Movie Night: Tinkerbell

Kali invited her cousin Ella over for movie night tonight, we’ll be watching “Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue”.

I found an adorable little Tinkerbell suitcase to display their goodies.

We’ve got a couple of cute fairy princess costumes for the girls to wear while they play before the movie and Tinkerbell pajamas for the girls to wear while watching the movie.

I found a sweet little pair of Tink flip flops for each of them and tucked them along with a light up fairy wand for movie time.

I’ve got some treats and fun activities planned for the girls including color pages, poster painting and the girls each have a Tinkerbell sun catcher to paint.

We have one of Kali’s favorite movie treats… “Sour Patch Kids'” and buttery movie style popcorn.

We’re sure to have a fun night. We’ll be sharing more photos later!

Kali’s excited and waiting for Ella to come over and for their Tinkerbell adventure to begin! Kali started her afternoon at our house with activities in her new Disney Tinkerbell magazine. It kept her busy for over an hour and she loved it, its a really nice book filled with coloring pages, thinking skills games and loads of activities and stories.

Stay tuned….

Randal’s Runners

This morning Kali, Alex & Eli participated in the Acadiana Memory Walk with their parents and cousins at the Zoo of Acadiana. They were part of the Randal’s Runners in memory of Randal Dore, our dear friend and Kali’s paternal grandfather. Here are a few photo highlights of the event.

Pawpaw Randal’s loving light was shining down on Kali today at the walk. I love this photo of her.

Star Student of the Week

Kali is the Star Student of the week in Mrs. Fruge’s class. She loves school and she’s got a super attitude about school. She’s bringing treats to the share with her class today… a cookie cake, ‘star’burst candy and bottled water for her classmates. Its also Sugarcane Festival weekend here in New Iberia, so we used a sugarcane and farmer’s theme for the water bottle wraps and treat toppers. I’ve used Mary Fran’s adorable digital scrapbooking kit “Giddyup”. You can go to Mary Fran’s store by clicking HERE.

 

Today’s Luncheon

I had a sweet friend over… we’ve been friends since I moved to Coteau in the 5th grade. It was so great seeing her again, we had a little lunch and visited. Remembering days gone by and laughing about how our lives took twists and turns to get us to where we are now… a place where we’re both happy with life and loving every minute of it! Suzanne, it was totally enjoyable spending time with you and I really look forward to spending more time catching up and enjoying your company!

Setting the table for two with my little green dishes turned out pretty sweet, I adore the accessories that my friend Janey gave me last year to go with this tablescape, they really do add the perfect touch!

I used napkins to create a huge white rose with green leaves in the salad bowls, I love how these came out! Our little lunch for two included a lovely salad and chicken salad sandwiches on croissants with freshly squeezed lemonade, we were too full to eat the brownies after though!

Pleasure filled chore…

Ironing cloth napkins has never felt like a chore for me, its a nice reminder of a meal shared with friends this time around. Its especially nice since I love my laundry room, its spacious and has a very nice view of the front lawn.

Two of my photographic society friends came over for a visit this week and it was a joy to catch up with them and share a meal. I made a little chicken salad which I served on croissants with fresh, sweet cantaloupe as a side dish. We had scrumptious cheesecake brownies for dessert. The meal was as heartwarming as the time shared with friends.

Our time together was sweet, I showed them the new house and we talked about what’s been going on with them too. Thanks Debbie and Claudia for the enjoyable lunchtime visit. We need to do it again soon!

I really love lavender scented linen spray and used it on my white cotton napkins after laundering them this morning.

Thanks Debbie for the adorable pineapple decoration, I can envision this on the patio with some new patio furniture in the near future! I appreciate your thoughtfulness! Its a sweet reminder of a lovely lunch with friends!

I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday!

The Little Musician

I uploaded a little video … a very short snippet of Kali practicing her guitar and singing. She started guitar lessons late this summer and is taking weekly now after school with Mrs. Kaye. She’s doing great and I can only imagine how much she’s going to  love this! Pop bought her the guitar for her birthday this year!

Kali singing and playing guitar!

 

And a few photo highlights.

Goodness… every time I bring my little point and shoot camera I end up disgusted with the photo quality! Please excuse the graininess and pure yuckiness of the photo quality here.

Erica’s First Senior Swim Meet

At Erica's first meet of the season for her Senior Year she did really well, dropping almost 10 seconds from her times in 2 events! First place finish in her 100 heat! Way to go Eri! We're so proud of you!

Alexa came out to the Robicheaux Center to support her baby sister. Here are our smiling girls!

Puppy Pajamas

I created this layout using Shabby Miss Jenn and Jacque Larsen’s “Farm Fresh” kit. It features our little guys with their new puppy pajamas that Pop and I gave them last night after our Sunday supper.

Sunday Evening Games

After supper on Sunday evening, while Dave and Davey watched the football game, Alex and Elijah had their own game of chase and frisbee going (the frisbee happened to be a little cardboard coaster and the giggles and fun that ensued was just too adorable for words! We’d here “Get me brotha” by one of the boys and the giggles and chase would begin. They’re a bundle of laughs and have us giggling all the time. It was a very relaxing evening and I loved every minute of the interaction between the twins. Life is just so sweet with them around! The addition of a king sized air mattress to the middle of the living room made for a great tumbling pad and a super place to snuggle with their  mama too. Hope you have a super week!

Froggy Kisses

I used the adorable little kit “Happily Ever After” by Mary Fran available at www.nitwitcollections.com/shoppe.

 

Farm Fresh

The new Farm Fresh kit by Shabby Miss Jenn and Jacque Larsen is fresh in the SHOPPE. I created this adorable little party favor kit for the local Cattle Festival. Here are  few photos showing off the adorable favor package. A hat with an adorable tag, a water bottle topped with a cute little cowboy hat, pretzels with a cute cow pop up tag and a cow brownie bag topper. (I recolored the black in the original cow element to brown to match my theme.)

I also created this cute little layout with the Farm Fresh kit featuring Kali, Eli and Alex going out to the barn for Feedin’ Time.
