Made these for the girls bedroom doors. Like our Facebook page to see more, or on Instagram. 

Another random project

Chloe zoned out watching Dora the Explorer holding her name sign

10 Things I Did This Week

1. Sunday we had a family sleepover at my moms. The sleeping part sucked. 

2. Monday we visited a friend and my grandfather. Good times. 

3. Wednesday I left work around lunch time because Chloe had a high fever. She had the fever (no other symptoms) on and off until after midnight, but was fine in the morning. 

4. I put a tentative hold on a third venue that I think I want to go with - this time it's the place I'm currently working at. 

5. We made a Facebook page for our Bead Sprite Creations. There will be no pats on the back for creativity when it comes to the name. We're also talking about going into a Christmas craft fair in November. So please like our page and support us :p

6. On that note, we've been making a lot of projects lately. 

7. I ate garlic fingers for lunch. Don't tell Eric. 

8. I bought a second-hand costume for Madi (a lion to go with Chloe's elephant) but it looks way too big. 

9. I wanted to get rid of the cat Eric made us adopt because his friend couldn't keep it.  The cat is fine during the day, but at night if we let it in the room with us, it keeps us awake by knocking things over or jumping on us over and over. If we shut the basement door and leave him to roam the top two floors, he tends to hang out near the baby monitor meowing and keeping us up. 

10. Saturday morning (today?) I should be taking the girls to a music class to see if I want to sign them up to go all the time. I think they'll enjoy it. 

10 Things I Did This Week

1. Watched the last ever episode of the new 90210. So sad that it's over, and so quickly. 

2. Drove all the way to the grocery store Monday night just for ice cream. Then ended up getting cookies and frozen corn as well. Eric ate most of the ice cream in less than 24 hours. I wanted to kill him. 

3. We made our first couple of bead sprite sales within a couple of days of each other. I found a girl who bought our Super Mario coin bank, and a girl Eric works with asked him to make her boyfriend a Batman. Upon seeing the Batman, she requested a Joker, which he made last night and brought to her today. I doubt he took a picture. 

4. I ordered clothes and dress-up hats online for the kids. Ooops.

5. I requested some of my vacation pay to make up for me taking Monday (Victoria Day) off, since it's not a paid holiday, but there's no daycare and Eric doesn't work so we're having a family day. I got a little more vacation pay than I needed, to make up for the online order.

6. Tried my hardest to get through 50 Shades of Grey (that I've been reading for 7 months). I'm at 92% as of Friday afternoon.

7. Chloe had a really bad night terror. I hate them.

8. We found ourselves with a tiny bit of extra money, and it's mostly going on Eric's credit card. Hopefully later we can manage to buy a BBQ for the summer.

9. The girls have a new Dora the Explorer obsession, and both like to sing the song.

10. I started to hate drinking can juice because it's too sugary.

Things That Make Me Happy

I am cranky today. Just ask my boyfriend. 

Why I'm cranky? Well because it's our second snow storm of the week, but I made it to work this time. It's supposed to snow all weekend, so my plans for the weekend are probably ruined. Oh, and money. I have money. So now, instead, it's time to list some happy things.

- I made a half coffee/half hot chocolate at work with my own hot chocolate powder. It's not as good as Tim Horton's, but I almost drank it all so I'd say it's good enough. Maybe I'll start saving money that way. No coffee = pretty bad headache. 

- It's almost the month of April, and that means real spring is almost on its way. So far, I don't like the spring that we're getting. Two huge storms during the first week of spring? Unfair. 

- I love Instagram. I don't always upload daily, but I like seeing what other people upload. It seems so much more personal than just reading a blog sometimes. Sometimes I post things on there that I don't on the blog. Simply because if there's a way for me to save my Instagram photos from the website to my computer, I still haven't figured it out. 

- Madi let me try almost her entire summer wardrobe on her Wednesday night. It was to the point that she wanted to keep trying stuff on when we were done. Mostly just to rip the tags off, but whatever. I got a few cute pictures, but this one by far is the best. She is too stinkin' cute. All the clothes fit, except one pair of brand new shorts that I'm going to exchange for the next size up. They fit, but barely. Chloe isn't as interested in trying on her summer clothes, but we're getting there. 

- Summer. The idea of summer coming makes me so happy I could cry. Walking barefoot in grass. Beaches. Swing sets. The smell of sunscreen. Baby hats. Flip flops. BBQ. Sitting on a deck after dark listening to the crickets. It all sounds so amazing.

- Coffee is good for me. And I love coffee. 

- Boyfriend and I have somewhat of a hobby together now. Next project? Our daughters' names. 

- Chloe. She's cute and I love her. 

What are you happy about right now?
