On this snowy northern MN day, I thought I would post a happy looking picture, that makes me think of Spring!! We probably have a new accumulation of about 12 inches of new fluff and the kiddo's got a Snow Day and are over the top excited, because that hardly ever happens.
I have had some busy, busy days since my post in January (I think I was to begin my stay with the older littles for the week). That time was fabulously fun, and then my sister from Ohio came for a wonderful visit for two weeks. We had so much fun - project work on the MDS, lunches out, and a
Downton Abbey marathon. This was a PBS series that is in it's 3rd season and we hadn't come upon it until just now. So, we watched what we missed and fell in love with the show and it's characters!
We made our normal journey to the General Store, Bachman's ~ spent an afternoon at Como Park Conservatory (she was so kind to allow me to do some things I love to do and don't get the chance to do) followed by a visit to The Bibelot shop and lunch at Muffaletta's (a restaurant I have wanted to go to for YEARS). Of course, we also found a Starbucks whenever the oportunity would present itself, and sometimes even when it didn't!! LOL I miss her!!!
As things usually go, the next week after Cindy left, my long awaited living room furniture arrived!!
YAY it is beautiful and I am over the top excited about it. I had a guy come and hang the pictures shortly afterwards so all is well and in place. The next project for that room is to get some kind of window treatment in there, so the fabric on the new chairs won't get too much sun and fade.
I am not sure what all the first few weeks of Febr entailed, but they were busy days and before I knew it, it was time to take care of the littlest littles, while their parents were off to Mexico. I had a great time with those little guys, and have forgotten how they busily fill they days. They are 4 and 2 and have great energy. We had a great Treasure Hunt outside in the snow, played trains (Aunt Amy brought a basket of train tracks and little Thomas engines and trains), put legos together and played all sorts of fun games that only little boys imaginations can bring to mind :-)
DH's wrestling season has come to it's end and now he is looking to making a journey to the Bayfield condo to check on everything (mainly how it is wintering up there). Then before I know it, I will be in for my Jury Duty assignment. Phew.....hope that will be the end of the "To Do" list for awhile.
Well, does that ever really come to an end. I think NOT.
Well, any blogger friends that may be out there....have a great day.
Enjoy a cuppa and take on the day.
