Waaal hullo there. It seems like our days have been a mish-mash of one thing after another, and I obviously haven’t posted in quite a while. I thought I would just put up some random things here from the past few weeks.

Tuesday after the Super Bowl (this is ancient news, I know) we kept the kids out of school and headed down to Denver for the Broncos Super Bowl celebration parade. There were about a million people there–a fifth of Colorado’s population and nearly twice the population of Denver–and it was a madhouse. We didn’t think there would be many other kids there, but–surprise! It was packed with kids and teens. Over 24,000 kids turned up absent from Denver public schools on Tuesday, and I’m pretty sure I know where most of them were, LOL.

We did a little quickie football art before heading to the parade.

Parking was almost impossible, but we finally found a spot (for $30) and threaded our way through the crowd to watch the parade.

That’s Peyton Manning in the vest in fire truck #18–fittingly, haha. Von Miller is the figurehead at the front brandishing the trophy.

Peyton Manning seemed fairly modest about the whole thing, but most of the guys didn’t. You could tell they loved all the glory, and were really eating up the praise. It was pretty funny.

I noticed some construction workers watching from the top of this building. See them in yellow?

And there was a lone person at the top of this building. I’m not exactly sure, but I don’t think I would like that view.

Crowd events are not my thing, but it ended up being a really fun day to spend together, and it was nice for the kids to have a break from school (along with 24,000 other kids!)

Just a few more things: I’ve been stocking my shop with some new boxes, including redwood ones, which I love.

I sold five boxes this month, which is actually more than I’ve ever sold in one month, and more than one of them was bought by a midwife. Cord-burning seems to be catching on!

This is an awful-quality pic because of the fluorescent lights in T.J. Maxx’s dressing-room, but it’s kind of a funny one of Cash. I took it to show David a sweater I liked (and bought)–the sweater was $12 and I got the distressed boyfriend jeans on a previous visit for $16. Gotta love T.J.

Finally, we woke up to snow yesterday. We’ve had an amazing February with some warm days and lots of sunshine. Lately I’ve been snowshoeing on more dirt than snow, LOL, but now I’m wallowing blissfully, sliding, and falling on my face every so often.

I’m kind of hoping March comes in like a lion, since for several reasons I would really like it to go out like a lamb. Right now, though, things are looking pretty soft and woolly. 🙂
