Three-Toed Sloth Love

Hi! Last Monday was my birthday and I received a great present! A stuffed sloth. Soooo cute!

Today I want to give you a closer look. His fur is thick and fluffy! And his face...the embroidery is just adorable!

You can't see it very well, but his front and back feet have velcro on them so he can hang on to a pole or my arm.

His tag is really long, but I've seen worse. All the production materials and care instructions are on there.

Here he's hanging on to my wrist. I'm trying to be careful with the upper paws so the velcro doesn't snag my sweater.

See how I did that? Only his rear feet are connected around my wrist. The forepaws are holding on to each other. Pretty sneaky, right?

He's just so sweet. I haven't named him quite yet. Still thinking about what fits the both of us.

Do you have a favorite stuffed animal?

Posing

Now for a few photos with my sloth.

What's your favorite photo?

The Return of Cold Weather

Hi! It got really cold here again. We don't have snow like some in the midwest do, but the wind has been crazy. Today isn't too bad. I was trying to think of a mash up word to use to describe it right now, but they turn out to be real words - sprinter, springer, winger. (giggles)

A lot of the trees are blooming right now. This is a pretty one.

I like it here in the warmth.

You can watch the squirrels and still be warm.

We spotted a little red squirrel the other day. Not sure if that is good or bad.

Off to College

Xyra had to go to Ursinus College and took me along. They have a lot of statues on the campus. These two are on the front lawn.

That's Bomberger Hall behind.

We couldn't stay too long. The wind was picking up and we had more things to do.

Hope you are doing well where you are whether it is really spring or more like the weather we are having. Thank you for stopping in to visit.

A bientot!

It is?! Teen you must join us!
But I'm not dressed.

(giggles)
Now, you can sit in this chair...

But what about you?
I'll serve. Would you like some cake.
I'm not that fond of cake.
Ice cream then.
Yes, please!
(giggling and footsteps approaching)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LEA!
(singing) Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear, Le-a! Happy birthday to you!

We're sorry your gift isn't wrapped.
That's okay.

Mini Adventure #18

New Furniture!

LORI Urban Living

Living Room Lounge Set

Felicty, Holly, Rebecca, Tama, 2 or more, Blue, Visitor 2

Arrival and Unpacking

Hey, Bec! Look what arrived!
That's a big box!

Looks like new furniture.

Cool! I didn't know we were getting any. What kind?
The packing slip says Living Room Lounge Set. Includes: 1 sofa, 1 pouffe, 1 table, 1 rug, and 2 pillows.

That's awesome! Let's open it.
Do you think we can move it ourselves?
Sure!
(box cutter runs across seals, furniture is pulled from box, tape removed, furniture dragged into place)
Oh, I like this pouffe.
The sofa is nice too.

Check out the tag on this pillow!
It's a monster.

Good thing we own this and can legally remove the tags. (giggles)
(scissor snipping)
Much better!

Yeah.
Holly! Felicity! Come check out the new furniture!

We're coming!
(footsteps)
This is great!

I'm glad there are pillows; the sofa isn't big enough for all of us. (laughing)

Second Set Up

The sofa is comfy, but I kind of wish the back was higher.

True. There is still only room for two too.
Hey, look neighbors are dropping by!

Hiya! Long time no see!
Nice to see you Blue. Come have a seat or stand.
I like the pouffe. Makes me taller. (giggles)

I love what you've done to the place. Wish I could have a seat, but can't stay; have to run along.

Good seeing you both!

Meanwhile on the Patio

Wow! Is that a leopard?

No, it's a margay. I hope she stays outside.

Switcheroo!

I'm glad it's not too windy to be on the rooftop today.

Yeah, it's been really windy all week.
We have a nice view.

Nap Time

Looks like the margay did get inside!

I'm sorry kitty, but you have to move.

Ahh, she had the right idea.

Xyra's Notes

• Great set! Kind of makes me want to get the loft. 
• I love that the pouffe and one pillow match the patio set. 
• Nice to have soft pillows.
• The rug is soft and fluffy and the packing marks smooth out easily. It's furry like shag - would be fun for Julie Anne's doll house.
• Scale for the sofa is off. It sits lower than the coffee table and pouffe. One doll can't even lie down on it properly.
• The inner packaging makes a great background wall - would be better if they didn't put tape on both sides.
• The mugs are Lego.

Which is your favorite piece? Feel free to ask questions too. :)

Best wishes,
