Monsters, favorite rooms and other thoughts

So, last night I got inspired to do the month of softies. It would have been finished, but I don’t possess any fiberfill, so off to buy some today!


I was mainly inspired because Missy C got the cat and I thought Matey Moo would enjoy a monster…we shall see! He’s not really a stuffed animal kid!

So, I had to send a friend an ecard yesterday and came across Hoops and Yoyo at Hallmark – I haven’t watched thier little mini movies, but the cards are absolutely adorable.

So (beware), a little bit of a mommy brag here…Missy C, while we were out yesterday showed an amazing aptitude for Jenga…(ages 8 and up…ahem! She’s 4!!) and so Rex went and bought her the game yesterday and here’s how well they were doing…just the two of them! And nope, she didn’t cheat, she really got that far and YEP, Dad lost!


That actually brings me to my favorite room which I GUESS is the living room. In this house I more have most hated rooms (the laundry and upstairs bath…both because they need remodeling) but if I had to pick, it’s the living room. The large window (behind Rex) has a view of the mountains and the back yard and it’s a really big open room. We punched a hole through the wall into the kitchen, so it’s all kind of one big space. Anyway, I do love it out there, althought I don’t spend as much time as I did when my computer was out in the middle of it!

Ok, well, I’m off to be productive again today (yesterday was a banner day!), so I can’t ruin my burst of energy.

I’ll hopefully have a finished picture of the monster tomorrow.
