Joe's Birthday!!!

Today is my wonderful husband's birthday!  Tarcil and I wanted to wish him a very happy birthday!  Unfortunately because of his schedule today, Tarcil won't even see him, and I only will get a couple hours with him.  He is working hard, and I appreciate him soooo much!  I am excited for tomorrow when I get ALL day with him!  :)

Crystal Sled

Every Christmas after my family is done opening all our presents, my mom brings out an assortment of stuff that she has collected that she wants to get rid of.  Some of it is stuff she recently acquired from a relative who wanted to pass it down, some of it is her own stuff that she is ready to get rid of, and occasionally some of it is stuff she bought as presents but doesn't remember who she bought it for.  This crystal sled was something she brought with her.  I don't remember exactly what the story behind it was, but I think it belonged to one of my relatives.  I think it will make a lovely candy dish!  Tarcil wanted to take a ride in it first though.  :)

Tolkien Book!

My husband got this cute little book from one of his coworkers!  I can't wait to go through it!  We love everything to do with Tolkien in this house!  :)

New Table!

So this table is the big project that my husband and I worked on over break!  These pictures really don't do it justice because it is a huge table and you are only seeing a very tiny part.  The table is in our craft room in the basement and almost takes up one half of the room!  It has a huge shelf under the whole thing that now houses all of my storage tubs and drawers.  Everything is easy to access, and I have plenty of space to have various projects laid out at the same time.  Tarcil was exploring the end that holds my sewing machine.  :)

Lettuce

So we are at the end of this week of healthy eating, but I hope you all continue throughout the rest of this year and the rest of your lives!  I can assure you that Tarcil will be eating healthy for as long as he lives!  He really enjoyed this piece of lettuce!  If you ever need some encouragement, just come back here and look at that cute, fluffy face as he happily eats his lettuce.  :)

Stuffing Face with Cucumber

So how are you all doing with eating your veggies??  As you can see, Tarcil didn't really eat this cucumber... he basically just stuffed it into his cheek, but he did eat it later.  Sometimes you just gotta push yourself to eat those greens!  Haha!  :)

Banana

Bananas are sooo good for you!  And for those that have been following this for a while, you might remember that bananas are Tarcil's favorite food!  Since fruits have more sugar than veggies, he doesn't get them as often, but he loves them every chance he gets!  :)
