Well, it's been a while since I last posted - sorry about that! Things have been getting a little crazy in our house trying to prepare for the primary program, reupholstering chairs and breaking my laptop. :o( Here are some of the latest pictures of Bellah.

Bellah loves to put band aid on old owies and this is no different. Notice the careful precision as she places the "band-aid" on the problem area.

The dedication as she carefully maneuvers the... ummm.. noodle (yes, that's her dinner!) to cover the scar.

Almost there, just once more..... noodle....

TADAAAAA!! The spaghetti noddle band aid is complete! The scar will heal! Hallelujah!!! The operation was a success!!!!

So, I've grown tired of the old dinning room chairs that we have and the countless "accidents" Bellah has had on them. :o( I figured it's probably cheaper to reupholster them myself so I did a little research to figure out how hard it would be to do. (This was the first one - it's Bellah's chair.)

Thankfully, reupholstering isn't too hard or expensive. I decided to go with a nice dark blue to hide stains - then a thought from my childhood manifested itself - PLASTIC! My mother's a GENIUS! As a kid those chairs were kind of annoying, but as a mother who has to clean up after messy kids - it's PERFECT!!

So, not too bad! I am going to finish the last two tonight - I'm so excited!!! :o) And, Bellah has already broken them in! They work GREAT!!! Hopefully they'll last for a while! As you can see, Bellah thinks they are pretty cool. She kept trying to help me get the staples out and wanted to play with the nasty foam. :o( Yuck! Luckily I threw them out before she could get into too much trouble!

Life is going well - we only have 2 1/2 months left and we are SOOOO EXCITED! Luckily, we have a lot of activities going on in the next two months to keep us busy and hopefully help the time to fly! We'll keep you posted on the "after" party!

Love you!!!!
