random busi-ness

Wow. It's been more than two weeks since I've blogged. Ouch. I'm pretty sure that's a record since I began this lovely life script. Here's a quick description (and a few correlating photos) of my last few weeks. Hold tight. It's a slight whirlwind of randomness.

  • I found cute chairs for my living room (pictures to come when I finish my living room...or at least get closer.)
  • Graham fell down and bonked his head.
  • I sewed a few pillows to brighten up my living room.

  • Parker hit his head on the train table inducing a lump and bruise that would have everyone in Kanawha county wondering if I beat my child. No, really, you should see the looks I've gotten. Thanks Parker. (He's holding a football ice pack on his injury.)
  • I reupholstered a bench in my living room...and managed to staple my hand. And yes, it hurts as bad as it sounds like it would, especially when you are using an industrial stapler. I had to pull the staple out of my hand muscle. Super fun. At least I like the outcome...of the bench, that is. (This wretched i-phone picture makes me crave a nice camera...one day.)

  • Graham fell. 
  • I made a few valentine shirts for friends and family.
  • Graham slipped and fell.
  • Our Family joined the YMCA in hopes of...well, I don't have super high hopes. Health is number one, right?
  • I organized and hosted a Valentine party for my 3 year old's preschool class. All the teachers of preschool children deserve gold medals.
  • Graham fell yet again.
  • I made a few necklaces using material and gumballs. What? I saw it on a blog. I liked the necklaces but feel they lacked just a little something. I'll figure it out.

  • David got sick.
  • Parker got sick
  • Graham got sick, really sick...and then fell. He got to sleep with me for 2 nights. He was struggling to breathe and I felt more comfortable with him close to me.

  • I got a tooth excavated and packed with metal. I'm sorry if it's a bit dramatic, but it sounds more accurate than "got a filling."
  • I went blonder, and am really enjoying something different for a change.
  • Graham fell.
  • I had a wonderful Valentine dinner with the best husband in the world.

  • I enjoyed a birthday lunch with David and my wonderful WV family. Happy birthday, Babe, you truly are the best!
  • Graham fell.

Ok, so there you have it. A lot of sewing, decorating, falling, and celebrating going on in my life. It's a complicated good life.

I can't believe you sewed those pillows! WOW, I am jealous! Sounds like you have been busy keeping Graham from falling, hope they are all well now....

Poor klutzy Graham. :(

LOVE the blond. Seriously. You have always been beautiful- but the V day pic above is definitely va va va voom.

Stop beating Parker. Or at least tell the train table to stop.

The pillows are beautiful- great job!

Happy birthday Dave!!!

Voom can clean up anything. Voom is very very hard to get. Only little cat Z has Voom.

You forgot to post that while you were at the YMCA, Graham fell. And come to think of it, while we were on the phone today, he fell again! Just love him...and all of you!!

I LOVE that second pillow! The rectangle one. The fabric is fantastic!!!
I hope the kids are feeling better.
Your hair looks great. I have a small love affair with highlights (ssshhh, don't tell the hubs.)
