The Simple Things

I'm joining a new link party this month over at Simple as That. Just grab a picture from your week that made you smile. Easy peasy!

Andrew loves loves LOVES blocks!! He will build towers and buildings for close to a 1/2 hour usually. Such a cutie! But, this time he really wanted to show Tusker how to do it, too.

Window Clings are soooo tacky, but...

Andrew really was about to jump out of the shopping cart to get these:

He loves these snowmen. I think it is because of the birds. He seems to love red and things that fly these days. He went all crazy-excited over a Southwest plane that flew over our house the other day. I know...it is orange, but it was close enough the color to think it was red.

Oh and he even made Tusker (his blue elephant)look at the snowmen. He pointed to them, looked at Tusker, then shoved his trunk up against the window, like "Do YOU see the snowmen???" LOL

Anyhoo! That is my breakdown for the week. $1 Window Clings. Not bad, eh? 

Andrew's New Friend

SOMEONE has decided that they like my baby from when I was little. Yes, I did have him sitting in the rocking chair in Andrew's room... But, I didn't think Andrew would care for him since he is not an elephant. Well, I was very wrong. I'm not too sure what I think about it either. I love that Andrew loves Lambykins. I really do. But, he is mine. LOL. I tried to give him up at one point to my youngest brother, but I about died that day. That was a serious crime to do that to my Lambykins. But, now, it is my favorite little boy (unless I'm having a boy then I will have 2 favorite boys) that loves my favorite thing from when I was his age. I'm trying very hard to be ok with someone else loving him. I know. This is crazy talk, isn't it? The thing with Lambykins, though, is that he is the ONLY thing that I have from my Grand-daddy. He is older than me and, honestly, I am surprised that he hasn't fallen apart. I think I can let him go, though - especially when I see this picture:

This picture makes me smile sooooo big. He really loves Tusker the most, but to see him give Lambykins a kiss is just the best!



Side note on Lambykins: Yes, his feet are Christmas colors. He did at one point have a scarf and hat to match those fancy feet. But, I wanted to wear them. Don't worry. I did let him wear a sweater that Mom made for me (and she does have that sweater still).
