possibly the best time of the day…
there’s not much to do from underneath piles of covers in a sick bed… so i was keeping entertained this morning by visiting my sis-in-law’s blog and she inspired me to go window shopping over at etsy. what a great way to pass the hours! here are some favorites:
I was cleaning up my files & folders from 2009 and got stuck in May… I hadn’t even looked at these images from a tea party we did at my mom’s house. These are especially meaningful – and worth getting distracted from my work – particularly since Miss Ruby moves tomorrow. I’m already crying…
thoren couldn’t get enough of wrestling with junior – i thought this puppy “attack” would make thoren back off, but he thought it was hilarious and kept right on chasing the dogs, playing with their tails, and licking them back… a little much for me – but he does love those doggies!
it really is too bad that all of these family photos happened to be on wear-your-pajamas-over day… perhaps next year we’ll actually get dressed for some photos together!
happy birthday to Jesus – thank you for bringing JOY to the world!
he was SO excited to get dressed up for the performance at school – he had the tie and shirt picked out and pressed the night before. he let me do his hair and he brushed his teeth extra good. i asked myself, should i take his picture before we get in the car or once we’re at school with all his buddies? i should know by now that i need to take the photo the first chance i get, because there usually isn’t a second chance.
sure enough, once i found my seat in the auditorium and got settled with video and still cameras ready, harry’s mom runs up to tell me: “i thought you’d be curious about the tie – it won’t be making it to the performance. the bottom half took a swim in the toilet at bathroom break. i wrapped it up in paper towels and it’s in his cubby.”
mrs. d.d. brought her bag of tricks and goodies to entertain the boys – they created a life-size snow boy Anders to hang in the front window for a lovely Christmas decoration! it’s really adorable, complete with uggs and scarf and hat. the idea was to get a life-size snow boy Thoren, too, but, as you can see on the couch in the background, Thoren slept through craft time.
my cousin, jon, and brother, garrett, made us extremely happy with a table delivery a couple weeks ago. i was thrilled about the table (it’s the one i grew up eating at – my mom agreed to trade tables with me for a while)… and thoren was thrilled about jon’s truck… and i think jon was thrilled that someone besides him would want to take photos of his beloved truck!
