Every 3 weeks I host Lil'G's playgroup. Today was nice for outside play. The boys loved the garden. And the girls loved the slide and singing songs.
And here are more teeth!

New furniture...refurbished
Most of our furniture is hand-me-down. I saw this glaze technique at our friends Jeff and Annie's house on their cupboards while we were in Denver and I thought I would try it on our headboard... and if I liked it, the rest of our mismatched bedroom furniture.
Get this:
This headboard was originally a king-size headboard in my neighbor's trash. Gary sawed off both end to make it a queen length, which luckily the piece lended itself to. He repositioned the end pieces.
Here it is in the new size with some wholes filled and sanded :
Primed twice and painted twice
Putting on the glaze, paint it on, rub it off with a damp towel, and the glaze sticks only in the corners
Finished product (while almost finished, need the polyurethane topcoat)

More Valentines Treats
I like treats, what can I say, and when you have an entire chocolate gingerbread Love Shack that noone wants to eats you have to make chocolate covered strawberries for valentine's day. Plus it is the perfect activity for a 2/5 year-old.
Only fitting.

Guess whose the newest piano student....
Miss L is bored as beans at home. She is SOOO ready for kindergarten, I was thinking something had to be done. Things just happened to fall into place the last few weeks and she started piano lessons. She is doing great. We had a very good practice at home too. I can't believe she is old enough to do this. I think it is just the thing her and I both needed.
Bathtime
I know all three won't be able to climb in the tub together much longer. Here's to making time stand still.
Here is our little Alfalfa.
