Turning old into new...

Paige and I have taken on a new project! Ryan brought home a coat rack a couple weeks ago, it was at his parents house and they found it while moving. Ryan made this coat rack in a "woods" class during his high school years. It's made the rounds from Wadena, to his house in Maple Grove, I think it did some time in the hunting shack up north and now it will be used as a dress up rack for Paige. Ryan cut it down and Paige & I spent some time sanding it yesterday. She's a hard worker and loved every minute of it, I think she'll be crafty like her mommy. We need to get a couple new hooks and decide what color to paint it...but the project is underway. I'll show an "after" picture when it's done, not sure when that will be...hopefully in the next 2 weeks. Here's my little helper girl, I love her so much!

Daddy has really fun toys! 

Snow!

This was a view from my back window today, it was fun to see my little sweetie enjoying the first "snow" with her daddy. Daddy made her a snowball and she held it like a precious jewel! In fact, it's still sitting on the back step so that she can see it when she wakes up from nap. After an emotional week, this view made my day. I love these two and I'm so grateful for them, they've been taking great care of me!

p.s. Paige made sure that daddy had her sled ready!

Bubbles...

During bath time tonight Paige requested that I blow bubbles, she asked so nice that I couldn't resist. She tried blowing a few times then asked me to blow some too. As I blew a couple times she was clapping saying "wow momma, you a good bubble blower" and "good job momma". I know it's silly but it felt good to be a good bubble blower for my girl today, it made her happy...it made her smile and that's all I can ask for at the end of the day.
I love you Paige!

Fun times with Sam

Sam came over to spend the night on Friday and of course Paige was thrilled! She loved playing with her and followed her around the entire time! Sam brought one of her old halloween costumes from when she was a little girl. Paige loved the little cowgirl costume and insists on wearing it every time she gets on her rocking horse! Sam was a lifesaver as I didn't feel very good on Saturday and she stepped up and took great care of Paige! Pretty sure they both had a good time ;)!
