spring has finally sprung!

Finally a beautiful spring weekend!  I did a little bit of everything, I shopped, I created, I decorated, I cleaned, I played with one of my baby pies and I got the bear stuff out and ready to start!  

I ran to walmart yesterday morning and bought this little water table for my baby pies.  Though Marlaina did not come over, Torry did.   I cant wait to see them playing together with it. 

I had lots of window open and the front door open.  I took figgy and frannie out on their leashes and they were in heaven!  I raked a little bit around the back of the house and hubby mowed... so much yard work to be done though.  And, believe me when I say.. that is NOT my cup of tea!

Anyways.. thats about that for the weekend.  and.. I stuck to my points all weekend!  woohoo!   fingers crossed Im down at least a pound at weight watchers tomorrow night.  I really have to step it up and get walking and riding my bike.  I was gonna go riding yesterday, but I didnt get to it. Its supposed to be nice all week (after today)  today its supposed to rain.  So I plan on walking and riding everyday!

hey.. do you like my little birdie in the terrarium? a client gave me a coupon for 20.00 off at Kohls, so I went in looking for a pair of shoes.. (which I still havent found any I really love ..) then I saw this little terrarium thingy, It was already on sale for 32.00 so with the 20.00 off, I only paid about 12.00 for it!  couldnt wait to get it home and put stuff in it!  such fun to play!  And of course miss bird needed to have a little garland.  I think Im going to make her a little sign that says, HOME TWEET HOME! 

happy day every one!  gotta go get ready for work...(blaahhhh!)

still nesting here....

see??? still nest obsessed!!  

but really Ive had this on my dresser with these babies in it for a long time...

All tiny babies that Ive picked up at some local doll shows over the years.. there is another doll show coming up on May 11th.. so I'm hoping to find another tiny treasure .. You know me.. I just love the littlest things!

so.. Happy WEEKEND!!  
Ive been on call this week and I have to admit though not as busy as some others, it was stressful..  I always wish I could give details here, but I cant.   just know that some people really should never have kids.. and that my heart just breaks for some children.    I wish every child could have a happy, secure childhood.  Believe me, its not always about physical abuse.. sometimes living with unstable people can do so much damage. 

SOOO..  anyways.. enough of that..  
thank god... its the weekend!

Tonight I'm going shopping with Bethany and Torry pie.. 

I need some new shoes!  

and the rest of the weekend is open for whatever I feel like doing..  I'm having brunch with Natalea tomorrow.  I cant wait to see her as we havent gotten together since before Halloween!!! 

Then, the rest of the weekend I'll probably work in the yard and on those bears..... 

Happy Friday and Happy Weekend my friends!   

I hope its sunny and springy where ever you are!

NEST OBSESSED...

 

seriously....  having fun with nests and birds.. and mushrooms too! 

OK, so I was at Joanns yesterday and found these awesome little mushrooms.  I of course had to have them so that I could tuck them in here and there.  but you do know, dont you, that unless I point them out to people, NO one.. NO one.. would ever notice them except me.

I also found the cutest nests at Joanns, at first I thought there was only one and this sweet little older lady had it in her hands. I just was waiting to see what she was going to do with it and to be honest, I so wanted to grab it right out of her hands!  but she must have noticed me standing there, drooling and sweating, wringing my hands and wondering how I was going to get it away from her, because she suddenly looked at me and said, "Isnt this darling?  there are more of these right under here" and then she showed me where she got it!  There were three more and I bought all three of them.   Other people must be "nesting" too because there were barely any nests to be found at Joanns or at micheals!  but I did come home with a little stash.. heehee!

I dont know how much more nesting I'll be doing because, I really need to work on those bears!!!!!

Today is a birthday party day.  my little Tony will be 25 this week.  ( uh.. I think 25.. ) Anyways, so all the kids are coming over today for a little cook out.  I need to go to the store to get stuff to make a pasta salad and a cake mix.  Im thinking, hotdogs, hamburgers and italian sausage.. pasta salad and cheesy potato casserole, cake and ice cream.  ... except that I'm on weight watchers.. eiy yie yie.. I just will eat very little today so I can eat tonight! lol.  Speaking of weight watchers, I am past the 20 pound mark!!  woohoo.  and as of this morning on my own scales I think Im down about 22 pounds.. moving slowly along..  I need to step it up a notch!

LOOK at the little bird on the nest beads?  cute or what?   I made them into cupcake toppers.  they are a little small, but they are cute.   found those at joanns yesterday too!

and, I made this garland last night.. 

I wish I could have gotten a better picture of it.  it is so cute!  

OK.. I really need to get moving.  I'm on call and I have to go do a home visit this morning... fun fun... 

then to the grocery store then home to clean,cook and play with my family! 

Happy Day Every Birdie!
