Just in case a few of you secretly thought that I didn’t live in the real world and pondered over the fact that I had breakable decorations and three crazy little boys….See the pedestal bowl above? Yes, that most excellent decorating essential. Do you remember the rule of three? Yes, I originally had three beautiful ornaments in that pedestal bowl. And apples are particularly festive with bites taken out of them. Absolutely. Thank you, Luke and Leif, respectively.
How about the table this arrangement sat upon? It seems to be on its last leg. Okay, on its last three legs, but for some reason it won’t stay upright with only three legs. I’ve added item #263 to Russ’s to-do list. Until then, we’ll eat on the floor. Whom shall I blame for that one? (Hanging head in shame.) What kind of mother lets her boys do this? Apparently tables don’t stand up (ha!) to that kind of abuse.
Do you see the beautiful silver bird below? It is now a very lonely bird, having very recently watched its mate fall to its demise. (Again, hanging head in shame.) What kind of mother lets her boys play with their new stomp rocket in doors?
So, for those wondering, yes, I do live in the real world. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Things are just things. My little people are beyond priceless.
