valentines to go by OWL POST

My hubby has been reading the Harry Potter series to my girls since October.  They are completely enchanted by this world of magic and cannot get enough of it….”Can you read now Dadda!?” is the most common request around here nowadays!  They are on the sixth book right now and loving every moment.  I am a bit surprised that my 7 year old is not finding parts of it scary, but she insists it is fine and the only issue she has is that she has to stop Dimitri every once in awhile for a word definition.  I love to see them enjoying this world with their dad and am thrilled to see him reading to them with such enthusiasm (sometimes for hours at a time!).

They are reading together on the couch right now, Harry Potter snuggles by the fire.  This is something I know they will remember for always.  Perhaps that is why I decided to make owl Valentine’s this year?  Maybe I was inspired by all the talk of receiving a letter or card in the Owl Post?  Was the universe helping me along in this direction when a random online search for Valentine’s printables led me to this collection of owl cards?  How perfect!

On Friday morning, I will tuck these cards into the wings of the handmade owl stuffies my dear friend Jane made for the girls.  When they wake up they will see that they have some OWL POST waiting for them (and it will be full of my love!).
