Fluttering Around!

I think that you could say that Woody and I have been fluttering around today much like this butterfly. This butterfly is a bit tattered (sometimes the way I feel!) Woody went to the library and then picked up some graduation presents that we had ordered last week. Then he came home and wrapped the gifts. He delivered one of them this morning. He just left a few minutes ago with several more in hand...hoping to deliver them and then go to the prayer room at church. I continued to work on the house today. I do have the fabric all back in the proper bins and stored away. Abigail and Esther came over after lunch with the mindset to help me clean. They put toys back in the toy closet and then came upstairs to straighten up the dolls' tea party and then went into the school room and cleaned up the scraps of paper that had gotten left after an art project. They were great helpers! When they left, I sent Abigail home with one of Joy's dresses that needed buttons sewn on. Abigail learned how to sew buttons on with the sewing machine at her last sewing lesson so she is going to attempt to do these all by herself. She may become the official button sewer for our two households! Graham and Joy came over a little after Abigail and Esther went home. They continued to straighten up the K'nex area in the living room. Elijah also came over with them...he took out several of the toys that Abigail and Esther had picked up! Graham ended up last man standing of the children and he and I ended up getting a cross stitch project together for him. He headed off with the project in hand to work on while he waited at gymnastics for the girls to have their turn tumbling. I did a bit of vacuuming before putting back some of the fabric tubs (since they don't get moved very often). Then I headed down and made our supper. So it has been a day of fluttering from one project/job to another...but looking around...the house is definitely starting to look better! Now, to go watch the finals for Dancing With the Stars!
