Crazy Snowman

We are in Boston and today we got a snowstorm come through and drop about 7 inches of snow. So I was outside with the kids and we did some sleding and made a small snowman. A bit later while everyone was occupied I hopped on my sister in laws computer and printed out a sign. I then attached it to the snowman. It read:
Hey, I know I look crazy but Cotie is crazy in love with you, MK

I sent MK the following list of words to her email with the tag line:

A couple of days...

We are going to Boston this week to see MK's family so I decided to write on the calender at home. Each day consisted of spending time with the woman I love. On friday I added I would be frozen by then but spending time with the love of my life.

Bare Neccesities

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Today was a great Chistmas day. Santa visited the kids and left a lot of good gifts. After we finished with all the gifts I gave MK her gifts (we were not suppose to get eachother anything). I gave MK some bare neccesities.

Message to Mrs. Claus

I sent MK the following email message:

I just want to say in advance i'm greatful for tonight
Christmas is when we bring our kids such wonderful delight
And even if we no longer believe in Santa's flight
At least we get a chance at a long, late date night.

I love you, thanks for being my Mrs. Claus

Let the sunshine in

This morning I took a slip of paper I typed up and stuck it to the inside rear windshield for MK when she got in the car which said: You are my sunshine!

How Sweet

Cameron had to gingerbread workshop party today at this house. With the help of Nana, Cameron invited a couple of friends over to make gingerbread houses. The kids made some really good houses and seemed to have a lot of fun. After the party MK went to the store and I decided to take some of the goodies and make something for her. I took the candies and icing and wrote the following message: MK you are my sweetness.

Mary Katherine
I Love You
Cotie

Love Quote on a String

In our garage whe have a ball hanging from a string because we have closed our garage door on both cars. So, I took a large balloon and tie it to the string in the garage for MK to see when she came home. I also attached a note with the following quote

I love you not only for who you are, but for what you are when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but what you are making of me.
-- Roy Croft

Plenty Enough

I gave MK a box of Good and Plenty and placed labels above and below the logo to read: You are Good & Plenty enough for me!

Kiss Coupon

Tonight I gave MK a Holiday Coupon Card. Inside were tear apart coupons for things such as massage, one night off, and free smooch etc. I told MK she could use the free smooch multiple times and that there was no expiration date on that one.

Lost in Translation

I painted MK a picture of the Chinese symbol of love. It honestly was not that good. Ok, it was pretty pitiful but only because I had the wrong brush. :)

No Fancy Words

Today I picked up a small chalk board and wrote a web link on it. When MK went to the link the below picture showed up.

Ain't No Women Like The One I Love

This morning before heading to work I placed a mini disco ball in MK's car. On it I wrote Play CD. In the player was a CD with some oldies on it. I queued up THE FOUR TOPS song - Ain't No Woman (Like The One I Got).


Chorus:
Oooh, (ain't no woman like the one I've got)
Oh, no, they don't come better(To make her happy doesn't take a lot)
She don't ask for things, no diamond rings(So together, like a hand in glove)
Like pages in a letter(Ain't no woman like the one I love)

Stuck with me

Tonight I waited until MK went to bed and we turned out the lights in the bedroom. I grabbed her hand and told her that I was glad she got stuck with me. Then I took a chinese figure trap and put it on her finger.

Note: never buy a cheap chinese figure trap, doesn't really work all that well.

Blown Away

MK went to grab her hair dryer from the bathroom today. Went she went to use it she saw I had placed a label on the side of it which said " You Blow Me Away".

Consider the Lilies

I came home and brought MK a bunch of lilies.

Extra crispy laughs

We drove up to Boone with Nana and Poppi to cut down our Christmas tree. Highly recommend it to everyone. It was great picking out a tree in the middle of the mountains with snow falling. Anyway, on the way back I made a joke about her moms cookies being "extra crispy" We laughed to eachother for several minutes before her mom asked what we were laughing about and thumped me on the shoulder. When we got home I told MK that moment in the car was great and just another reason why i'm in love with her. She gets me!

That wasn't really doing anything for the day so I also changed out screensaver to say Infinity plus one.

Lasting flower

MK was commenting on how she had to throw out the roses she received for her birthday because they were dead. So I waited a few minutes and grabbed her from behind and handed her a flower. It was a soft plush flower so she wouldn't have to worry about throwing this one out in a couple of days.

I thought it was funny that eventhough this was not a real flower she still took a sniff when I first handed it to her.

I Love Dove

MK was taking her shower this morning and went to grab the soap. She quickly realized that I carved I Love You into our Dove soap bar.

Love at first sight words

Cameron has a list of sight words which we are to work on for homework. I took the words and wrote them on index cards. I then mix in a couple of my own words. So the whole family was sitting at the kitchen table and Cameron worked through a couple of words. Then he got to MY followed by DADDY and then IS IN LOVE i had to help him with WITH (tricky) MY MOMMY. Turned out to be cute because he didn't know what he was saying.

Cafe Birthday

Today is Mary Katherine's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. This morning I gave MK her present before I headed to work. Tonight I made dinner and afterwards I invited MK on a date. I set up the formal living room with two chairs in the center of the room and a table in front. Earlier I picked up a couple of lattes and sat them on the table. So we sat down in our pajamas, with Bob Marley playing in the background and had a little coffee date.

It was great even with an unexpected guess. Eliza took a late nap today so she joined in on the fun.

Holding a spot with love

I placed a bookmark on MK's bed side table. On the bookmark is the following quote:
"Where there is love, there is life" --Mahatma Gandhi
