a little of this and that

I don't have anything very specific to blather about today. It just seems to be a normal sort of Monday- errands, recess monitoring (where I get to wear a whistle), dishes, laundry...etc. etc.  There was, however, a coon skin on my entry way floor.

I love Sophie (just a little) when she lays like that.  There was also a bit of art going on in our kitchen.  My friend's husband works for the local newspaper and every now and then she brings us the ends of the newspaper rolls (think last few squares on the toilet paper).  These ends are not big enough to print anything substantial on so they are pretty much useless to the Pressman.  She tells me that they actually sell them to the public for a couple of bucks- it may be worth checking out in your area.

I love covering the table with this paper.  Sometimes we color directly on it with colored pencils or markers, other times it makes a great tablecloth- like when painting with someone who is not yet 2.  By the way, the cute smocks came from Morgan and you can find them in her etsy shop.  This little painting project kept them busy long enough so that I could prep dinner.

Makin' this.  A very tasty way to get your Omega 3's.    And lastly, Hannah brought home her Valentine's Day card for me.  She made it at school and "it had to dry" so I wasn't able to receive it on the rightful day.  The outside was beautifully decorated (sorry no picture) but catch what it said inside:

   

She dictated her thoughts to her teacher.  What a fruit she is....the jungle???  I am glad that she gave me props for my dancing though- I so deserve that one!

ps: Is three. long. weeks. really necessary?  I am ready for Ms. Bennet and Mr. Darcy to hook up already!
