a little of this and that

I figured I would share a couple of fun things I've found recently.  While on a trip to the local Resale shop, I came across a pair of shoes that I knew Elaina would LOVE.  I know I probably shouldn't have gotten them for her, but I just couldn't resist.  It made it even nicer that I was at the Resale shop where everything is $1.98 or less! 

Yep.  I spent $2 on a pair of shoes that Elaina wears EVERY day.  Alright, I know how they look (like the 60's) and I know why we get funny looks when we go to the grocery store (these shoes with any array of clothing that completely doesn't match), but I still think they are adorable.  You want to know the saddest, yet most amazing part?  I can wear them too!  I can't wait to have a date night and pull out these lovely shoes.  I think I might reach Mike's nose if I wear them.  Wouldn't that shock Mike if I suddenly grew 2 inches taller?  haha 

I also happened to go to Kroger one evening and I came across the coolest bowl ever.  Did I just say a Bowl  was cool?  Yep.  I did!  It was on clearance for only $3.99.  Can you imagine?  I am so excited.  I now have two big glass bowls.  I use my glass bowl set that Tina gave us when we got married all the time.  I have a metal set, but they are all scratched up and they just don't work the same as glass.  :)  The funnest thing about this bowl is that it is shaped kind of like a lemon.  It has the end that you pour out of and then the end with the "handle" so you can hold onto it when you pour.  It's great!  I have used it SEVERAL times now and I just got it a few weeks ago.  :) 
     
Dana sent a link to make an egg wreath.  She and Abbie made one, so I thought Emma and I could too.  When will I ever learn? I am now convinced that she is superwoman.  Emma and I made one, but it wasn't as simple as Dana made it look.  I think Emma had fun, though, so that's what counts.  :)   I had grand plans to have Elaina make one too, but after the one with Emma, I think my egg wreath days are over.  haha
