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.)

February 17, 2010 at 2:00 pmThat video was beyond precious, Sarah. He is simply darling. I especially enjoyed the intermittent coughing/sniffing/yawning while he sings!! I DIE.

February 17, 2010 at 8:16 pmI love when he sings, “Schnitzel with noonles”, and the cough, the yawn, and then he sucks his thumb! Adorable! And you look awesome! Where did you guys find the carpet on the floor of the treehouse? Really cool :o)

February 18, 2010 at 4:17 pmYou think the 2nd one gets the shaft? Wait until your third. Oh and you will have a third. Don’t know you but I’m sorry you’re all sick – because of missing out on the pizza. That’s just the saddest part.
We were obsessed, driven to madness, with The Sound of Music a few years ago. I believe after about 60 viewings, the tape broke and we had to spring for the DVD. Brigitta lives up the street from us and when the girls finally met her, they were so confused. She’s over 50! Love the video. I’ve got a few just like it.

February 20, 2010 at 9:22 pmThat is the cutest thing I have ever seen!! Maria Von Trapp would be so proud. Do you remember when we played “sound of music” while babysitting your cousins? We were re-enacting the dining room scene and your aunt came home and I dropped the silver, making a raucous and busting us for playing with the “good” silver?
