There’s a Boilet on my Toilet

Last night we had a date night.  We hit up the Nike outlet and O’Charleys.  Hot right?  Totally.  Nike was really up on their presentation of dry-fit shirts.  Love!

When we got home we noticed there were little drawings stuck all over our house with funny names.  Susan had dressed up like Cat in the Hat and read the wee Kelley’s There’s a Wocket in my Pocket.  After the book they made different monster’s and gave them names.

There was a shone on our phone, a hink on our sink, a flock on our clock, a S.V. on our T.V., a gomputer on our computer, a boilet on our toilet, a hofa on our sofa, a zarpet on our carpet, a sall on our wall, a deiling on our ceiling, a bhair on our chair and a dirror on our mirror.

Have I mentioned that Susan is grand and a 1st grade teacher…you want her don’t you?  This morning the kids were beside themselves with excitement to see if we noticed all the little monsters all over the house.  It was bliss!

Today Sol and I ran a few errands while Harper and Hud were at MDO.  We found this fabric at Walmart and pretty sure Sol about peed himself with sheer joy.  He just stared and named off every super hero the entire shopping trip.

I got to have a good long chat with our Ethiopia director today.  Those talks are always so hopeful and yet, still so hard…at the same time.  Afterwards I made this 12×12 canvas.  I have no idea what I am going to do with it, but for today, it just needed to be created.

Tonight I am going to attempt rainbow velvet cupcakes…we shall see how that turns out.  I’ll let you know if it was super success or super fail 🙂  See you tomorrow.

  9. I totally want your sitter please!! Oh wait, Kansas is kind of far from Tennessee, DARN!! Our foster son would love a sitter like that! 😀 And the mosters were a total hoot!

    Your canvases are so lovely, that I would dub them, “Drool worthy!!” Love this one!

    And lastly, so sad our local Walmarts of gotten rid of their fabric departments! Because otherwise I’d be heading out to find that fabric! My foster son isn’t the superhero nut…lol…it’s my 20 yr old daughter! Lol! I know…my sweet daughter is a 5 yr old boy stuck in a 20 yr old body! ;D So thankful for her!! I heart her a LOT and having her work at JoAnn’s is a nice consolation for not having fabric at Walmart anymore!
