Remember what it was like getting mail when you were a kid? It made you feel so grown up and special didn't it? It's sad to think that our kids won't get to experience that as much as we might have because of these dang/wonderful computers. *Snail mail* is becoming obsolete.
Well, my friend Jill sent the girls some of her Best Dang Cookies In the World and they were so excited! Um, not just mail...but COOKIES! Can it GET any better than THIS?!?
They were SOOO good (the girls are obviously entranced by the kid trivia show they were watching) and WOW sooo HEAVY! They reminded me of those cookies that you get when you're in Disney World. They make you drool just looking at them, and then you pick them up and think, "Holy cripe...I'm going to gain THIS much weight...right now!" So worth it. Yuuuuum!
I have learned a lesson.
DON'T get that many photos printed next time.
Just. Don't.
I sure can streeeeeetch out a week can't I?
My days have been filled with cutting and punching (which I love) but I have once again overwhelmed myself. I'm going to do what I can, when I can...as soon as the printer feels like cooperating again. (insert crazy lady laugh here) It really is fun looking over the photos, at these little pieces of my everyday life. I ADORE this project. The project thus far has made me look at my days a little differently. The routine yes, but more importantly, the moments. Can't wait to really get on a roll putting it together. I'll get there. : )
We spent a fun afternoon with some out of town family today and had a really fun time watching all of the kiddos playing together. Mallory came to me at one point, looked up...and I saw it. Her beautiful, big brown and PINK eye.
Did I mention that ALL of the kiddos were playing together so nicely? I did?
Did I also mention that the out-of-towners had JUST arrived for their week long vacation?
I'm praying that the owner of this cute little foot didn't infect ALL of her cousins today. Ugh.
Mallory's headboard is missing because I was sanding it Saturday...and it's a doozie. Mal wants it to be green which is fine with me, but I'm having a heck of a time finding the right green. THE green. I'm thinking about doing a little mixing experiment to see if I can come up with it myself. I did see something close at Lowe's the other day (and trust me, it's not as bright as it looks) that I might go with (although I'm not nuts about how shiny it would be). The headboard has a few details that I'm not sure I'll be able to paint as well with a brush, so this option is looking better every time I think about it!
Saw this the other day and loved it!:
“To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.”
