Elsie

I can't believe I just made three posts without Elsie in them!!! This must be some sort of a record. I don't have any great photos of the girl, but I have to post something so here you go. My little angel.

Cupcakes

So I hosted a baby shower for a friend and I had the pleasure of making the cupcakes for the event. We were doing a bug theme so I made a caterpillar and some beetles with the left over cupcakes. Like most cute things this took time. I would venture to say that the beetles were actually easier then putting all the little legs on the caterpillar. I might do the beetles for Elsie's birthday what do you think?

The Trees

Well I hate to make all you New Englanders jealous but the trees on my front lawn are blooming!! I have no idea what they are but they are soooo pretty. They have these tiny purple flowers all over the branches and coming out of the bark in places. The branches literally look purple. These pictures are not that great but they look awesome in person...so why don't you come here and visit us to see them.

New Car

Well I finally got outside and took some photos of the new car. We are very happy with our purchase and our new found freedom of having two cars!!

Ribbons

Well I have found yet another fun craft to do in all my spare time!!! Making hair ribbons. One of my good friends learned how to make them from her sister-in-law and then taught us!! They are really easy and fun to do. But most of all it is just fun to see them in the girls hair!! As you can see I learned two styles but I might try to figure out more soon!

Bench

I guess the kids that came over to play did not understand that the bench is only a toy box. Once they took all the toys out of the bench they decided it was a good place to sit or a while. Elsie enjoyed it too but has not tried to do it since!

Some big purchases

Well it is that time of year again...tax refund time. With the credit we got for being first time home owners we were able to buy a few things!! First off we got a table (with out chairs not my first choice), a storage bench (for a toy box) and a chair for the front room. We bought them all from Overstock.com. I have to say I am happy with all our purchases but they are not exactly what I was expecting. Mostly it was the color that looked different online but with the bench I just did not pay attention to the size of it...it is huge!!









The last and final purchase is a new car. Will bid on it on ebay and won the auction! I do not have a picture of it yet but I will post one as soon as I can. I will start by saying it is ten year old Lexus LS 400. Which might mean something to you but it does not mean much to me. I drove it for the first time today and it is pretty awesome! It rides really nice and is quite a bit bigger then the Carolla but I like it. It is definitetly a luxury car with all leather interior and wood on the doors and steering wheal.

The Bath

There we were again at the end of a long day...and to end it Elsie got to take a bath. Her hair was up that day as you can tell by the horns made out of hair. She really had a fun time splashing that night.

Birthday Party

We went to a fun birthday party about a month ago. There were even a few games and the kids did pretty well with them. Yes that is Elsie's first lolly pop which she opened and started eating before I knew what she had done.
