The Quilter's Adventures: HELP!!! Anyone!?!

~Kids...They're so Silly~

Chase was playing dress-up and came to the top of the stairs and said, "Look! I'm Jesus! ~pause~ Wait! Jesus has to go potty!!!!" And off he ran!

Brielle asks if she can have some medicine. When I ask her why she says, "Because I have ISSUES!" (I think she was referring to her runny nose and that she needed to use tissues!?!)

Brielle asks, "Mom, Where are we going?" I respond, "Crazy".
Brie says, "Where's Crazy?" I say, "Anywhere we are at the moment." She says after a long pause, "Will my friends be at Crazy too?" I say, "No Brielle, Crazy isn't a place, it's a state of mind." "Oooohhhh!" she says, while giggling.

A rainstorm was brewing outside and Brielle said, "Mom! I SEE thunder!!!"

When pulling into the gas station, Avery asks, "What are we doing? The gas light isn't on!" I respond, "Believe it or not, we CAN get gas when the gas light's NOT on!"

When asked to shut the back door, Chasen responded, "I can't! I'm NOT big!"

Avery asks me, "Mom, where does the water come from?"
Brielle answers, "From the faucet!!!"

Wanting to go outside on a cold day, I said to Brielle, "It's chilly out there!" She says, "Mmmm, I like chili!"

Chasen REALLY wants to be like his daddy! He decided to "cook" one morning and made himself a Saltine and Syrup sandwich... He grabbed 2 saltine crackers, poured some syrup on one, placed the other on top and took a BIG bite!!!

HELP!!! Anyone!?! - Update...

Okay, since I know that some of you, narotic yet lovable, friends of mine have been losing sleep over my wall...it's fixed! Yeah!!! Steve took the can of paint back and it turns out that it was just a really bad can of paint. So they remixed, with the same ratio, another can and it came out perfect!!! I couldn't wait until the kids were in bed to fix my wall. Now because the color was so off, and so much darker, I had to paint a couple of thick coats, but at least I didn't need to prime it! So all you sleepy girls, you can sleep easy tonight knowing that I can cross that off my list of things to do! (You know who you are! ;)

And here's the proof...

Anyone who has been to my home in the last 2 years, has seen my big, empty wall with a vinyl that says, "Eternally Ours". Well, to explain, I got this vinyl with plans of putting pictures of my 3 kids underneath. I found out I was expecting Daxton shortly after I put the sign up. :( So it's just stayed empty until this week. I'm pleased to announce that I no longer have such an empty wall anymore!!!

What do you think?

So the family picture is a 16x20 and each of the kids are 8x10's. We definently fill the wall now! I'm thinking of adding each child's name underneath. I don't know, it still feels a little undone. Any suggestions?

Johnson Family said...: I think it is a darling idea, and it looks beautiful. I am SO not good at this stuff, so I will leave it up to you what else you do to the wall, but i am sure it will be great. :) Merry Christmas!; December 20, 2008 at 11:17 AM
