Guests for dinner...


Another scene... at our dinner table.  A nest of birds... with the one lone heart bear.  I wonder what kind of deal he made with the birds to get that seat.  Do you think the birds are thinking "what's he doing here?".

The vulture in the front is one of E's prized stuffed animals.  She loves that little vulture.

HAPPY Wednesday - ole man winter


Snow and ice, snow and ice... I'm am a little tired of snow and ice. But I have enjoyed our 5 snow days!  But it's also good to get back into a routine and get outside in the sunshine!  During our iced-in time we were always looking around for something to do... pulled out the play dough bin and ALL our play dough was dried up!  So we made our own... so happy.



Scenes from around our winter house... scarves, boots, shoes, towels, gloves...


Play room in constant state of messy...


My happy desk... my book I'm reading right now... I've read through it before. Reading through it again... always a good one to go back to in training the mind to think on what's right and true... my paper calendar under my phone... I still need that visual! Lemon drops... you know all the usual study essentials.

Also happy to discover one of my college roommates has a great blog...  she is passionate about adoption and is one wise gal.  We spent many late nights talking together sitting in the floors of our rooms... simply trying to figure life out never dreaming in a million years that we'd one day be typing out information, ideas and thoughts in the form of a web log... Let me introduce you to my my dear sweet friend "T"... Delighting In Dirty Carpet.

HAPPY Wednesday - Snow Day

Day two of our iced-in weather... I love a good Snow Day... and now we've had two.  Maybe we'll have three... mixed feelings about that but I sure have gotten a lot done today.  Here's what's making me happy this Wednesday...

* Listening to my husband and son discuss Chronicles of Narnia...

* My daughter lost her first tooth!  (actually that makes me a little sad - but she is HAPPY!)

* Reading a new book series that I just can't put down... on book three.

* Making a roasted chicken that is so easy and smells so yummy... and healthy.

* Cleaning out our bedroom and day dreaming of paint colors... will check out all of these ideas.

* Love this Etsy shop for Bible Cover and matching bag... for little girl.

* I'm so doing this photo idea for Valentine's... lots of ideas at Eighteen25

* Found this blog to join others in what they're lovin' today...

Hello Snow Day - how I love 'ya

 The view outside my upstairs office window this morning...  the frozen tundra!  It's funny how we make plans for our week only to be halted by the Blizzard of 2011!  We North Texans can only take so much...

But from the view down the street it appears a few of my neighbors still ventured out!  Just look at the ice on the roads...  very brave souls they are!
But not my people... we're still in our PJs.  Making pancakes, watching movies, reading and checking where we are in our scrapbooks...  I love snow days.  I really do love them.

Now we're off to see what it's like outside... I guess we'll bundle up and get back in our PJs in a few minutes... it's SO cold!
