Sometimes Hadley drops us notes. Here are some of my recent favorites:
This was slipped under our bedroom door around 5:45 in the morning. It was nice that she left a couple of lines to write a response.
Here’s a note she wrote during a timeout.
In case you can’t read it: “Dear Daddy, People can be mean sometimes but that doesn’t mean they go to jail or timeout. ~Hadley” (Note the squiggly before her name. I have no idea where she got that from.)
I think this one is my favorite. Hadley had a conundrum with her sister who was snoring at bedtime. She came out once to discuss the problem and Jesse went in to see if turning Harper over might stop the snoring. A few minutes later, a paper airplane came flying out of the girls’ room. Here’s what it said:
“I can still hear her, but I am used to this volume.” I think that’s a great slogan for motherhood.
This is awesome – what a great laugh this morning!
Thanks, Marcia!
These are so great! Thank goodness she has you for a mom instead of me so that this stuff will actually get saved for future reading! You guys must have such a blast being her parents. She is such a smart cookie.
I take no credit. It’s these nice phones with cameras on them. I click away and come up with a post when I have enough of them. 🙂 With Hadley, it doesn’t take too long.
These are hilarious! Can I use “can’t read the alarm clock” as an excuse to be late for work?
Yes, Keri, I think that’s a fine excuse. 🙂 My favorite part of that note is the “two problems” part. Just two. Oh, to only have two problems at 5:45 in the morning.
These are the cutest notes ever! Thanks so much for sharing; they made my day 🙂 I hope your program is going well. I miss you!
Thanks, Shelley! I miss you, too! Hope you’re doing well and finding lots to do in your new digs!
I think that Hadley is a genius. Either that or you’ve birthed another Seinfeld.
Ha! She is quite good at picking making the ordinary pretty extraordinary.
LOL! Your kids are brilliant. These are hilarious. I am with you; the last note is the best. “I’m used to this volume.”
Thanks, Sarah!
wait. where is jesse’s squiggly? i have to say, i am *loving* the kid-writing-notes stage. i’m impressed you woke up for the note at 5:45. i don’t think i would have… which would have resulted in many, many more notes i’m sure.
I know! He needs to understand proper note signing etiquette, don’t you think?
These are priceless!!! Love it!!!!
Thanks, Erin!
