big hopes for labor day -

i have had it on my calendar for over a month to find a babysitter and use this weekend to work as many hours possible to finish up for the KC show. What a bust. I couldn't find a sitter - not for an hour, so John bucked up and took kid duty for the weekend. BUT THEN - Ryan got sick. I could tell she wasn't feeling well on friday night, but i was hoping saturday would be a whole new day. i could send john and the kids off to the pool, the zoo - a costco run, to play at the studio and even visit relatives. Instead, saturday morning brought 103.6 fever.
we made a tent out of her bunkbed and john put a small TV in there so she could watch movies and relax. and I stayed with her and cleaned up the upstairs while she slept.

by sunday she was feeling better. we layed low and john got out some crafts for them to do. i thought these were cute.



On monday everyone was feeling better, but myself. i had a sore throat and feeling really worn out.
Good think Ryan was able to come down and help me pull some screens. It was her first time getting to pull it herself. she was very proud.


I did start some new work. I think i have about 30 new ones started and a week to complete them. Also 12 large pieces to finish that i am stalling on cause i am not sure what to do to them. Its tuesday now and i am OH SO SICK. stuffed up, chills, sore throat - the works. Its a busy week too. 2 soccer practices for mia, a game and practice for ryan on saturday, johns studio party friday night and the last week to WORK. ahhhhhh, no pressure.
