I told Poppy her friend could come spend the night on Thursday. She was thrilled, and sat right down to make a schedule for their 24 hours together.
The list included a tea party with their American Girl dolls.
The list also included baking the monster cookie mix this same friend had given Poppy for her birthday. So of course, the cookies were part of the tea party.
For some reason, this spoon sticking up out of his ice cream delighted one child so much that he asked me to take a picture of it.
Kind of a long back story, but the younger two wanted to order a howling wolf beeswax candle for their brother's upcoming birthday. I duly ordered one on Etsy, but what came was . . . not a wolf.
It was actually a fox candle, and the seller was very nice about it when I messaged her to let her know we received the wrong canine candle. The wolf candle won't get here in time for the birthday, but we get to keep the fox, so I guess it's a two for one deal.
This year's guidelines for creating the elementary students' Valentine's Day boxes were to decorate them with a favorite book character. Poppy chose Curious George, and we came up with a pretty good one using an ice cream bucket.
George is sitting on the Man with the Yellow Hat.
And last, lookit!
DAFFODIL!
There are quite a few bulbs sprouting in the mechanic's pit garden. The crocuses and daffodils seem to be coming up at the same time, which is sort of odd, but I am not complaining. Yay, plants!
We had two more lambs born this past week--both male--but I don't have a picture of them yet. Maybe next week.
There you have it! My life, snapshotted.

I live that Poppy made a schedule. She is the hostess with the mostest!
The Yellow hat box is perfect. This year is the first where my kids aren't doing Valentines boxes in school- 5th graders are big kids now. 😥
