This is the winter of my discontent.  My kids have never been as sick as they’ve been this season.  We’re still listening to the hollow sounds of post-flu coughing and now Lila has a stomach virus.  I’m praying that it doesn’t travel through the whole house.

Feeling frustrated at the household health status, I took Tate out to the playhouse and decided it needed some further embellishing.  The monogram and doorbell are so cute and personalizing it a bit more seemed like a great idea.

I used my Silhouette and some black vinyl to cut “bless this house” and added it to the interior.  Luke gave it a high approval rating.

While I was embellishing, Luke and Tate were peeking through the windows and laughing with each other.  I had to take a few photos of all the cuteness.

Smiling kids, warm sunshine, and a little sanity crafting definitely brightened the morning.

I’ve started truncating my posts … please pop over to my blog to read the rest!
