Going to Tea

Who says you're too old for a tea party? Yesterday I was invited to tea at my SIL's house. Every so often we get together and do a sisters day. It was a dress up occasion along with hats and boas. A large variety of tea sandwiches, teas and desserts. Miss Nessie May really outdid herself getting the place ready.

The table was beautifully decorated, place cards with our names on it and we all got to chose our tea and very own tea pot. I am so blessed to have such wonderful SILs and MIL and a very special friend Diane. Thank you all for a wonderful evening.

Our newest family member

Thank heavens for little boys. Our newest little great nephew Baby D was born Friday January 16th at 8:12 am. We went to visit him on Saturday and he is just so precious. I forgot how little they are when they are only days old but then my little guys weren't so little when they were born.

He slept the whole time we were there. I just wanted to take him home with me. I even asked if I could ;) but was quickly reminded that I wouldn't get too far because he had lojack on his ankle. Congratulations J&G on the new addition to your family.

The art of clipping coupons

Do you clip and use coupons? I just clip them, LOL!! I don't know why I bother to spend my time doing this because I usually do one of three things..

1. I forget to bring the coupons with me to the store
2. I bring the coupons I'm going to use with me to the store and then I forget to give them to the cashier
3. I bring them to the store and I somehow manage to lose them in the store

The only coupons I manage to use on a regular basis are the 40% off Michael's coupons. I wonder if that means something??

The Tooth Fairy

That day has finally arrived when Ry finally figured it all out. It all started when we had the Santa discussion before Christmas, he was a little let down to know it was me all the time. Well, Sunday night he pulled out a tooth that was loose. It happened so early in the day that I didn't even think twice about it. So today when we get home from school he shows me the baggie with his tooth in it and we have this conversation

Ry: I can't believe that the Tooth Fairy didn't see my tooth for the third time. Sunday, it fell on the floor, Monday it was stuck too far under the pillow and last night it was right there.

Me: I'm sure she just got behind schedule, why don't you try it again.

Ry: (looking at me funny) Awe man, you're the Tooth Fairy, huh?

Me: Yeah, sorry buddy.

Ry: Don't tell me you're the Easter Bunny too?

We both laughed. I guess it was just that time for him to know. E man is still in the dark, so we'll see how long that lasts.

It's almost over

Ugh, two weeks off on vacation and it is almost over. I feel like I didn't even get any thing accomplished but the boys and I did manage to see a few movies, play a few games, do some errands and best of all we all got to sleep in. It's going to be tough tomorrow trying to get up early. This cold is still hanging on a little bit so hopefully it won't be dragging me down tomorrow.
