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!))

I am a homebody and much prefer staying in and staying cozy with a book and a cuddly (almost) 7 year old... looking at picture books together.
