And it really was... Wednesday, Paul & Dean came out to finish hanging crown and trim in the hall bath, to replace the brick molding around the fireplace, and to fix the side door frame. It all looks AMAZING! Especially the bathroom. I still have to paint all the trim, but it really looks so good. I tried to get on track for Vintage Fresh this week, and I had a little success. I completed a 5 foot round rug out of 5.5 pairs of jeans that I'm pretty proud of. It would be great to take to the beach, camping, on picnics, or just about anywhere because it's super durable/washable and cute. Can you beat that? I didn't think so :) I also made 30 woven Danish heart pockets out of felt for Bella to put her finger puppet valentines in for her classmates. Yes, the idea came straight from Pinterest, but it was relatively easy and the end result turned out very cute. Friday, I helped Jen H. repair and create some new mic bags for CPCC. That took some time, but it is always nice to hang out and chat. Bella found out that she got the narrator part in her school play next month, and she couldn't be more excited. She told me that Miss Alexa chose her because when she writes and reads she does so with feeling and emotion, which is very true. Growing up, my Dad used to tell us to do things with more feeling/emotion, so when I heard Bella tell me this, it was like listening to my Dad :) She is so much like him sometimes it's scary, but in a good way ;)
Yesterday, Saturday, we went to breakfast at Jimmie's before Bella and I headed out to pick up Allie for a sleepover. While out there, I did a quick photo shoot of La and her friend Jenn because they just recently wrote a children's book together and it is getting ready to be published! They needed a picture for their book jacket and asked me if I would help them out to which I replied of course! If you can't tell, I'm very, very proud! Post photo shoot, I loaded up the girls and we headed back home. I edited a few photos before taking a shower and meeting Jen H. to go see a play, "Jack Goes Boating." It was terrible. I've never seen a terrible play before, so there's that, but I mean ugh. Worst part was, we couldn't leave at intermission because Jen's friend was in the play, and we were supposed to meet up with her afterwards. Thankfully, her friend was too tired to hang, so we got to leave after all, but not until enduring 2 hours of a bad story that relied too heavily on taboo subjects (pot smoking, foul language, sex), and never seemed to absorb me in. I still had fun checking out a new theater, and spending an evening with my bud, so all was not lost.
Now it's Sunday. The girls were up at 6:30, and had turned the living room into a messy art studio before I could have my first cup of coffee. They made some great creations though, and it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to see them put their imaginations to work. The big announcement for today though is... Bella lost her very 1st tooth! That sucker has been hanging on by a thread for a couple of weeks now, and today she was brave enough to finally let me pull it. The one next to it will be falling out any day now as well, and she will be left with a nice gap on the bottom :) I remember when that tooth came in because it was her first and only for a long time. They really do grow up tooooooooo fast. Now she and Allie are building towers with Dixie cups and listening to Pandora on this chilly Sunday morning. I guess Queen Charlotte the groundhog was right when she predicted 6 more weeks of winter. 3rd cup of coffee, here I come!
