Sunday: A Few of My Favourite Things

What an exciting/fun/relaxing/family-oriented week we had!  We were able to make the most of our time together, working on projects, visiting friends and enjoying the snow-free weather (how long will it last??)

Here are "a few of my favourite things" from this past week (as usual, in no particular order):

1.  Starting a very time-consuming project on the basement walls - hand painting stencils.  I am only 1/4 of the way complete, but it already looks fantastic!

2.  Hubby taking Baby J to Grandma and Grandpa's for the afternoon so that I could work on said basement project.  :)  He is so thoughtful!

3.  Making crock pot chili...mmmm....chili (We JUST finished the leftovers Saturday evening, topped with fries and melted cheese.  A yummy, unhealthy treat.)

4.  Oma visiting for lunch and playing with Baby J.

5.  Sewing a happy polka-dotted apron.

6.  Picking up a discarded console TV and having my husband turn it into something fantastically functional!

7.  Baking cookies.

8.  CHICKEN WINGS.

9.  A two-hour afternoon nap.  Ahhhh....bliss!

10.  Dinner with friends from church.  They have four daughters, who all huddled around J, showering him with attention and kisses.  He was entertained all night long.  This evening also convinced my husband and I that we want a large family - it was just so much fun!

11.  A 'warm' Saturday (where does this weather come from?)

12.  Baby J's top four teeth finally coming through.  *Phew*  Sigh of relief!


It really has been a fun week.  I am excited to share over the next weeks some projects that we began over the holidays and are now slowly completing.

Happy Sunday Evening, and a blessed coming week to all of our family and friends.
