SPRING

Oh what a wonderful feeling...spring is in the air....the snow is melting and I can see my grass again (it's not pretty) but I'm okay with the snow being gone!!!

Pretty soon, we'll have to plant flowers, water them, open up the doors and open up the blinds because the sun will be our light...oh so happy Spring is near!!!!!

Because of that I started on some projects...repainted my shelf over the fireplace and got a new cover for the fireplace, pics coming soon.  I also want some new curtains and perhaps some new fabric for my pillows...I also want to change the fabric on my chair in the dining room....oh i love having new projects to do!!!!

Have fun redecorating for the Spring!!!

Storms

Here in NY we've had 8 storms - snow, rain, sleet, ice - you name it - it's happened.  We had 2 snow days and today was a 2 hour delay, they call you at 5:30 a.m., to let you know that school doesn't start til like 10:30, do you think I could fall back to sleep? exactly.

So the girls still got up at their usual times, because they had no idea there was a 2 hour delay.  It was nice, they had breakfast, watched a little t.v. and then got a little antsy waiting for the bus!!!  Oh gosh, they are saying storm #9 on Saturday.  Today the groundhog predicted that spring will come early. I hope he's right because with a storm every few days it almost seems that winter is here to stay longer than anticipated!!!!

Toodles!!!

Mandy's 6th Birthday

I haven't posted in a while. Here is Amanda opening her present on her birthday. She had waited patiently for this doll, her "Jenny" doll for about 6 weeks. This doll is a brand from Target, we saw it there in November and she fell in love and then requested it for her birthday. My mom bought it for her. It was hard to wait for her actual birthday to give it to her but her expression on her face was totally worth the wait. Amanda in her classroom celebrating with her classmates

At home with her sister and her cousins.
Check out that cake...I made it...and the cupcakes too!!!
Happy 6th Birthday Amanda

We all love you very much!!!!!

awww, what a sweet picture of her!!!
