Chalkboard Vinyl



For Christmas, we gave AJ this chalkboard vinyl decal for her room. BEST GIFT EVAH! She loves it, and spend lots of time in her room "practicing her sentences". I love the delightful little artwork she creates when she thinks no one will see it. Like this:

Did you know...

...you can have happiness delivered right to your front door?

It comes in a box that looks like this:

It's wrapped in heart tissue paper:

My heart is pounding:

{{is it just me, or do you also hear a chorus of heavenly angels?}}

Back view - yum! {Plus, it draws attention away from the rest of my backside ;)}

Happiness, in fresh supply here.

Problem Child

AJ got in trouble at school today. She came home from school with a note from her gym teacher, Coach Barber. The note included - and I quote - "lack of self-control" and "excessive talking".

Try to enforce consequences after a sweet apology like that! Sometimes being a parent is hard.

Too Cute To Eat (almost)

Do you like those little Baybel cheeses? They are a favorite snack around our house, but I never thought to cut the wax into little hairstyles. I thought these were too cute!

Found here.

Craig - This does NOT mean I don't still want a Kindle for our anniversary. I love real books most, but I wouldn't mind a book I have to "charge-up". :)
