Goodbye Sillybandz, Hello Erasers

Emma-Rae just HAD to go to Walgreens after school today, she desperately NEEDED these erasers! No more trading Sillybandz at school, tomorrow she will be trading these little erasers. I love the fortune cookie! :)

Yesterday & Today

We spent yesterday laying around...


Watching movies...

Swimming & visiting Grandma @ the hotel...





But this morning things were a little bit different...
3 inches of SNOW!!!









Last year it was a snow cat...this year it is a snow TURTLE!!!

Most Wondrous Dishwasher

This week we made lemonade out of lemons! Our washing machine croaked & that led to a new washer, dryer, & the one appliance my itsy bitsy kitchen has been missing since we moved into this house 11 years ago...a dishwasher!! Found the washer & dryer set on sale at Lowes, stacked them on one side of the kitchen, met a plumber at Lowes that ran the water to the other side of the kitchen. Put the dishwasher where the washing machine used to be & then my husband whipped up a new stainless counter for us, love it!





Framed the Oregon Coast postcards I picked up at the Oregon Coast Aquarium this summer, love them!
