Craft Fair - this weekend

If you're local to DFW, I will be at the Creative Christian Women's Craft Fair in Trophy Club this Saturday, March 2 from 9 to 3 pm. It's located at the First United Methodist Church in Trophy Club.

We have lots of fun stuff for kids including our new crowns pictured below.

See you there!

Snow Day!!

As I've said many times, we're in Texas, which rarely gets snow. Funny thing, Mr E kept begging me for snow on Christmas -- like it was my decision, lol. And, when the meteorologists started saying last week, we might be getting a white Christmas, I did not believe them. Then, as it got closer and closer, they started increasing the amounts of snow that was going to happen.  Amazing, we woke up to a yard covered in snow and it was still falling. I think we probably had about 4 inches, which is amazing for here. 

I wanted to share my children enjoying the snow, so I can look back years from now and remember the time. Miss Molly has never seen snow or played in the snow. I think the last time there were flurries was when she was about 8 months old. I rushed her outside bundled in blankets and a hat and had my oldest hold her while I took a picture of all three of them.

 She LOVED the snow and begged to go out many times a day the past couple of days, until her shoes and pant legs were caked with snow and her little toes were red when I finally got her in and undressed. She calls her mittens her "mermits." I have no idea where she came up with that name, but she asks me to put her "mermits" on a hundred times a day. 

This is Mr E the minute he walked outside. 

This is Miss Molly picking up a snowball for the first time. 

This is when Miss Molly walked outside for the first time while it was still snowing. 

This is my dear Ms Em, who was just hit in the face by her brother, who you can see laughing like a crazy man in the background. Don't worry, she retaliated. 

Merry Christmas!!

North Pole Days

Having attended my first craft fair with the Etsy craft fair this month, I'm not as terrified as I was. It was a lot of fun, so my hubby and I have decided to do another one before Christmas this year.

In our small town, we have a festival called North Pole Days.  For the month of December, our town is called North Pole, and if you mail anything to Krum,TX it will be stamped "North Pole."  Isn't that cute?


We have a festival with a tree lighting and parade and a chili dinner  and...a Craft Fair!  The TipToe Fairy will be at the craft fair this Saturday, December 1st from 9 am to 4 pm.  It will be held at the Early Education Center in Krum. 

We'll have lots of fun stuff - tutus, baby things, hair bows, American Girl fantasy wear like tutus and mermaid tails, and more.  Come see us!

the a/c saga continues

I know this is just thrilling to talk about, you have to be on the edge of your seat just waiting to hear my newest a/c updated, so here it is! As I write, dh is at our house getting the new a/c installed. So it was slightly better than expected, we only have to spend $3500. Basically the previous owners of our home got a 3-ton system and didn't replace the 2-ton coils, so our system has been working its butt off for nothing. Isn't that great? Which is very typical for the do-it-himself kinda guy the previous owner was -- you would not believe some of the stupid things we've found he has done to this house.

So, this a/c guy (who was so much better than the first idiot) said our inside part is great, but because of the 3-ton/2-ton issue, we need a new one outside. So they are running new lines because ours are too small and putting the new outside part in right now. Hopefully by tonight we can checkout of Hotel Grandma.

Oh and if you are in Texas and have had your head up your rear for the last few weeks, this weekend is Tax Free weekend, starts today and goes through midnight on Sunday night. We'll be doing shoes this weekend for both kidlets. Happy shopping!
