Shamrock Legs


She's all ready for St. Patrick's Day. She's got her new green dress, her green vintage coat, and her new Shamrock Legs. No snakes are going to get her today!

Thank you for the well-wishes yesterday. She's a trooper. She went to see the specialist yesterday and they removed the splint and just taped the two fingers together. He said that fingers tend to stiffen up when splinted, but when taped between the joint, they have better mobility. She's giddy to the point of giggling over this. So much better than having to wrap and re-wrap her hand in gauze several times a day. She'll go back in two weeks for another x-ray.

She picked out green Jell-O yesterday, so we'll make that today. (I also picked up pistachio pudding, but I'm not quite sure the children will be brave enough to try it.) And, I guess tonight is our annual "green eggs and ham" dinner.

What green do you have going on today?

Cute! I don't have anything special planned for St. Patty's day. Maybe I should. I can be such a slacker. ;o)

my 10 year old thought that he was too old for the wearing of green on st.pats day, until his older brother gave him a good pinch. then he just made a mark on his arm with a green marker. that wasn't going to work, so i found him a green tshirt to wear to school. oh, i remember the days of st. pats day at school. if i didn't find him something to wear, he'd come home with bruises up and down both arms i'm sure!

What you explained about Spenser's fingers is exactly how they treated my Audrey. And now, three and a half years (or more) later, she is fine with no reprecussions. Glad she's doing so well! And those leggies are adorable!

Hope her little fingers are better soon.

Btw, Charlotte wears her Valentine's day legs ALL THE TIME. Loves 'em!

CUTE LEG WARMERS!

So cute, in fact, that I'd totally wear those myself.

Instead I have on my favorite green heels. Let's be honest though, they're my favorite shoes, period.

Nothing says cute feet like 4inch grass green stilletos.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
