Be Mine

So excited to be getting ready for Friday's Valentine party

Looking good on one side

And on the other

Proud of all the hard work we put into a very special Valentine box

Princess on the Pillows

There's our girl reigning over her kingdom of pillows on our bed. It is her favorite place to burrow into when she's in bed with us. She just waits for either Brandon or me to get out of bed so she can pounce on our pillows and make herself comfortable. Sometimes she doesn't wait - she just tries to maneuver her way onto them without us noticing...I'm not going to lie - it's usually Brandon's pillows she tries to get on while he's still using them. She's polite enough to wait for me to get up before using mine. Of course, since she was so sick last summer, she pretty much gets her way on about everything, so we bestow on her the title of "Princess" of the pillows & just about everything else.

I Impress Myself

One thing that I do not usually lack is confidence...not sure why, but I'm pretty sure I'm always right & if you don't believe that, ask Brandon. I am probably fairly guilty of being a little arrogant at times, but I have to say that sometimes I even impress myself. Now, the joy of having a little boy is learning how to play with little boy toys like Hot Wheels and Legos and Transformers. I admit, I just don't have a great little boy imagination with those things, but something I can really get into is this set of building things called a "Zoobmobile" set that Luke got for Christmas. You can take these pieces and build really cool cars and trucks with them. Luke and I spent time building a few little cars with the pieces...nothing too difficult. And then the day came when I asked Luke which car he wanted to build that day & he pointed to the one that used every single part in the box - the 12-wheel flatbed. My confidence was shaken - it seemed too big, too complicated for someone of even my great abilities (see, I really do think a lot of myself). Well, needless to say, it took quite a bit of time, but we built that baby. Take a look at our masterpiece, which by the way, is now in pieces and back in the box because it didn't last.
