Where oh where did this B-I-G boy come from???

Cute Children's Books!

Dr. Calvin Miller was the guest speaker at our church on Sunday and he was SO funny. He selected to interpret a few of his Children's poem from the pulpit and had everyone laughing! After the service, we were able to purchase them and have them signed. The reason I love them is because, it takes stories from the Bible and puts them in easy to understand fun poems that rhyme (think Dr. Seuss)! Another reason I love them is because I can remember my children's choir director, Debbie Rice, reading excepts from them when I was a little girl. I can't wait to continue the tradition with Luke!

Who said guys don't cook?

What is old is new again! Especially at Mimi's house. Some of you know that Mimi hardly ever throws anything out and in this case we are glad she didn't. Her attic is FULL of our old toys. We dusted this gem off, gave it a good cleaning, and it is as good as new. This was Aunt Liz's old kitchen and it brings back such fun memories. Mimi even had all of the accessories that goes with it!


Luke LOVES to "cook" all kinds of things on it, but he especially likes to make eggs, waffles, coffee for Mimi, and hot dogs.


He even takes special orders! Here he is putting whip cream on my waffle!


He also takes "to go" orders over the phone! This "old" toy has already been a source of hours of entertainment!

Happy Fat Tuesday!

Happy Fat Tuesday! Mardi Gras is over for another year and we celebrated by staying in our PJ's half of the day and watched the parades on TV. Mommy made it extra special by making a funny face on my pancakes this morning.

Music Man

I am taking after my Daddy because I LOVE music. My favorite thing to do lately is to "sing" into the mic while daddy is playing.

The snow storm that wasn't.....

After all the hype, this "winter storm" was a bust. We were projected to get 2-4 inches of snow, but what we ended up with was a VERY light dusting. We were actually excited about the snow especially since it hasn't snowed in Mobile in over 14 years! It started snowing at around 10:20 and within in the hour, it had pretty much stopped. The snow was beautiful while it lasted. The snowflakes were huge!


This was about the extent of accumulation in Mimi's back yard and by noon, it had all melted away. :(




I didn't even get to make snow angels! :( I guess I will have to wait for the summer and make sand angels instead :)

Easy Breezy Valentine

Step 1: Cut out 2.5 inch hearts on Cricut machine.


Step 2: Fold hearts in half.


Step 3: Punch small hole in the tail of the heart.


Step 4: Arrange 4 of the hearts into a "flower."


Step 5: Feed a Dum Dum sucker through the hole in the flowers. (Why Dum Dum suckers? Because they are Luke's favorite candy and we pretty much buy them in bulk.) The cool thing about this step and this project in general is that there was NO glueing of any kind involved. Love that!


Step 6: Voila! A cute little Valentine flower for each of Luke's class mates. AND I already had all of the supplies, so this project was easy on the budget, too! ( Oh, and I take no credit for thinking this fun project up. I found this idea on Martha Stewart's web site.)
