It's about time...

I finally changed out that holiday background on this blog...

Now all I've got to do is get the Christmas train set put away (the little boy loved it and I just couldn't put it away while he was still here!) and I need to finish stripping the lights off the little trees that were in the middle of the train platform (I figured it would be easier to put a new set of lights on than replace all the burned out bulbs - although I could be wrong LOL)... oh and yes those are still a couple of holiday-ish wreaths hanging around... and no my holiday dishes have not been put away... LOL

They all left a week ago Sunday... the day after the Tsunami didn't devastate Hawaii.  Whew!

I miss them... the songs, playing, hugs and snuggles.  I miss watching them - kids are so much fun to just watch.  I'll be glad when they live back on the mainland and we can see them more often.

In the mean time I am soooo far behind on quilting stuff I need to get done it just isn't funny! 

I got a Wii for Christmas... we used it a bit while they were here but I'm back to using it daily... ouch - just a tad out of shape.

And it's actually starting to warm up a bit... which reminds me that I need to plan out what I want to put in my garden.

And I can hear the paint cans in the basement calling my name - they were totally ignored last summer after I fell over the gate... if you can't raise your hand you can't paint. 

I'll be back... really!
