May the Fourth Be With You!
First, a shout out to all our Star Wars loving family/friends/followers.
Turning the Page
Well, it's not really a page, but rearranging the bricks. (giggles)
When the latest catalog arrived we saw the Wedding Favor kit and knew we had to have it for May. Thankfully it's one of the cheaper sets.
We started with a green base. All sorts of greens because of all the April showers. Now they are May showers. Yep, still raining.
Then we built the wedding arch and added it to the lawn so we could space the calendar.
The calendar page is all white with light blue for sky and more white for clouds. The blue buttons reflect the color from Franz and Xyra's wedding.
Had to add more flowers, but stayed in the pink and lavender theme. For guests we picked out animals. Check out the hedgers and bunnies and parrots!
Closer look at the hedgers and bunnies. Sooo cute!
A better look at the arch and parrots and wedding couple.
This is not the groom face from the kit. We didn't like his beard so we decided to use the other head included, but he looked mad, so we took the shark man's face instead. He looks happy but nervous. (giggles)
Final?
This is it so far. I think it needs something...
Final, Final?
Okay, so I've added more bunnies - now there are 6 total - and two hamsters. I also switched the bride's hair with Olivia's. She looks better. I'm not 100% sure about the bride's face. She looks conniving instead of happy. Have to check our other mini figures later. It's too bad the doll heads don't fit the mini figure bodies.
Thank you for checking out our latest build. Hope you enjoyed the tour.
Stop again soon! Have a nice day!
Take Your D to Work Day
Last Thursday (April 28) was Take Your D to Work Day; I got to tag along with Xyra.
Starting the Day
First thing we did was turn on the computer.
Then we hung up our jackets.
And put the kettle on.
Started the printers.
Made sure the calendar showed the correct date. I love that it's Harry Potter. (giggles)
Then we were able to have tea and check email. I worked on my homework; an essay on the day's events and purpose.
Lunch!
Lunch was tasty tomato basil soup with bread. Lunching with the elves was fun; they didn't take much. (giggles)
And a moon pie for dessert.
I love the marshmallow, cookie, chocolate combination.
Other Tasks
Some of the other things I helped do included...Sorting, tagging, and filing papers.
Delivering mail and watering the plants.
I always like helping Xyra when I get to go to work with her. She works in a very comfy and homey office. I'm not sure what I want to do yet, when I'm old enough to get a job. Have you thought about what you'd like to do for work? If yes, what do you want to be?
Best wishes,
Spring Afternoon
We're officially over a month into spring. It's a cool spring this year. We've had very few days where short sleeves were all you needed. More often we need longsleeves and a jacket still. Mostly because it's been damp and dreary. I took advantage of one sunny day.
No Jacket Required
