A little bit of This and A Lot of That

We've been busy lately, but not to busy to enjoy life with each other and family members. (By-the-way, we are never to busy to get together with our families...always worth the drive!)

I love that I don't have to work on Fridays! I get to play with the kids, stay in P.J.s for most of the day, cook, prep art examples for the coming week, and waste time looking at all the hidden treasures at ROSS (Grace absolutely loves that store, mostly because I let her rummage through the toys to make her own little discoveries...we never buy, but its fun to play with them while we're there.)

One new fun thing we do on Fridays is have tea parties! I make cookies, or small peanut butter sandwiches and hot apple cider or hot coco and we have all the makings for a grand tea party! Grace absolutely loves this! I do too!

 I found Grace's little tea set at Ross's (of course)

(sorry for the blurry pic)

 And I had to buy a tea set for me too, so I could host our little tea parties. (I can hardly believe I never had one, considering my mother owns a ton.)

 My little cuties, dressed up and ready for church! Sundays are so exciting at our house, the excitement of nursery is more than we can handle!

 We made a trip to Idaho on Martin Luther King  weekend. We went to Malta for a quick visit and had fun hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa Barrett's house for a few hours. Then up to Newdale to eat Sunday dinner with the simper family (well, a few of them anyway). Then on Monday we Drove to Pocatello and played in the snow with Debbi's family and Eva and Porter. The snow was so wet, we were falling in all over the place. I spent most of the time, in the car with Seth, but it was fun to watch the others get down and dirty in the snow. The highlight of the visit for me, was laughing around the kitchen table with my sisters for an hour or so after the snow play.

 Eva and Grace...they look so cold! But they had so much fun!

 Look at those rosey cheeks! 

 Seth! So Cute! Just hanging with me in the car...we stayed very warm!

 Another moment in the hall, they spend a lot of time there while I dress for the day. (okay, not A LOT of time, I can usually dress in 45 min or less...USUALLY.)

 Brag time. 

I made this little skirt, it was a Christmas present. Now, what I am most proud of, is that I didn't have a pattern! I just kind of went with an idea I had after seeing one like it on the babygap web site that cost 32 dollars! YA RIGHT! I made this skirt for less than FIVE!

So there you have it, A little bit of this and a lot of that! Such a random post, I know.
