While I making lunch today, Aaron said something so mean.
Aaron - mom, I wish I had another mom.
I did not know what to say. He has been sick for 5 days with Scarlet Fever, and I have been busy taking care of his every need. Why was he being so hostile and ungrateful?
Then he finished his thought.
Aaron - if I had another mom, we could make her fold all the laundry so you could play with me all day long.
Heart melted. Love him.

No School
It is currently raining cats and dogs. It is sort of cool to watch and listen to, but I wouldn't want to go out in it. I opened the front door so the kids could get a look at it this morning and Peter and I had the following conversation:
Peter - yay, no school today!
Me - what are you talking about? You still have school.
Peter - but there is bad weather.
Me - it is just rain, school is still open.
Peter - no fair! It rained so many times this year and I got to stay home. Why do I have to go today?
I want to send this post to the people who work at Fairfax County schools and have called off school several times this year with the threat of a snow storm that turned into rain. They are confusing my child.

Pin-spired - Interchangeable Art Frames
Have I mentioned I love Pinterest? All of my walls are now decorated with some idea I have found to organize my life, display pictures or in this case, show off my kids' artwork.
Here is the photo I "pinned" - focus on the three frames in the upper right --->
Empty frames with clothes pins hot glued to the top, then spray painted a fun color. Super easy (not to mention cute) interchangeable art frames!
I used a few frames I already had and wasn't using, and some other cheap ones from the Dollar Tree, thrift stores and Michaels. All frames were 8"x10" or bigger. I tried to position some horizontal and some vertical of each size to accommodate all different art sizes, and I used three colors of spray paint (red, purple and green).
Here is our new art gallery:
