Bathroom beauty.

| Stacy

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.

A winter tea party

| Stacy

Mrs. Mrs. Fuhrman invited us for another tea party. 
This time she presented the girls with a princess theme that went over exceedingly well.

Katriel quickly spotted the animal crackers available to serve the dollies.  She may or may not have sampled all a few of them.

Mrs. Mrs. Fuhrman suggested that the girls bring a special doll to share in the party.
This is what they brought.
Really.

You can’t always be dainty when you are three…

It was such a fun and special treat.

Here’s a funny story about it.  Johanna had two cards for Mrs. Mrs. Fuhrman.  The day after we got home, I asked her to make a Thank You card.  She said, “No.”  She had already made two cards.  She was tired when I asked, so I let it go.  Then a day or two later we asked her again.  She was as steadfast as she could be.  She said, “I already told you, I already gave her a thank you card.”  And she would NOT make another card.  It’s not that she doesn’t like making cards.  She makes cards and notes all the time.  But she was standing on the principle of the thing.  So she didn’t make a card.
