How to Train a 3 year old

We took the kids to see How to Train a Dragon and they loved it!  Training Ava to be still in the theater?  Not bad at all!  This was her first time in a theater and she had a great time and was a very good girl.  Andrew really enjoyed the film as well.  Adam and I were just happy to be at the movies together!

 

My new cookie jar.  Isn't he delightful? 

  

I think this guy is a cousin of a cutie who resides in my friend Jeannie's kitchen.

 

I love this guy!

What the heck?

Can someone please tell me what this thing is? I just had to have it!

Here are some of my latest thrift store finds. I paid $2.00 for that fabulous waste basket (or is it an umbrella stand?) The napkin holder was .50 and the Vera silk scarf was...drum roll, please... $5.00! WOOHOO!

Happy February!

It's a new month full of new possibilities and new projects! There's a lot to celebrate in February from birthdays to anniversaries to Valentine's Day of course! I have quite a list of cards to make and I know our little visitor Cupid will be coming to see us soon! I'll need to make arrangements for his arrival and short stay.

The 9th of this month marks the 10th anniversary of when I "came to my senses" or "Orange Day" as I like to call it. Adam had been telling me since we met that he was the perfect guy and that one day I'd come to my senses. Well, he was right! I hope to have a little dinner party to celebrate, complete with an orange menu and decorations!

Latest Endeavors

I got the seal of approval from Andrew about this Valentine's Day treat box for his classmates. I have to make 9 white ones for the girls and 3 Star Trek for the boys in his class. It's fun! I'll fill them with various goodies and post pics as I get them prepared.

Merry Christmas!

I have a spare moment so I wanted to drop in and say Merry Christmas! It's a busy time of year, but try to take a few minutes to enjoy the beauty of the celebration!
