Home improvement in progress

I realized midway I should be wearing safety goggles, but it was too dark and cold out to look in the shed.

So I took Ethan's from his Magic School Bus chemistry set. Shhh!

Stay tuned for my big one day project reveal!

Cuddles may resume!

Remember how I shared that we broke our sofa after 6 years of snuggles and show watching?

Today we found it's replacement! In the as-is section of Bob's Discount Furniture. (Hey, we still have two small boys, now's not the time for a bigger investment!)

It looked deep and comfy in the store, but seemed to grow in size once it tried to fit in our car!  The loading crew told Chris, "sorry, man, no way that will fit!"  Then they sat back and watched.

Chris made it fit. Nothing stops us from a good deal!

Our friend helped us move it in and, woah. This couch is way bigger than in the show room. I mean we measured and all but WOW.

Just more room for the boys to grow and still snuggle!

We've broken our sofa

With too many morning cuddles.

Seriously, we are shopping for a new one that can handle the snuggles.

The Cowboys Have a New Mascot

Gavin switched his helmet for a cowboy hat and put his Cowboys cape over his Romo jersey.

Bouncing away on his horse, he hollered YEEE HAAAAAWWWW! GOOOOO COWBOYS!

For 45 minutes.

What's the address in Dallas for the audition tape submission?

I'd take being sick any day

Over my baby being sick! 

The cold turned out to be strep.  Who knew strep was accompanied by vomiting? Apparently that's par for the course along with his fever, chills, aches, and of course, very sore throat.

Three days out this week, two days out for pink eye a week ago. Remember what I said about how do parents keep their jobs?!

I had one very nauseous snuggly boy and another very active boy who wanted the couch cuddles to end and "TACKLE!" 

Sorry Gavin.  I promise we'll play football tomorrow.

Cootie Costume

Ethan caught the cold. I think Gavin's pulling out all the stops to scare away the germs.

No sick leave here

A little hot tea and honey to keep going during my cold. Blech, I'm feeling miserable.

Using a mug I made in pottery class brightened my day though!
