as you know, my love affair with owls has turned into an obsession. i found these cute little guys on etsy. they were a bronze color, but i felt they were too cute to not be painted a happier color...so, here they are in their fancy new hues. just as cute as can be!

our visit to the truman library

my friend kelly and i took the kids to the truman presidential library yesterday near kansas city, missouri. we weren't able to get very many pictures inside the library, because no flash photography is allowed, and the museum is soooo dark. but, we had a great time. the kids didn't learn as much as i had hoped, due to the fact that this library wasn't as "child-friendly" as some of the others, but the kids still had a good time, and i was able to find a book for kids on truman that was filled with facts, so at least they'll learn more about him at home, and will be able to relate better him, than if they hadn't been to the library and seen pictures, belongings and such. the kids didn't mind the non-kid-friendly atmosphere much though. they were so happy to be together and play around. all in all, it was a fun, semi-educational day (although kelly and i learned alot). ;)

the view from where i live...

for those of you who know just how far we're living outside of town, and feel so sorry for us that we have to make the long drive in, i thought i'd show you what we get to see every night and every morning...it should help you see that living in nowhereville isn't as bad as it seems. this is our lake. i love it here.

okay, so i'm salivating over this...

see the pink poufs??? yeah, i'm gonna have to get me one of 'em. they're so pretty. and...pink. my husband will no doubt look at it, stare, if you will, get a questionable look on his face and ask "what is that, and why do we need it?" but i already have an answer. "it's a pink pouf (i really like saying that), and every girl *needs* a pink pouf in her craft room." to which he'll roll his eyes, shake his head and say "alright, whatever. girls are weird." ha! he knows to pick his battles. ;) but it IS super cute, isn't it?!
