I Would Like To Introduce You To....



I would like to introduce you to  

Grandma, Grandpa and Baby Bear.

Here is Grandma.

She is pretty, delicate and needs to be handled with care.

I love her.

I got her at a flea market. She was a little pricey but when

I picked her up to check the marking on her bottom,  wink

the dealer dropped the price considerably without me asking.

A little birdie told me that if I didn't take it she would.

SOLD! To me. Sorry birdie.

I am so glad Grandma came home to live with me. 

When I first brought her home she didn't have a name but soon we started

calling her Grandma because the kids needed a little reminder that this was no regular dish and

I wanted them to be careful with it.  So I told them to treat the platter as if it were Grandma.

The name just stuck.

This is Grandpa. 

Grandpa is an old Pampered Chef glazed stone.

He likes to go grilling with Hubby, A LOT.

He is stronger, heavy and thicker then Grandma. No offense to the real Grandpa.

He goes to the grill, the oven, the table, and then the dishwasher with ease.

I love him too.

 This is Baby Bear

and he is just right!

He is smaller but just as strong as Grandpa.

He is prefect and goes in the dishwasher too.

I originally got him for his size and he had the look of ironstone.

I love him also.

 

Oh and just so you know

Grandma is a bath lady!

No dishwasher for her.

With a little bit of Dawn bubbles she is like a new lady.

And the kids really hate it when you tell them

that it's time to give Grandma her bath.

Youngest Valentine Holder

I know Valentine's Day is over

but is cute and makes me laugh.

Youngest made this at school to hold

all his valentines.

Sorry it is on it's side

So let me explain what is going on here.

The four hearts on the side represent the four Houses of Hogworths. Yup. Harry Potter.

There is a black ninga on the bottom cause of course you need a ninga to fight off unwanted valentines right?

On the right side (or top of this picture) is a yellow lego block.

On the left (or bottom) is a M and a backwards L (don't know why the L is backwards)

for Mario & Luigi.

In the center is a H for Hogworths.

And here is the part that makes me smile the most.

It says "Can't catch me".

The first thing thought was like in the Gingerbread Man

"You can't catch me cause I'm the Gingerbread Man"

Maybe Youngest was the Ninga Man running away from all those little girls and their vanlentines!



Milk Glass with Oranges

This is my

Milk glass.

I have a pair of

these.

Flower vase?

Candy dish?

Compote?

Whatever that is?

These hold my little oranges.

Cuties.

And when I see

them in the kitchen

filled full with those little oranges,

it makes me smile.

The Weekend is Coming!

The weekend is HERE!

And it's an extra long one too.

Monday is President's Day

and Hubby and I have the day off

and the kids have school.

Yippee!

So to night

we are starting the weekend off

with these.

Misty Sours

I love extra long weekends.

Hopefully we will get some

things crossed off our "To Do" list.

So here's to you.

Cheers!



Smile

So it's been four long years

of this

Not to mention

a whole lot of

money

Now it's

this

And Oldest couldn't be

HAPPIER!

It's all smiles in our house.

Super Bowl Commericals

Ok.  The party is over.

So let's talk about the commericals.

 Any favorites?

I loved the M & M party one.

Still makes me laugh.

I loved the Doritos Man's Best Friend one

but after watching it a couple times on the computer to show the kids

it's not as funny as the first time.

I loved the Doritos Bird of Prey one.

I didn't see it Sunday night but viewed it on the computer.

Loved it.

Plus, Youngest thinks he is a bird too sometimes.

Liked the Happy Grad from Chevy

Looks like something that could happen to us in our near future.

Honorable mention goes to the commerical with Jay Leno in the elevator with Madonna.

Hope you enjoyed them.

As for the game....

we talked so much with our friends

that we hardly noticed there was a game on.

We would try to be quiet for the commericals

but to be honest

if they didn't grab our attention right away

then we talked through them too.

I tried to load the commerical up for your viewing pleasure

but was having problems with our computer.

They are all over the internet so

check them out if you want.
