Things were pretty uneventful around here today. Although I was able to cross two rooms off of my cleaning list, so that felt good. Somehow I don't actually feel like the house seems cleaner though, but Nick says it does so I must be on the right track. This weekend my college roommate and her husband and baby are coming to town so I have to get everything done before then. At least I have a solid deadline to keep me on track! Not to mention that I am super excited to see them all - Ella and Molly will be great playmates this weekend!

I also spent some time getting things ready and organized for Ella's first day of day care. :( I am headed back to work on Tuesday and I have very mixed emotions about it! I know they will take good care of her and I am looking forward to seeing my work friends but it is going to be a hard transition. Anyway, I had ordered some
name bubbles since EVERYTHING that goes to day care has to be labeled. They came yesterday so I had fun sticking them on things today. Hopefully they really do hold up through the washing machine and dishwasher.

In other news this weekend I re-covered our office chair. It needed it SO BAD, Zoe apparently loved the fabric that it came with and completely clawed it up. She doesn't claw on other furniture, but I guess she really loved the texture of this. For probably close to 3 years I just had fabric draped over it and it looked like a mess all the time. I had been mentally planning how I would sew a slipcover for quite awhile but finally decided that I was going to do it. I got the fabric half off so it only cost me $15.
I couldn't believe how well it turned out! I love it so much. All I did was carefully pin the pieces together on the chair and did some very steady sewing right on the line that I pinned. Such a difference - had I known it was going to turn out so well and be so easy I would have tried this a long time ago! Lesson learned.
