Artwork.

Each day Max is at school, he comes home with some kind of artwork.  I love it.  I love hearing about how he has 'issues' with texture.  I love seeing the pieces.  I told myself I would keep them all, however the pile of artwork is getting to be rather large. 

I saw on some blog somewhere - cause you know you read one blog - jump to another from that blog - then jump to another - and so on - to use the artwork for card making.  What a brilliant idea!

All you have to do is pick up one of those blank card/envelope sets at any craft store and paste a piece of artwork to the front and Voila! Happy Birthday! or Congrats! or Just Because!

Cupcakes arent always for special occasions.

Picked up these cupcake holders/bakers at the Wilton tent sale thinking I would use them for a birthday or something.  Well 'something' happened to be today, Sunday, July 10th. 

And wouldn't you know, he ate the whole thing!  I swore he was going to have a stomach ache.  This was a good 'mommy' moment for me.

Some more water.

Max really enjoyed this splash pad at the park.

Bane of my existence.

This here, seen above, is the bane of my existence this week. 

 I feel bad for Max, for having to deal with such changes and pressure and icky-ness and sleeplessness. 

 I feel helpless because I can give him temporary relief, I cannot take it away.    

 I want for the tooth to cut already. 

 I want for atleast one night over the next five to be restful, to a point where we both wake and feel refreshed.

 This holiday weekend will be spent doing the following :
-SLEEPING, especially when Max’s sleeps.

What’s is the bane of your existence?  How do you cope?
