A Little Bit of Whimsy

Daddy Mock and I split ways and kids today. It was strange. He was in San Jose working on a demo project with Carter,

and I was here, working on this with Everett:

I was directed to a book, "The Creative Family" (great, great book, btw), by my friend, Cyndi. For celebrations, this family used a cloth banner, just like the one above. How genius! I love the idea of always having it on hand, to bring it out whenever there's a cause for celebration. And, as stated below, we have birthdays coming up, so now is a better time than ever to create. After completion, I hung it up to see how it looked. It brought such a joyful and whimsical feel into our home, I think I may keep it up for a few days.

And I think the boys' rooms need one too...

The Replacement

Who came, kidnapped my son and replaced him with a terror?

I'm not sure if most kids work like this, but I know mine does. Approximately every six months or so he goes through a very obnoxious, emotional, and trying stage. Daddy Mock and I step up to bat for a good week before we're both just weary and ready for it to end. It's been that week.

"Terrible Two's" never really hit our home, however, something is welcoming the "Terrific Three's" in an evil evil way. Shame on you.

Need Xanax. Need sleep.

Ooh, on a good note, I just scored at the Salvation Army--pretty much clothed my entire family and got some fun vintage fabric for under $14. There is a God and he loves me.
