I'm still behind on sharing so you get a Smilebox today. :-)

Every Little Girl Needs a Red Pettiskirt!

The first time I saw one of these skirts of ruffles and ruffles and ruffles, I knew the bunny had to have one. I only paused momentarily at the $85 price tag on the ones I saw at the Nutcracker Market last November. I ended up not purchasing one then because they didn't have her size. I know, I wanted to cry! So I recently jumped at the opportunity to go in on a bulk order and get the skirt for 50% less. And, folks, I exercised some serious restraint by purchasing only one...for now...

The bunny was more than happy to wear the skirt AND pose for photos! Surely you remember her Easter dress from last year? Yeah, she's over it!

The boy was also a willing participant in my backyard shenanigans so I was able to capture a few photos to share. I Smileboxed some of my faves, but Snapfished all of them. I even took a video. Enjoy!

Snow in South Texas

According to our neighbor, it has snowed in this area three times in the last thirty years. Noah got to see it on Christmas Eve in 2004 and last night the bunny had her turn. I've always had a fascination with snowflakes and I don't mind visiting areas that have snow. But I really don't want to live with it. Four years in Maine during my childhood filled me with enough snow for a lifetime!

My children are Texans by birth so they couldn't understand how special last night's snow was, but they were excited about it nonetheless. Noah said, "snowflakes" as he was trying to catch them. Mike made snowballs for the kids and this morning the bunny said, "I want to eat a snowball again."

All the snow is melted and gone, but not forgotten.
