- Thomas and I are at home today. He is sick, and I'm not too much better. I might have enough energy to tackle the huge mountain of laundry that's accumulated.
- It's freeeeezing out today. I have to say that, despite having lots of winter fun on the weekend, I'm getting mighty tired of winter already. Maybe that trip down south made me a winter sissy this year. I dunno.
- I can't figure out how to cut open this tennis ball that's sitting next to me. Someone isn't feeling well enough to go to school, but his creative flame is still burning strong. He wants to make a tennis ball face, with a slit for the mouth and yarn for hair and googly eyes and... That kid is an artist, even when he's got a fever and a cough and can barely eat or drink.
- Two more sleeps until Valentine's Day. My boys are very excited.
- I wonder if I should bother to bake heart-shaped cookies for their classes. If I could find a place that sold nut-free treats, I'd pay big bucks to avoid the stress of baking.
- Why is it that I only seem to burn cookies and muffins when I'm planning to send them to school?! The boys' teachers must think I'm a terrible homemaker. Burnt baked goods, crappy boxed lunches, pants with holes in the knees...
- My scrap desk is a mess again... paper, paper, paper!
- I've purged some of my paper collection. I've chosen some of the older lines of flowery paper to give to the noon hour clubs at Thomas' school.
- Eeek! I have to make a sample project for the Craft Club this Friday. I think it'll be door hangers. Whose name should I put on the sample? Anyone want a door hanger?! ;)
- Man, I feel terrible. I'd better get off the computer and make myself another cup of coffee. Oh and get going on that tennis ball face.
ETA: We did it! I managed to cut a slit in the ball without incurring any injuries, and I discovered that Pioneer brand double-sided memory tape does, in fact, stick to a fuzzy tennis ball surface without much difficulty.
Have a great Monday, my friends! :)
That tennis ball face is too cute! I'm always amazed at your boys' creativity... and yours too! ;D
I'd say that you can use one of my girls' name on the door hanger but that would only mean that there would be some need for a second one... LOL So you're on your own! :P
