Happy St. Patty's Day!

My Future's So Bright...

Second Hand Blessings

Carina when she's allowed to wear the new hand-me-down 3T coat that is obviously too big for her.And Carina when she's asked to take off said coat, haha.

This girl LOVES to play dress up and has an unhealthy obsession for snow suits. All kidding aside, we have been blessed beyond belief with scores of hand-me-downs for Carina. I went through the two huge boxes in her closet this weekend to see what would fit this summer and if there were any gaps we need to fill. The answer: she has more (and cuter!) clothes than both her Mom and Dad. All that's missing is a pair of sandals :)

Thankful Thursday?

I am thankful for:

-Warm sunshine
-An extra 2.5 hours with my hubby this morning
-Clean dishes and a functioning dishwasher
-Food to eat and the chance to get the chicken cooked this morning so putting a pot pie together tonight will be easy peasy.
-Coffee
-A house full of healthy humans and felines
-Pink bubble baths
-The most presious little girl, the time I get to spend with her and the fact that I am blessed enough to be her Mommy :)

Doodle Bug

Carina's latest passion is coloring. She LOVES her crayons and gets excited whenever anyone on TV (specifically Elmo) has crayons too. Right now she uses both hands although the right may be slightly dominant. She likes to lay on her belly with her sketch pad and just go at it. Unfortunately she uses her chest and belly to help her situate the crayon better in her hand (instead of just using her other hand which would be too tidy and make too much sense) so her onesies have plenty of color on them too. I went on an expedition with a magic eraser yesterday to clean crayon off our walls but she's actually pretty good about sticking to her paper. She just loves to carry those crayons around with her everywhere and accidents happen when you're climbing the stairs with crayons in your hands, haha.

A Visit to Grammie

A week and a half ago Carina and I took off after Sunday school to visit my Gram (Grammie as Carina calls her) and to celebrate my Dad's birthday. Peter was drumming for church worship so he couldn't come (and was supposed to stay home to rest and get over his cold anyway). Carina had so much fun and it was a great visit (aside from getting my first and last speeding ticket, boo). I made Mom ride home with me to keep me honest. She's practically a human speedometer. Love you Mom!
