bit 'o fame...

...twice lucky(?) to have the kiddos see their faces in the news lately...

My eldest was caught in a big hug

on camera during this amazing experience

And my baby and hubby were on camera in this freezing funness...
the Woodland Hills Yeti...

fix it up...wear it out...

...this is our beloved "Creature"

(the doll. Not the little monster, I mean boy. :)

we like our favorite toys to last...

well, Creature, tho loved,

was not snugly, and didn't sing anymore (creepy),

and was coming apart at the seams...

so he did disappear...

and new, snugly soft, bigger "Creature"

seems to be taking his place just fine...

'whew'

slipperly slope...

...we've been busy! I thought things kinda slow down after Christmas...wrong...boy was I wrong...they are NOT slowing down and I'm trying to figure out why not! It's like you get over the top of the hill (the new year) and go flyyyyying to the bottom....end of school year....and SUMMER....

...our newest project.
well, hubby's project really...so very proud of him: :)

Americana girls' room + three daughters = triple bunk bed:
