The title of this post comes from the inside of a Dove chocolate piece. Each of them have little sayings on the inside of them and I got this one on two of my pieces today... I won't say how many I actually ate to have two of the same, but boy were they good! I think they saying has a nice message. To me it says to be happy, find the good, and enjoy life. It's nice. I used to love to go dancing so reading that (while getting to enjoy a silky smooth piece of chocolate) put a smile on my face.
So, as much as I love chocolate, James does love it more - and, a VERY close second to him is our little Kate... in fact, I am thinking they may be closer to a tie. The other day (and almost this exact same scenario has happened before) we gave Kate a treat - I'm not sure why we still say treat... in our house they are more like staples - anyhow, we gave her a treat and when she saw it she got a kinda creepy smile (almost like that freaky guy in the Lord of the Rings movies - the creature who finds the ring), pulled it close with a death grip and said, " I LOVE CHOCOLATE!"
We just have to laugh now. It's constant. She is asked what her favorite food is and she replies that it is chocolate. Donuts - chocolate, Milk - chocolate, Everything - chocolate. She even asked for chocolate on her noodles the other day instead of spaghetti sauce. Hrmmm... She's not addicted, is she???
Now we come to this morning... the munchkins got their usual boxes of chocolate from James and me. Since Kate is in afternoon kindergarten she had several hours to enjoy her goodies. She had been playing in the living room (I was in the kitchen - where her chocolates happened to be) and she came in and said, "I want to eat a chocolate from my heart"... almost as soon as that was out of her mouth she continued and said, "I mean... a FEW chocolates!"
I can't finish a Valentine's Day post without putting up a picture of a special Valentine's treat Caleb made for us this year... He did this for James and me a couple of days ago... Such a sweetheart - always thinking of others.
