Fun in the Sun

Now that the weather has cooled off a little and it isn't wet, we've been using the backyard a whole lot more now. Amy LOVES running around, so I set up a chair outside and have started working on my cross stitch again, while she runs to her heart's content!

That was yesterday. Today, Vaughn decided to come out and join us. With my cross stitch and his coffee, Bible, iPad and everything else balancing on a spare chair, I thought it would be good to set up the outdoor table that's in the pool area, in the backyard instead... get more use out of it. So, Vaughn brought all the set over and we both sat down and felt very content. It just felt right, like we are getting closer to having the house set up exactly as we want it! There are still things to do, but we have a plan and are achieving things. It's nice when it feels like home!

Packages

It's not often I get packages, so I was very excited to discover that 2 had arrived today!

Firstly, I won a give away from a dear friend so my prize arrived today... some magnets, badges, cute tape, a pink pig and a lovely note. She makes the magnets and badges herself - check out her etsy store!
And the second package wasn't exactly for me - it was a free gift from Huggies (I had to pay for postage, but still, good value!) for Amy to play with. We're planning on giving it to her for her birthday. That's over 3 months away so lets see if she gets it then, or if I can't resist getting it to her sooner!
So, a happy day for mail today! I wish every mail box check was this exciting!

Guiltless Shopping

I haven't had to do it often, thanks to the generosity of others, but earlier this week, I went clothes shopping for Amy. It was so much fun and I didn't have any guilt, because I wasn't shopping for me! For some reason, I've always felt guilty when I've shopped for clothes, even when needed. But, when I shop for Amy, there's none of that guilt, so although I have fun when I do shop for myself, this particular occasion was even more fun because there was absolutely no guilt!

Some adorable clothes to keep my gorgeous little girl looking beautiful!


(After I got home, I discovered that the security tag was still attached to one of the outfits (far left hand side - black & white striped) so how annoyed was I that I had to go back to get it removed!)
