This is my #2 son. We've decided to rename him Spot. He is feeling much better this morning and his fever is very low. He's already had a special bath and dressed in another pair of pajamas.
He is trying out his newly organized room with his army men buddies.
I am posting some extra pictures of my great room after I put all the Christmas decorations away and displayed one of my Christmas presents on the buffet. (A new radio with 3 CD changer. This will make reading in those two chairs so much more pleasant, and soothing with relaxing music going softly in the background.
)
The new, spring, looking place mats I found at Wal Mart on Monday.
((And... April Jo, even with pretty stuff on the table, my guy still sets his 'stuff' there...arrgghh!))

Chicken pox!!!! Oh, I hope he gets over them quickly.. they can be so miserable. Two Christmas' ago all three of my kids had them at the same time~ but I guess everyone says it's good to get them behind them when they're young. I have a friend who didn't get them until she was almost 18 and she was so sick.. and still has some pretty bad scaring! :/The calzones sound yummy.. and remind me, I think it's lunch time round here! :)Love your decor~ such a pretty, cozy looking home.blessings~ amber.
ReplyDeleteYou so inspire me to get busy and get the rest of my Christmas stuff down!!! Hope little guy gets better soon!
ReplyDelete#1 son just saw the pic's of his buddy and wanted to know what was on him. I said it was the chicken pox and he was asking what the chicken "pops" were. Glad he's feeling a little better.The calzone looks so good. I'll definitely have to try it. I like your new placemats. I think we're taking our stuff down on Saturday. We're the only tacky family left on the block with Christmas dec. still up.
