Like New!
So here is a picture from June 2009 when we recovered our kitchen chairs.
I just LOVED that fabric. The chairs were a beige micro-fibre which I found a little boring. So we snazzed them up with this funky upholstery fabric in a geometric pattern. Now imagine two years later.... I wish I had taken a picture for you. The fabric was so stained and discoloured... these chairs needed a makeover. But what to do about two messy little boys? I cannot take credit for the solution since I read it in a magazine, but I decided to cover whatever fabric we chose with clear vinyl so they would be easy to clean. Now choosing the fabric became a bit of a chore since I have painted our pew bright purple, but Jeff found this awesome matching fabric on a 5$/m clearance table of quilting cottons.
I LOVE my NEW chairs.

Birthday Pictures... As Promised!
So for at least a month leading up to Jacob's birthday he was asking for licorice. Specifically black licorice and he wanted to share it with Mommy, Daddy, and Daniel. So what does this Mama do? Why throw a licorice party, of course! With 12 people to sing to him and to share his licorice he had a great time. Also, I HATE black licorice so I picked up four different kinds of licorice for him, including black.
 |
| NIBS to decorate the cake... the top half was white cake and the bottom half was chocolate. |
 |
| Jacob clapping after we sang "Happy Birthday" |
 |
| Daddy helping blow out the candles. |
 |
| Black Licorice PLEASE! |
 |
| Black, Rainbow, & Red.... the rainbow were gross but the kids liked them. |
 |
| Happy Third Birthday Bean! |
 |
| And... Daniel eating cake. He also likes black licorice. |

Sad Recipe - a poem
I didn't have potatoes
So I substituted rice.
I didn't have paprika
So I used another spice.
I didn't have tomato sauce
I used tomato paste,
A whole can, not a half can
I don't believe in waste.
A friend gave me this recipe
She said you couldn't beat it,
There must be something wrong with her...
I couldn't even eat it.
