Leo did a great job of helping me mop one day this week. He can also give Henry his 5pm bottle, which really helps while I'm trying to get dinner made.

On Sick Leave
After a great weekend in Lubbock at Gran and Grandpa's, I started feeling really sick on the drive home last Monday. The whole six hour ride was very traumatic, and we all might have to have counseling. Mostly Todd for listening to me moan for six hours. And the car needs to be detailed. So the stomach bug started with me and then moved on to Leo early Wednesday morning. We are on the mend, and I will get some Lubbock pictures posted soon.

Bentos in the paper
My friend Shannon Carino introduced me to the idea of making lunches in Bento Boxes...and being a faithful newspaper reader, this really looked like a story that would run in the Taste section of the Dallas Morning News. So...I emailed them...and they thought it was a great idea.
The story is in today's paper. Since Leo has had more than his 15 minutes of fame between his birth article and the seeMOMMYrun news story - plus Shannon is much more into it than I am - I suggested that the photo be of Shannon's kids and Bentos. And, apparently I moved to Frisco. ;)

Chair Changes!
What an exciting life I lead! Blogging about chairs. I finally got around to recovering our nasty kitchen chairs. Here is a before...
And here is an after! We have two of each fabric. PLUS they are each covered with clear vinyl. So...spill things on them, wipe your grimy hands on them after you eat spaghetti-o's, grind your playdoh into them...NO WORRIES!!
Next, I have finally had enough of my hate/hate relationship with this awful monstrosity. It is a b*tch to clean - and that is a nice way to say it. So I kicked it to the curb! I'm so glad to be rid of it. I had taken the upholstery off long ago, but it still had nooks and crannies that I could never get all the crumbs and chunks out of. YUCKY!!!
And...now for the replacement! I think I am in love. It is just solid molded plastic...very easy to wipe down...it weighs next to nothing...and it disassembles in seconds to fit in the trunk. There was a tray for $5 more, but I thought...why don't I just wipe up his mess on THE TABLE when I wipe up Leo's mess on THE TABLE?!? It is the best $20 I have spent in a long time.
