Hurricanes!

It was one of those days. Four small hurricanes blew toys and debris from one end of the house to the other. There were more toys on the floor than any child could hope to pick up and put away. It even looked overwhelming to me. Years ago I purposed to see those toys as jewels, but today they weren't sparky or shiny. There was bickering too and maybe that was really what put me over the edge... then again, maybe it's just my seeming inability to cope with constant noise and confusion.

Bethany came for a visit and Jakie found a warm spot on my lap and climbed up for a snuggle. Nice. Since the kids had strewn play food and dishes across the floor, I decided to try one one of my kid aprons on Jake. Cute. I like the little aprons, and since my good friend Brenda had lent me her sewing machine, I think I'll put together a few more. I have some more fabric and it's been waiting a long time to be used.

    1. My sewing machine typically hides in my closet, which probably why it doesn't work. :P
