O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree....

how lovely are your.....teddy bears!

When I first set foot in this store- I thought everything looked so modern and, well, strange. They have lamps shaped like giant eggs and furniture that is turquoise and silver. This is a store where the only colors for Christmas are silver, gold, black and red. Seriously, that's it. When I first strolled around and around the circular floor plan, I remember thinking how dreadful I found the bright orange pouf with green accents.

When I first took the glass elevator up to the second floor to peruse the sleek lines of the barware, I thought, how cold it all seems.

Now I like it! They didn't disappoint me with their tree, either. Talk about a shift in mentation....what is going on????

Have a Very Merry Un-birthday to you, to you....

The tallest of the small is 6.5 years old. We had the usual half-birthday fun. At school, on her half-birthday, one of her friends told her that half birthdays aren't real. She mentioned this to me when she got off the bus. Then she asked me if half birthdays are "real." Hmmmmm. "What do you think?" I asked her (love that parenting technique). Well, she explained that lots of people don't celebrate their half birthdays, most people probably. But since we do, they are real for us. Sounds good to me : ) You get to celebrate their lives twice as many times- how can I resist, besides, it involves CAKE people! Happy half-birthday!

Shuffleboard, anyone??????

As you can see by my lack of posting, we are having a fun summer! The weather has been wonderful- nice and HOT! We have been swimming and going to the markets, going to the park, etc. What a wonderful summer- and it's not over yet : ) We took a cruise with Auntie Na, Uncle Crunch and Nanny-o. It was fabulous. The food was awesome, the ports were fun and best of all, it was easy and relaxing. We had so many nice family moments. The girls were so much fun and they loved every minute of it. We sailed out of Stockholm after visiting there for a day, went to Helsinki, Finland; St. Petersburg, Russia (!); Riga, Latvia; Gdansk, Poland; and finally Visby, Sweden. This game was in the misty rain....we never let a little rain dampen our fun. H was in kids camp that afternoon. More to come.....
