piece of paper. When I came home from work I brought in the mail. When MK sorted through the mail she saw the collage of adjectives and phrases I made for her.

My American Beauty

Tonight I attempted to recreate the scene from the movie American Beauty. I gathered a bunch of rose petals for a rose bush in the backyard. I placed them on the ceiling fan in the bedroom. The plan was to wait until she was in bed, however she noticed something on the fan blades. So I hit the fan switch and the pedal floated all over the bed. Then I gave her a note which read: you are my american beauty.

Lunchbox Note

Today we attended Cameron's very first school conference. I'm proud to say he received all 3's (equivalent to A's). After conference I took over the Wednesday night schedule so MK could go to work. It includes the following.
Take the kids to church. Take Cameron to choir and then go to the other side of church and drop off Eliza in child watch at 5:00. Go to parenting for boys class until 6:00. Cameron's teachers will bring him downstairs for dinner. I finish class and sign out Eliza then meet Cameron for dinner. Sign Cameron out fix 3 plates and let Cameron eat with his friends. Art in the Bible starts at 6:15 so I have to make sure he eats and then sign him in for this class. Let Eliza eat and then play and then pick Cameron up from his class at 6:45. Go home get them ready for bed. Brush teeth, read books, bible story, sleep.
When MK came home from work I told her that I forgot the empty Cameron's lunchbox from school. Inside was an empty lunchbox with a small note which read: It is AMAZING all of the little things you are able to do. I love you and thank you.

As seen on TV

We are back from our beach trip and excited about some of the shows we missed (DVR). So I took a marker and wrote on our bedroom TV, "If you were a TV show, I would watch you everyday". When she walked into the bedroom I asked her "what's on tv?"

All washed up

When we first arrived at the beach I wrote a short note and buried it in the sand. My plan was to take MK on a walk on the beach and then "stumble" onto this buried item. Unfortunately, it rained and the tide washed away my marker. Instead at night I brought MK a water bottle with "You quench my thirst" written on the side of it.

Classic

This weekend at this beach I decided to do the most clique romantic deed. I wrote I love you in the sand. But not only did I write it in the sand, I wrote it big enough for her to see from the 3rd floor of the beach house. I then went upstairs and told her to look at the window. And there was "I love MK"

Get you back

None of my brillant ideas were working to do at the beach so went to my back up plan. I told MK that I had something for her in my bag with her name on it. There was an envelope with a coupon for one free back rub.

My Best Friend's Message

Seth is one of my best friends and I hadn't talked to him in awhile. I left him a message saying I was calling to catch up and asked him for a favor. Shortly afterwards, MK received a call from Seth saying that I loved her very much. He also added that he did not feel awkward about leaving the message and he would like her to wax his nipples.

Moving bones

I found the mini note book and made a live action drawing. Title: You make me move. Then I had a stick figure (easily represents me) dancing once you flip through the pages.

Last Name: Kiss

This morning when I woke up for work I grabbed MK blackberry. I took a picture of me with my lips puckered up and added it to my profile in her phone. I also changed my name to read:
First Name: Cotie
Last Name: is giving you a kiss
So when she gets a call from me there is a picture of me smooching the screen.

Ring around the roses....

I folded a glow stick into a shape of a heart and placed it around the flower vase I gave MK. Beside the vase I place a heart-shaped note which read: I love you.

Fall for you

The leaves where starting to fall on the back patio so I decided to rake them together. This is what I ended up with.

Bedside Bunch

Tonight I brought home a bunch of mini roses and put them in a vase. I brought them in without MK noticing and placed them on her bedside table. When we got ready to go to bed she saw the flowers next to the bed.

Special Box

I brought home a special box for MK. I showed her this shiny box and told her she couldn't open it until later. I kept telling her that she would like it. I told her I was something that was really good. Something that she loved alot. After much teasing I gave her this shiny box. When she opened the box there was nothing but a note which read,"ME".

Discarded Fortune

MK was bringing home take out so when I helped her bring in the food I placed a fortune cookie inside the bag. My thought was MK would see it and ask about it. I would play dumb and have her open the fortune cookie. Wrong. This is how it went down. MK found the fortune cookie in the bottom of the bag and threw it in the trash. Not knowing that my clever surprise was in the trash can I was getting nervous. When I went to throw something away I look inside and saw a familiar fortune cookie. So then I tried to play dumb and ask why there was a fortune cookie in the trash. She had no clue at first and then asked me, "was I suppose to do something with that?" Then she opened her discarded fortune cooke to find the message : You will live a long, happy life with Cotie.
You never know where you will find your fortune

Spotlight/Glowsticks

Tonight I placed glow sticks in a tree in our backyard with the following poem attached.

Spotlight

flames flicker from candlelit hallways

floodlights above bridges; streetlights near driveways

sunrays stretch; peak above the horizon

following twinkles from star clusters and glowing crescent moons

rooms with logs burning inside fireplaces

flashlights lingering in the most dyre places

without you - darkness

your very presence resonates; nothing like your essence

life is a stage; you are the spotlight
