Things are happening in Sophie's room this week and I can't wait to share the pictures! I have several projects in progress and once they are all wrapped up in a bow, I promise to post lots of details. In the meantime, here's a little something the amazing duo of Garan & Poppy whipped up for me this week. I have been back and forth about what I wanted over the windows - from valances and sheers, awnings, fabric bunting. You name it, I've considered it. Finally, I bought three yards of fabric and some pink ball fringe and handed it over to my mom. I told her to do with it what she could that I just couldn't come to a decision. Thank goodness that she's as crafty as ever, because what she sewed is beautiful. It wasn't what I asked for in the beginning or even what I thought I wanted, ...

The Big Day
We've never made Valentine's Day a "big" day in the monetary sense of the word. I don't necessarily want expensive gifts or flowers that wilt, but I do love spending the day together and making it special for our little princess. We try to make holidays special for her, even if they don't benefit us much and any excuse for us to buy her a gift, is always a good one. She requested a picnic for breakfast, so we spread out a quilt in the living room floor and ate there while watching our morning cartoons. Since Sunday mornings are hard on us anyway, we opted for pink, strawberry muffins instead of something more involved. They were yummy and I ate a few too many butter-slathered ones myself. We gave Beemer a toy FULL of peanut butter and treats to buy us a little time to eat ...
Nursery Update, Sophie’s Crib
I had a rough day today. Not because of one thing particularly - I was just tired, achy and the day seemed really long. I have pretty easy pregnancies once the morning sickness wears off, but I had forgotten how everything starts to hurt at the end. I have exactly 8 weeks to go {and should know an exact date on Wednesday} and my body is no longer my own. My ankles are huge, my calves aren't much better and we won't even begin to discuss my fanny! I don't look like I'm carrying high, but I perpetually have a noggin underneath the right side of my ribcage. Sophie has started using my hip bones as a way to stretch and despite the lack of room in there, she's getting quite acrobatic. Did I mention that I could eat Nutty Bars and Strawberry Pop Tarts ALL DAY LONG? I was dreaming about heading ...

Yummy!
Before the snow changed our direction for Friday, Ella and her friends exchanged Valentine's goodies and ate yummy heart-shaped cookies at school. You saw the crafts we made for her friends last week, but here are a few pictures of the treats she picked up at school and dance class. Ella all ready to head out Friday morning. Enjoying sugar sprinkle cookies, courtesy of mom. Ella on the couch Friday afternoon, ready to dig in! Pretty princess rings from Madeline. Her first adventure with Fun Dip, from Grace. Fortunately for mommy she wasn't a fan and Sophie & I got to finish it off. The ring pop did not disappoint! Now we're all jacked up on sugar and enjoying a Valentine's Day nap. Have a happy heart day. ...
