it has been CRAZY busy.
THE SHOP opened last friday… boom.
saturday and sunday my boys played in 9 different ball games…i watched 5 of those.
monday i ran 7 miles in snow and ice…and worked on shipping all afternoon with the help of a great friend.
tuesday i shipped for another 5 hours and then drove to the KC airport and picked up PAM!!!
oh i was so happy to hug that girl! she was dearly missed.
wednesday i packed & shipped ALL DAY then cleaned the craft house for several hours with the help of 2 friends.
thursday i finished cleaning at the craft house (with kimberlee) for an event that was in the evening.
i was so happy to just be at home with my kids for the evening!
talby talked to me non stop all afternoon. i missed that this week.
then i went to bed at 10:30!
that only happens when i have the flu or something.
but i obviously needed the sleep.
and today all my kids were home from school.
it's been quite a day.
nothing i thought we would do got done.
oh well.
🙂
these pictures were from last night.
it ended up being just these two home last night.
they were almost silly about it… they were LOVING it so much.
we ate dinner outside (gorgeous weather) and those two were chatter boxes!
after the sun went down they chose a movie to watch that annie wouldn't be able to watch because they are big kids. :) sneaky siblings.
I am so happy that sean and talby still like each other so much. they are only 16 months apart!
(that was a crazy year in my life….OY!!!)
ok…KU game is on.
i am going to watch the end now.
because… bill self and i are besties now ya know….
AND… i refilled ALL THE PRINTS IN MY SHOP.
so if you wanted one last week and they were sold out… they are back!
AND… there are BIG 11×14 prints of most of them… even the whatever verse!
(you click on the size of the pic and options show up)
ANNNND there are more maps in there too.
almost all my orders have shipped.
i am getting very close.
thanks for EVERY order, all your patience and for all my helpers!
Teresa - I Want that shirt about Jesus playing in Lawrence. Is it available for the general public to buy?
Pat Schmidt - I miss your beautiful photos taken with your real camera. Sorry, phone cameras are not the same.
charlton - Just bought the whatever print and am so excited! Thanks for restocking so quickly. I can’t wait to put it in my girls’ room when I redecorate this summer.
tasha - oh girl! i am still heartbroken over the loss. i was in a texas buffalo wild wings on spring break trying to catch the game. i was the only ku fan in the packed restaurant. it wasn’t pretty. i’ve come to the conclusion that it’s only fair for them to share and not get too greedy. 🙂
Jemm - Are those your new chickens?! I’ll be happy to answer any questions…but I am no expert. I wish I could look at your blog more than I get to. For some reason typepad blogs just don’t load we’ll with our Internet. We have a very slow satellite Internet. Anyway, it was great to meet you. I hope I wasn’t too stalker-ish 😉
Tiffany - Love your posts. Always. Keep on truck’en busy lady. Always happy to hear from you and hear about what is going on in your world. So happy for you that you got to spend time with Pam, your business is doing so well, your kids enjoy hanging out together, and the weather is nice enough to eat outside and wear shorts!! HAPPY EASTER! 🙂
megan - got my map prints this weekend! love them…thanks so much for them!
ME & VA will be adorning my walls soon!
megan
Jenny B. - I’m so looking forward to my happy mail!! 🙂 Thanks for all your hard work, Meg!
happygirl - I was pretty bummed about Kansas, too. But I’ve got Louisville to take it all. Right now, suffering watching Witchita killing Ohio State. They are AMAZING!
Sarah@ This Farm Family's Life - Seriously jealous that your kids are in shorts!!! Hurry up summer!!
Janelle - I thought about Scott last night while watching the game 🙁 So funny how I was thinking about the feelings of a teenage boy I don’t even know. Hope he gets over it soon!
Kristin S - I love that you had time at home with JUST your “middles”.
Jeannine - Oh Meg, I need some advice lol.
I’m currently pregnant with my second, so this little one and my daughter will be 16 months apart. Any tips for having 2 babies this close together? Your kids seem great 🙂 I’m beyond excited but scared out of my mind!
Roganne - Gracious you are busy! When do you sleep?! Just bought the vintage Norway/Sweden map from your shop in honor of my family’s Viking heritage! Super-pumped to get it! Thank you!
betsy - So, SO, SoOoOoO sad about our Jayhawks 🙁
Does this mean we all just get to cheer on the Shockers? I think so (but I’m still sad).
Here’s to hoping this gorgeous weather sticks around for good!
Beth Anne - I have a feeling you’re in a not so happy household tonight! I didn’t watch the game, but I am so bummed about KU.
Heidi DeGroot - First, I am SO jealous that all that snow you had is already gone! It was 60 degrees in Marshall, MN today, and our snow piles are getting smaller, but definitely not gone. Second, I would really love to have a rainbow hoodie for my 6 year old daughter and hope they are replenished soon! Thanks:)
Meg Duerksen - I KNOW!!! scott got so mad he stormed out of the house and slammed the door!
CRAZY.
oh well…. we will all be ok right? 🙂
Jessica - Omg. I posted too soon. My bracket is a mess now!
Seriously Sassy Mama - I wish I had a barn to play basketball in.
BriBedell - So happy you refilled the prints!! Just ordered the close up gum all for my girls room in my new house!!! Thanks Meg <3
Jessica - Sad to see Michigan lose because they are my husband’s fave, but I picked Kansas to win the whole shebang baby!
C - thanks do much for keeping it real! you keep me sane. as much as you do, you keep things in perspective and i love when you show pictures of the laundry or dishes that need to be done. you inspire me to be my best, not to be superwoman! thank you.
