Last Candle Standing, As Mum Bites The Dust
I guess it was inevitable. Michaela and I have succumbed to the dreaded virus.
This weekend was full of family related birthday activities for Amelia’s birthday (Going out to a Chinese lunch being one of them), which I managed to make it through, but completely crashed on Sunday. Here is a shot of Amelia with her candles, wearing the scarf I secretly made her about a month ago.

The cake is a pretty run of the mill (but yummy) chocolate cake. Amelia has put in an order for a castle for next weekend’s birthday party with her friends. At this stage I am not sure if I am up for it.
Mickey Moo and I were packed off to bed on Sunday afternoon, and apart from sleeping for a couple of hours, I also made a little start on this.

One silver lining, from Rory’s horrible ear infection (a secondary infection from the virus I now have) is the little bottle from his medicine. The glass bottle with the childproof lid was perfect to keep tiny buttons in, that I purchased for this project. Now a certain little person can look safely.
Tonight I am going to stagger off to a Preschool Committee meeting, to present 4 alternatives to the current (appalling) logo. I will give you all a peek when I am well enough to think straight again. I will leave you with a look at the last candle standing, I am quite pleased with the photo.

keep warm, wear socks to bed
I hope you (and Amelia) feel better soon.
I’m interested to see the logos you’ve prepared. I hope the meeting was quick and painless (I know how school events can drag on!).
