  Though she won’t be 5 for a couple of days, we celebrated Maddie’s 5th birthday today with a happy luau in dreary January.  And what luau would be complete without a sand castle and even hula lessons?  Our neighbor had a video entitled "How to be a Hula Girl" and it was a hit!  Also thanks to Aaron for sharing his 32nd birthday — whatta guy.  Happy birthday, my loves! Sorry, just had to include Aaron’s obligatory "insert-finger-in-nose" picture.

Well, my husband was off on business for the week and of course it was time for a new project!  Aaron never knows what to expect when he comes home.  This time I made a window seat, pillows and a blanket.  I’m so pleased with the results, and the girls and I have a new favorite spot to sit and watch the cul de sac and the TV.  Tonka, however, is a bit miffed that his access to the window is blocked — he still hasn’t figured out he can get up on it yet!

  Yet another snow day for the Tacoma area.  It still floors me how easily school is called off here.  In Colorado where I grew up, the school doors would have to blocked by a snowdrift!  Hoping to send my preschooler back to school tomorrow . . .
