Is This The Way to Start a New Year?

Bad news - Good news. Is this a sign of how the year is going to be?

Little Man and Daddy'O spent the day in ER. Fairy Princess was behaving like a princess of another kind and tried to shut her little brother out of her bedroom. Unfortunately, his little hand was in the crack of her door, the hinge side at that, and she tried to get the door to latch before she realized his hand was being crushed. Ahh, sibling love.
After screams, tears and ice. The swelling and bruising was quite bad, so to the hospital. Oh joy.

Here's the good news.
The internal bleeding stopped without Factor and his hand isn't broken. Thank goodness for those flexible little bones. After a couple of doses of Tylenol, you would never know Little Man had been hurt. Except that he keeps going over to his sister and telling her that she gave him a boo-boo. Which makes her cry and me sort of laugh. I am a mean mama after all.

I have been waiting for something to happen for months, and now that it has it's okay. We survived. And that's more good news...

Glitter is the Way to True Love

I have been very happy in my little world as of late. We have been playing in the dirt pile (when the weather allows), photographing the freshly sprouted rhubarb, sorrel and the lovely early crocus.

We have made glitterific papier mache party hats, beautifully beaded tiaras and a secret new artistic venture to been seen at a future date in our etsy shop.

What has brought all of this on? Well, maybe it's a bit of spring... The budding trees, flowers, passions and creativity all do go so well together...

The quiet in my mind and my baby-busy home has done wonders too.

But what really brought this on was that my sweet, handsome husband took Fairy Princess shoe shopping. These weren't any old shoes they went shopping for, oh no. They went shopping for pink princess glitter shoes.

It reminded me of just how much and why I love him so dearly. Honestly, how many daddies what to take a pre-schooler shopping for pink princess glitter shoes? Not many that I know.

Funny, isn't it? How love gives you a goose now and then and what can come from it?
