365 CHALLENGE: DAY THIRTY FIVE

4TH DAY THEME: CHILDHOOD

MY OLD STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE FIGURINES! I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY HOURS I SPENT PLAYING WITH THEM. I THINK I STILL HAVE THEIR LITTLE HOUSES PACKED SOMEWHERE. I ONLY HAD THOSE FOUR, BUT A FEW MONTHS AGO, I TRIED TO COMPLETE MY COLLECTION AND GET A FEW MORE OF THEM ONLINE. BUT HONESTLY, THEIR PRICE WAS KIND OF RIDICULOUS, I COULDN'T JUSTIFY THIS SORT OF EXPENSE OUT OF CAPRICIOUSNESS.  

I LIKE THE OLD VERSION OF STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE BETTER THAN THE NEW ONE. I'M A TRADITIONALIST! ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT HER NEW OUTFIT MAKES WAY MORE SENSE THAN THE OLDER ONE, SHE ALSO LOOKS OLDER NOW, NO LONGER THAT SWEET PRETEEN GIRL OF MY MEMORY. 

I GUESS THAT'S BECAUSE PRETEEN GIRLS NOWADAYS LOOK NOTHING LIKE WE USED TO LOOK AT THEIR AGE. I'M FEELING REALLY OLD, RIGHT NOW!

365 CHALLENGE: DAY TWENTY NINE

MY OLD, THRIFTED CHAIR THAT I PAINTED AND REUPHOLSTERED. STILL ONE OF MY FAVOURITE DIY.

365 CHALLENGE: DAY TWENTY EIGHT

CRAVING THOSE LONG, LONG SIESTAS FROM LAST SUMMER...

365 CHALLENGE: DAY ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THREE

SORRY GUYS!

I'VE BEEN OUT OF TOWN FOR A FEW DAYS. IMPROMPTU VACATIONS ARE THE BEST KIND OF VACATION, IN MY OPINION, AND I'M NEVER GOING TO SAY NO TO ONE OF THOSE. 

ANYWAYS, HERE I HAVE MY LOVELY BUTTERFLIES. THE HUSBAND KIND OF HATES THEM,  (HE HAS A CONFLICTIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH YELLOW AND ORANGE, LONG STORY)  AND THEY FEEL LIKE A DAILY SLAP ON THE FACE TO HIM. 

THEY MAKE ME SMILE, THOUGH,  SO I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO STAY UP THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE!

365 CHALLENGE: DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO

I LOVE MY HUSBAND DEARLY. BUT WHEN IT'S TIME TO IRON HIS SHIRTS, MY FEELINGS ARE A LITTLE CONFLICTED...

365 CHALLENGE: DAY ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY

PILLOW FORT FOR THE NEPHEW. EVERY DAY IS A NEW ADVENTURE WITH HIM. 

WE MADE A FORT, AND WE TOLD EACH OTHER OUR SECRETS UNDER THE BLANKETS.  WE ALSO PLAYED CARS FOR A LITTLE WHILE, OF COURSE. 

HE'S BECOMING THE MOST INTERESTING LITTLE MAN EVER,  BUT I'M A LITTLE SAD HE'S GROWING SO FAST. I'M GOING TO MISS HIM SO MUCH WHEN HE BECOMES A SURLY TEENAGER! 

SO EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO AND CUDDLE WITH HIM FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER...
