The Happenings Of The Last Three Days

We've had many events in the last few days. The recurring theme, however, has probably been sickness. Willa's not felt well the last 3 days, Mommy's first day down is today, and I was down yesterday. But the good news is that I am completely recovered and I even organized our dining room, cleaned the basement (those who've seen our house know that this is no easy task), and got out of bed before 9!
Seth, right after he had fallen down almost an entire flight of stairs with a helmet, the above "sword" and sunglasses. All he said was, "I want my sunglasses." :) This kid's gonna rule the world someday.

Yesterday, since I wasn't feeling well, I was excused from regular chores. I practically locked myself in my sewing room. It was a slow day, though. All I did was make Emma a petticoat, Willa a pair of bloomers, and myself a pillowcase (above) that I actually decided to bead while Daddy and I discussed a website we are designing. Oh, and all of that was made out of a flat twin sheet. Plus, I have some left over which I'm planning on using one of these days... :)

Wanna hear the main subject of our dinner conversation? It started when Emma made the comment, "By the way, nobody eat the raw brownies I made today. They taste like dryer sheets." :) I guess what happened is that right before Emma put it into the dish, she washed it out and failed to lick it to make sure she had gotten all of the lavender dish soap off, before putting the dessert in the dish. I noted that lavender was edible and that sent us on a string of "wouldn't ___ dryer sheets taste good?" Yes, we were talking dryer sheets again, not dish soap. Here are some of our "blanks:"

chocolate dryer sheets
strawberrry "
cherry "
apple pie "
cream cheese danish "
roasted salmon "

I laughed the hardest at "roasted salmon dryer sheets" when Daddy said it! :)
After that when everybody else was up from the table, Daddy and I were talking about funny things Seth did. He related the following story:

"The other day, Seth was running through the living room and stopped suddenly. He put his arms straight out at his sides and then just fell straight forward to the floor. He didn't even put his hands out to catch himself." :)

I'm tellin' ya, he's gonna rule the world. Well, I better go now. All of dinner needs cleaned up and then I have to edit a couple videos, make Elsie a pair of bloomers, and practice piano. Tootle-loo!
