Monday Monday







Another weekend has come and gone, but I enjoyed hanging with the pops, mom, McCrae and his lady on such a gorgeous Mother's Day! Dad ( a vegetarian, mind you) grilled burgers and mom created a fabulous scrumtious strawberry cake that was to. die. for. We chowed til we tipped over, and laughed for hours in the backyard gazebo ( a gift for dad last Father's Day).






This week's theme at School is "Circus and Zoo Animals". How fun is that? We're planning on all kinds of fun games for the kids and Friday we'll have a "Carnival" in our classroom - Cotton Candy is already stashed away in the art cabinet :-) Yum!




I brought my vintage 'Spot goes to the Circus" book and a classic Richard Scarry that I adored as a child. Finding these cherished books in Goodwill, etc. is enough to cause my heart to stop beating! I love sharing these books with my kids - they can sense your love of books and that spark will continue forver - a legacy that I hope to carry on. Don't you just love his illustrations and attention to detail? It is so kid- friendly and sweet to boot! I have visions of collecting these books and decorating with Scarry prints for our phantom children .
My next project for the house: Painting the china cabinet and bedroom side tables white - Obsessed with white as of late, but it's so stinkin' chic! Counting down the days until Friiiiday!
