Raising 2 crafty boys and thrifting every chance I get.

We’re scrapping bottom of the barrel here.  Froot Loops I mean organic locally grown cereal rounds purchased from the farmers market held in our community garden, threaded onto elastic for jewelry, games and snack.  My oldest said, “Next time we should use dental floss so we can eat and clean our teeth at the same time.”

Everyone is sick of being sick, I’m sick of children’s television, and we’re all ready for a change of scenery and dare I say, a change of COMPANY.

The junk folks came yesterday for the toxic sofa and rug.  I have to say as someone who tends to be a collector of junk, I am really enjoying the open space.  We are using a crib mattress as a sofa until the new one is delivered which works perfectly for the kids to get their nebulizer treatments!

I need to go see a movie by myself, any recommendations?

Forgive me, I’ve got 2 boys with pneumonia and I am tired and wearing my cranky pants.  I am recording this so I can bandy  the story about some time in the future, prom night or wedding toast perhaps.

My oldest son just put on a dress-up costume, complete with a wooden knife, and said, “I am the cheese cutting spy!”  I had to explain to him how that would not make for a very effective spy. We are all chuckling and coughing and chuckling some more.

Things are at once more funny and yet much less funny we you are suffering from cabin fever.

Hope you are all well!

Edit: My husband tells me I left out the funniest part.  My 6 year old said, “I am the cheese cutting spy! I cut the brie!”
