Pickles, Pumpkin, Peanut & Puddin'

Wow!  Time flies when you’re cooped up swapping germs back and forth.  BLAH!  DH came down with a nasty cold/flu on a Sunday night and didn’t get off the couch until Wednesday.  Then Peanut was hit with an awful croup on Tuesday, Pumpkin and Pickles joined the crowd with a fever virus on Wednesday.  It was a regular party!  I managed to survive until the next week when everything needed to get back to normal.  So, we painfully used up 6.5 vacation days being sick together.  We also consumed massive amounts of PB&J and watched enough movies to fulfill our screen time quota for the year. 

BUT…the coughs are finally gone, the laundry finally caught up, and school is back in session.  So, I’m hoping to resume blogging.  We are entering convention season a time when many homeschoolers turn their minds and hearts towards next years planning.  I’ve had some notes on curriculum and planning in my book for a long time and I’m hoping to get to them soon. 

In all things I will praise God for He is alone the one to please this day.  -med

We’ve had a long 10 days here. Daddy was sick with a bad respitory flu, Peanut had a bad croup, Pickles and Pumpkin had a fever virus and now momma is dealing with bad sinus headaches and fatigue from caring for all.

This is suppose to be our Spring Break but we’re spending it laying around and hanging out in pjs. I’m hoping to get some sewing done and catch-up on school left undone from yesterday.

We did manage to celebrate Peanut’s 3rd birthday. I’ll upload photos soon. We were sad to have to cancel our plans with gma and papa.

Off to get snacks and rest some more.

We love using the Scripturally based products that Doorposts offers.  They have a new blog and are offering a giveaway today of a choice of “Polished Cornerstones” or “Plants Grow-Up”.  Go check out their new blog…Doorposts of Your Home.

I finished my second UFO finish from Judy’s challenge. It was actually #10 on my list. I made it from the “Recipe For Friendship” line by Mary Engelbreit and used Carrie Nelson’s Schnibbles pattern “Plan C”.

I bought this fabric a couple of years ago when I first saw it because I loved the colors. After buying the fabric I painted the bathroom a beautiful blue color to go with the quilt (that wasn’t made yet). I love the bathroom color but now that the quilt is finished the room feels so happy and complete.

I’m participating in the UFO challenge over at Patchwork Times.  I finished my #6 project today.

I bought the pattern for the stitchery while in Colorado in 2002.  I finished the stitching last year but put it in a drawer to finish “later”.  I’m so glad that this little snow man is done and gracing our wall.
