1. The Whoorl household is illin’ this week. All three of us are drowning in Trader Joe’s tissues, although Wito seems to prefer using his sleeve/toys/sofa arm/remote control/pillow as a snot receptacle.
2. The fact that we all fell ill during Wito’s week off from preschool makes me want to cry, considering I was truly looking forward to the playdates we had scheduled for the week. For instance, tomorrow’s playdate will be held at my friend’s pizza parlor. Good friends, fun kids and ALL YOU CAN EAT FREE PIZZA. Do you realize how wonderful that 2-3 hours would have been for this here pregnant lady? DO YOU?
3. Speaking of being pregnant, I am 21 weeks as of last weekend. Halfway there, my friends, and about 2 photos to show for it. (The second one sure gets the shaft, don’t they?) Here I am this morning in my (rapidly becoming too snug) Andrew Bird tee.
Interesting how I choose to take a photo of myself on the day that I feel like death. Revel in my natural beauty, folks! REVEL.
4. Many updates are currently going on at the house, and I promise to post some photos in the near future. It’s just that I’m more of a Before/After Photo kind of girl, opposed to a Check Out The Progress We Are Making Today gal. Although, there may or may not be a lovely man named Carlos painting our downstairs powder room navy as I type this.
5. Hell. While I’m randomly busting out my iPhone camera, here’s a shot of my favorite room in the house. Our upstairs loft, aptly named The Treehouse. I could sit here all day.
6. Finally, prepare for utter sweetness. We are big fans of The Sound of Music over here, and my nighttime duties usually consist of a four-song medley of sorts for Wito after D reads his bedtime story. (“Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” “Edelweiss,” “Doe Re Mi” and “My Favorite Things,” in case the suspense is absolutely killing you…)
Yesterday afternoon, Wito was feeling pretty crummy so he decided he wanted to sing “My Favorite Things” in hopes of feeling better. I think it may have helped a tiny bit. (Or maybe it was the ice cream.)

Yes, they open! It’s like being outdoors. Love it. :)

February 17, 2010 at 8:20 amI’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything as adorable as that. Seriously. That was the most precious little singing I’ve ever watched.

February 17, 2010 at 8:59 amOkay, I really don’t like kids. And kids that are sick and snotty – Ew! But damn girl your son is totally adorable. Absolutely melted me…Even made me want a child – for a moment.

February 17, 2010 at 9:59 amThat was just the most absurdly cute thing I’ve seen. It has muddled all previous memory of “adorable.” And to think there is another one coming who will know every word to the Sound of Music songbook. When you start taking requests, “A Spoonful of Sugar,” please.

February 17, 2010 at 10:18 amSo cute. And your new house looks amazing. Love that loft. So I too, LOVE the Sound of Music. My all time favorite movie. My husband surprised me with a drip to Salzburg and proposed to me in the gazebo from the movie. It was amazing and freaky and so romantic. I love to hear about other people who appreciate the movie. And I have to say Salzburg is one of the most charming little cities.
