Dinner at our house...

This was our little guest last night at dinner. My daughter set her up at the table with Bitty Baby's high chair on top of a dining chair. The playdoh was her baby food. They are so creative.

My daughter had a birthday party to go to yesterday for one of her friends. It was a pool party & the weather was perfect. She had fun & was pooped when she got home. She was there almost four hours. The little girl's mom said she could stay as long as we needed her too since my husband and I were having a date 'afternoon' since I am leaving tomorrow to meet my sister for a vacation (my mom is going with us too). This little girl's mom is so nice - she is also my daughter's Daisy scout leader and she is so great with the girls. Super creative too. I hope the girls continue to be friends for a long time since I like the mom so much. :)

Every January I wish my daughter had a summer birthday. It is so easy to plan a pool party. It keeps the kids occupied & you don't have to try to think up games and crafts. But so far I have done a pretty good job at making a fun day without swimming so I guess it's not so bad.

Well, I am off to tie up some loose ends before I hit the hay.

I have a summer birthday and I was alway sad that my mom could not bring in cupcakes on my birthday and my friends were always on vacation. I guess the grass is always greener. You know there is no reason that you couldn't just have a pool party anyway. Ben's bday is December and one summer he wanted a slip and slide party, so we had one. It was a blast. I think parties "just because" are fun and feel like less pressure for some reason. Anyway, you are lucky to be in sunny weather. Ben has a pool party on Saturday for baseball and it might hit 60. Yikes :0)

My Favorite Things....

Join Melissa @ 320 Sycamore for her My Favorite Things party. Here are my favorite things: David Cook. The CD. Still lovin' it. Listen to it a lot. It's good. Very good. Philosophy Lip Gloss. I have the melon daiquiri flavor and love it. It's shiny AND stays on. Tastes good, too. About $12. Electric Pepper Mill. How did I live without this? Really. You can find one like this at Crate & Barrel for about $40 or so. Peets Coffee . I talk about Starbucks a lot because we don't have a Peets here. It's really the best in my opinion. Luckily you can find it in the grocery store for about $14/lb -or less when it's on sale. You know that's when I buy it! :) Measuring cups. I have these from Williams-Sonoma. I love them. I think it's my favorite thing in my kitchen. At least one of them. And one I use almost daily. It took a while for me to break down and buy them but I have to admit that it's the best $30 I have ever spent. When Little Miss moves us

Changes...

I posted some photos of my living room a while back. I realized how blah and boring it looks. I appreciate the suggestions I was given. One of them was 'paint'. We had the walls painted a couple years ago so I really didn't want to do it again just yet so I had to figure what else I could do to get some color in there. I thought about painting a canvas red to match the chair ( below). After talking to my sister she suggested dipping cool whip containers in paint to make the circles and an idea was born. I bought the 3 canvases (20" X 20") at Michaels at 50% off - the three cost $21. I got a quart of paint at Lowe's ($12 - Martha Stewart's Cranberry something or the other). The blue paint was a sample size of Olympic that someone didn't buy -$1. Cool whip container and little round container I had in the kitchen - free. Fleur de lis printed off computer, traced on canvas and painted - free. So for $34 I got this new look. Very David Bro

Monday, Monday...

Monday's are usually my favorite days. Everyone is back to work and school and I have the morning to gather my thoughts and eat a leisurely breakfast before starting my day. My friend, E, who I carpool with has her husband take the kids to school since he is off on Mondays. Today, however, has been a bit odd. We had a new dishwasher delivered this morning and my husband uninstalled the old one last night. This morning I wake up to a leak in one of the dishwasher hoses - thankfully just a slow leak but still an inconvenience. My husband had to come home and semi-install the new dishwasher to stop the leak. I have been washing the dishes in the wet bar sink instead of the kitchen sink since something is turned off there and the hubby said not to use it until the new dishwasher is totally installed. I am thankful to have a wet bar sink and not have to resort to washing the dishes in the bathroom - something I am sure we've all had to do at one time. I have some things in t
