surviving cabin fever

two snow days off school in a row calls for drastic measures to insure the sanity of a little man and a mama. 

around here it's spending the day in my bed.

max and i have match-gamed and sponge bob-ed and book-read and video gamed (lego harry potter whaaa!!) there most of the afternoon.

there is something magical and replenishing about a mama's bed.

and here's a sweet story.

i ran across and fell in love with a illustration i found on several blogs. it was a phone wallpaper made for the to resolve project. i emailed the designer, rich, to see if it was available in a print for max's room.

he wrote me back that he hadn't planned on making prints but would gladly send me a high res file of the illustration to print myself. he even added crop marks and all.

i love love love the concept behind this design. 

and now i love love love rich arnold for his graciousness.

what a swell guy!

happy groundhog day, friends!
