I think Eli and I have the same brain. Seriously. He was doing "homework" (in quotes because he's only in kindergarten) the other day and one of his assignments was to decode a message where a picture stood in for each letter. As soon as he decoded each word he read what he'd decoded so far. When he got to "Roses are red," he paused for a second and then said, "Well, yeah, but they could also be pink or yellow or white or some other color, right, Mommy?" Right. It was at that moment I knew that he will have all the same issues with standardized tests I always had. Sure, there's always one "best" answer, but who's to say that any number of other answers aren't equally valid, depending on what angle you're coming from? Sigh...
With that, I shall leave you with an "I love you" card I made. Why post it here? 1) It matches the title of this blog post. 2) I took no photos of Eli doing his homework. 3) I have ceased to be able to make layouts and can now only make cards. Mojo, where are you?
Note: the patterned paper in the background is another October Afternoon paper from the new Detours line. (The rub-ons are all also October Afternoon, although not new.)

that is PRICELESS viv! seriously, you should use that mojo and make a layout about eli's traits and how they are/will be similar to yours. LOVE that OA - can't wait for it to get to the store - sigh! hugs, rach
That is hilarious! He is going to grow up to be the philosopher chef. That card is adorable!
Roses really can be any color, go Eli, he really thinks with a creative mind! I love the card Viv, if only I could make such cute cards. Card making eludes me.
wow, he's so bright, that Eli. And he's already learned an important lesson most men should know: Roses don't always have to be RED! :P
P.S. We'll kick that mojo in the butt tonight! :)
maybe there's only one mojo in the world and we're all exchanging it with each other, the way kindergarteners swap colds. just a thought.
ask him what colors violets are too :)
gotta love their little minds! You don't think I took your mojo, do you?? :-O ;-)
