Doughnuts for Hanny

I’m catching up my blog five weeks late.
I can’t remember why Hanny was being treated out for a doughnut.
I can remember that she wanted to invite Katriel.
So they dined on donuts.

Wednesday night fun

For a few years now, Nigel and Katriel have found themselves at home on Wednesday nights while others are in programing. 

I curb what I want to say, because I know he gets annoyed/embarrassed when I talk about how great a guy he is.  But he is a fantastic big brother, as evidenced by the photos I occasionally sneak.

Just three kids?!

There were only three kids at home at dinner time tonight.  Stewart was at work, and Marie and Tab were sleeping over at Nan’s house.  We decided the remaining five might like dinner at the food court.

Nigel’s loaded fries looked amazing.

I do love my food court Chinese food a few times a year.

Sometimes I take their photos

just to have them on my phone so I can look at them later.  Like a take-with-me album of our days.

She asked for the last bits of my coffee.  I love this quirk about her.

I can’t believe she will soon be four.

Bathroom beauty.

When we first moved into the house almost 10 years ago, one of the first rooms we gave our attention to was the upstairs bathroom.  I never took a photo of it in its prime, but as I prepared to dismantle it, I grabbed a few.

In 2012, I updated it to this.  The mint paint looks kind of nice in the photos.  In real life, it was rather jarring.

Over break I took a little time to give it an update.  It went from jarring to super-mellooowwww.  Tabitha suggested the beachy theme after I’d started painting.  I think it comes off nicely. 

The curtain is glow-in-the-dark fabric.  It doesn’t glow much.  But it’s a cute print.
