Happy Monday! The sun has been shining here all day and feels wonderful. I love it! I spent the morning at a friend's house doing some sewing. My project ended up not going quite like I'd hoped, so I stopped on the way home to pick up some more fabric. I will try again with better measurements. Hoping to have that done to share later this week.
Last week wasn't super eventful, mostly just the routine stuff, but it was a good week. I completed a sewing project that I started almost a year ago! The kids and I went for a walk on the bike trail on Thursday after school, but we didn't last long because it was COLD! Saturday morning I attended our local Praise and Coffee while Doug took Alex to soccer. I really like his new Monday-through-Friday-daylight-weekends-off schedule. He can still work some long days and even an occasional weekend, but primarily he's off. It is nice to be able to plan things again!
Anyway, here's a glimpse at what last week looked like around here ...
(can you say "last week looked like" five times fast?) :)

Alex brought home this snowman artwork from school. It is made from glue and shaving cream. I took a picture of it and threw it away because the stuff was flaking off and getting everywhere. :)
Speaking of Alex, I bought this hat for him from my friend, Laura, who makes custom hats. He loves it! And the day I brought it home he just happened to be wearing his favorite sweater with a train on it.
Working on my sewing project.
I spent some time watching the birds that were visiting my feeder and saw this red-winged blackbird for the first time.
Honey is my shadow all day every day when I am home. When I go do anything, she follows me.
Keira learned how to do a fishtail braid this week and wanted to practice on me.
Keira also taught me how to do a French braid since I have never quite gotten the hang of it. I think it turned out pretty good for a first try.

Honey is such a pretty dog! I love her sweet face!
I have the same shadow at my house. Her name is Bella. I love Golden Retrievers. They are the BEST dog.
Your pictures are so nice...
Love that hat!! His snowman is so adorable, too!
Love the artwork, and the braids look great! We have a bird feeder outside out kitchen and red winged blackbirds are common visitors. They are so pretty!
I'm glad you took a picture of the snowman art before throwing it out--it's so neat and has character. How fun to have fun braiding hair with your daughter. I always tease my boys when their hair needs cut that its almost long enough for me to braid ;0) Perfect train hat too and nice shot of it--so clear and vivid.
I just love that pic of Alex in his hat so much!
