Back pack treasures

I don’t know about you but I usually try to clean out my boys back packs once a week.  Being that last week was a little crazy with family stuff I did not get it cleaned out and so yesterday I was cleaning out middle brother’s back pack and I found valentines note that he wrote to me.  I saw that the paper was all folded so nicely and there was hearts on the paper and I was looking forward to reading about how awesome I am as a mom, or how pretty I am, or even how much he loves me – what I found was not that at all…

Are you kidding me child?!?!  This kid is on my valentines beggin’ to do the laundry?  I thought I was in some sort of twilight zone.  But then as I kept cleaning out his back pack I found another note… I thought maybe, this would be the note to me telling me what a great mom I am…
