6 Random Things

My friend Melissa tagged me with this idea a while back. I am finally getting to sit down to share. Here are some great random snapshots of my life. I will admit to following Melissa's lead with some of them. Thanks M!

1. My fridge: I adore the french door and freezer on the bottom features. It has been the most wonderful part of being an adult with buying power for the kitchen. Other than my salad spinner that is.

2. Our flag: The flag went up for Vetern's Day and I decided not to take it down. I thought it would be a great way to honor Shane. Until the wind blew it down! Since I took this picture, the holder broke because the wind was blowing so hard! Now I have to go forth and find a replacement, which might be difficult around Chistmas time.

3. Missing: One left shoe. Children's Size 7.5 Looks a lot like the above photo in reverse. Not found hiding: under the couch, Allison's bed, Mommy's bed, Emily's crib, the Pack'n'Play, the glider in the living room, the dining room table, the kitchen table. Also not found in any laundry recepticle, known closet, behind the TV stand, the back seat of the car, the trunk of the car, the garage, or daycare. Anyone having information leading to the reunion of this pair will be rewarded greatly just knowing Allison has her shoe back and Momma hasn't lost her mind. Please comment with any siting info.

4. My daddy's clock. When I was a child my dad liked to find and restore Seth Thomas mantle clocks. When I moved into my first house, he gave me this one. It now resides most happily on my living room mantle. I try really hard to keep it running, but it seems to run better after he has been here to visit.

5. My new rug. I found it while shopping for shelving at Home Depot. Who knew you could find such a cute rug at a big ol' boy's store? I love it and smile as I go upstairs. Woo hoo, gift giving penguins! How can you go wrong with penguins?


6. Mini-Me's World! Check out the diggs Allison has racked up in her short 2.5 years.
Princess Poopie has her own kitchen with utensils and food. She really likes the cucumber and skillet. Any spoon or spatula that is supposed to be for general kitchen use seems to be fair game. Not cool when you need said item in actual food preparation. She will be a great cook from what I can tell. She will uphold the traditions of my mom's family I am sure. :) I don't know if she is ready for my Grandma's Chocolate Pie recipe just yet, though she does like eating pie!

If you had predicted a "throne" that cheers (if would I put batteries in it) when someone potties would be in my life, I would have laughed. If only I could get her to use her "throne"....

I hope you have enjoyed a random look at my world and our lives. I have enjoyed sharing! Look for some other random musings as soon as I get time. There are a few things that keep rattling around in my head, but I haven't had time to post. Stay tuned!
