Random Happenings

First off, on Sunday, Lexie and Sharrid came over to hang out. They brought Levi an early (a month and a half early!) birthday present. They got him some cute little Converse shoes and little black invisible socks to go with them. Mr. Levi has some big feet, so we will have to exchange them for a 5. Thanks, guys! They are so cute! (Sorry for the horrible pictures.)
Next, Monday was Jonah's first day of school! He goes in the afternoon now, which is when he usually takes a nap, so he might be cutting nap time out from now on. But yesterday I tried to get him to nap before school, and he did, so we'll see how that one goes. All in all, he had a great first and second day. His teacher seems really awesome and is great at keeping communication open with me. We use a notebook to write back and forth to each other. I am so happy that he has a good teacher and that he likes her. (I had an iffy experience with last year's teacher.) Every day he is excited about school and asks if he is going.

He has new bus drivers too and they seem really nice. He leaves at 12:15 in the afternoon and gets back at 3:25. So far, the bus has been really late at dropping him off and has arrived here at 4:10! The bus driver is so sweet- she always feels so bad, but they are trying to get the swing of things with the new routes. It has all been fine.

I have been painting a little more, although I took a break yesterday because I was just too tired! I have been staying up until at least 1 am every night, usually painting, then reading Eclipse for a while. I think it finally was catching up to me. I felt pretty worn down yesterday.

This is what it looks like in more natural light. I still have one or two more coats of blue to do, so that might end up being a little darker.
And in other exciting news, I took a picture of my breakfast the other day because it just looked so pretty and tasty!

That bowl of fruit looks just like all of the food links I have looking at today! Yummy. I'm trying to update and add to my recipes folder. You know me....

I love the shoes.
I LOVE the paint color scheme.
And you are too healthy with your breakfast. I need to be more like that. It is super pretty (and yummy, I'm sure)

I know when I had chicken pox as a kid it helped to go to the beach and swim in the salt water. So a salt water bath might help clear them up, but if it's just a mild case I wouldn't worry too much about it.

the room looks great Connie. i could never live off of just a bowl of fruit for breakfast, esp. with breastfeeding and working out! And I'm happy for Jonah, that he is doing well.
