Tea Party

This drab weather made me want to have a tea party, so I busted out the fine china.  😂

I would just like to point out that the first picture with all the food on the plate is most of what I gave Laurelin.  If you look closely, she's already shoved a walnut in her mouth.  By the time I took more pictures, the food was gone.  😂  Do you like her surprised face??  She's like, "where'd the food go??!"  😅

I want to be very clear that Tarmund also received a plate full of food, but it was gone WAY faster than I was with the camera.  Well, there was a small piece of lettuce he clearly didn't want.  😁  Doesn't he look SO cute checking out the little jar??!  😍

Valentine's Day Part 3

Happy Valentine's Day!

Laurelin was sad that once again, she is much too large for these props.  She's also sad about being single for Valentine's Day.  But she feels very loved, even though she'll never have a guy to call her own.  😊

Oh my dear Tarmund.  He fits so nicely on this tiny bench, but despite the fact that he had plenty of room, he just couldn't bear the sight of those awful pillows, so onto the floor they went.  😂  Maybe he's grumpy that he's not allowed to have a date for Valentine's Day.  He'll have to stick with the memories of the fun times he had with Pig.  😂😂😂  In all seriousness though, he actually seems SO much happier to be living alone.  😊  I mean, he clearly doesn't not like sharing his space.  

Valentine's Day Part 2

Laurelin seemed very sure that this heart was meant to be eaten.  

Tarmund wanted nothing to do with this, so he left as soon as he could.  😂

Valentine's Day Part 1

I totally missed posting a single thing last week!  I'll make up for it this week though with 3 posts for Valentine's Day.  😁  I had so much fun pulling out some old props for these pictures!

Laurelin is frankly a bit too big for this bed... but I did manage to get this one shot of her actually on the bed.  Hahahaha!

What to say about Tarmund.  Well, this little guy was grumpy about this whole ordeal in basically the cutest way possible.  He insisted that he could not and would not share this bed with such awful pillows.  So he pushed them all off.  He looks so pleased with himself in the last picture.  😂

Toy Box

We've had a snowy weekend, but it wasn't much and it's almost all melted.  My husband had lots of extra work to do this weekend, so I spent more time reading, cleaning up the house, and playing with the pets than I might have otherwise.

I bought some simple toys a while ago to keep at our house for when there are kids here.  It has helped me have so much more peace of mind whenever young kids are over since our house isn't the most kid friendly.  I have all the toys contained to this one box.  Laurelin wasn't sure why she was on the box, but she still looks so happy.  

After Tarmund ate his little walnut, he searched and searched for more walnuts, but couldn't find any more on this toy box.

Da Vinci's DIY Kit by National Geographic

I haven't always been the best gift giver, especially when it comes to my husband.  I tend to give practical gifts because those are the type of gifts that I want to get for myself.  However, my husband appreciates practical gifts the way that I do.  Anyways, for Christmas, I decided to get him this trio of weapons.  He really enjoyed putting them together (which was super easy), and he loves that they really work quite well!

Laurelin wanted to chew on them since they are made of wood, but when they didn't taste good to her, she lost interest in them.  

Tarmund wasn't even the slightest bit interested in them and I'm surprised I got any pictures of him next to them because he kept wandering away.

LotR Pillows

I think anyone following me for very long knows that my husband and I are pretty obsessed with The Lord of the Rings and anything else from Tolkien.  We named all our pets (except for Kira) after people or things from Tolkien's works.  My brother and sister-in-law had these cushions made for us for Christmas and we LOVE them!  The downside is that now I'm thinking about ways to make all of the cushions more nerdy.  😁  By the way, you can check out the creator of these cushions by going to: https://www.facebook.com/SewWingsThings-137541996742848/

Laurelin didn't really seem too interested in having her pictures taken and most of the ones I did get, she was blocking the words.  So this is the only good one.

Tarmund on the other hand was hamming it up for the camera!  😂  He is so tiny and sweet!
