Say it isn't so!

Unbelievably, it snowed again! in mid April!?!?!??!? This is getting to be ridiculous. I'm so ready to be done with the stinky holey winter boots that are cluttering up the entryway! Bring on the light coats and rubber boots I say! But no one listens to me!

So we make our own fun by having special guests! We lured Shirley into our lair with the promise of homemade Belgian waffles and she took us up on it. But not before she ran home to pick up the Easter presents she had for the girls. I swear we don't invite you just to get gifts Shirley!!! They were much appreciated and enjoyed though. The earrings have been a huge hit! and they never tire of chocolate ( and we don't tire of helping them with it muahahaha!!!)

After lunch we took Checkers for a walk only to be hit with this blizzard! Having special company took the sting out of the nasty weather and we enjoyed the visit!

Grammie the Seamstress!

Honey's dance show is coming up and she's a fairy this year. One of the other moms found a neat idea for wings but was tied up with other costumes for her other daughter & the others in her group. Being the good daughter I am, I quickly offered my mother's services, so that she wouldn't have too much time to dwell on the boredom of her retirement! As you can imagine she was excited to be nominated for this tricky project involving soft shifty fabric that doesn't stay still while you work with it! Since she was already involved, it also seemed like a good idea to put in a request for a custom made dress for Honey while she was at it!

The dress was completed when we went for dinner on Sunday and Honey got to try it on and fell in love! She's going to win best dressed for sure! (oh wait, it's not a fashion contest??? whatever!)

Huge thank you to Grammie, she rocked it!
