Playground Weather AT LAST!

So I know you've all heard me mumblin' and grumblin' around the blogosphere about the stinkin' weather we've been having. Snow storms off and on the whole month!

Well, today was absolutely beautiful! It's supposed to snow again on Wednesday, so we took the kids to the park to enjoy the sunshine! I didn't forget my camera this time, and I was so excited about the weather, I got a little carried away! You'll be my BFF if you make it all the way to the bottom of this post! I hope the sun is shining on you!

The view of the beautiful mountains from where I stood:


The girlies flyin high on the swings:








Remember slides? My butt would get stuck if I tried to go down one now!

See why we call her "Monkey"?
This is a random friendly little girl who decided Monkey was her new best friend!

Sorry to hear about all the snow, but what a beautiful day!

I just love the pictures you took of the mountains -- we would love to move some where with that view.

Your little girl is just too cute.

They look like they had a wonderful time.

Where are you from?

Oh my... those mountains are just beautiful! Where are you? I'll have to see if you say that somewhere on your blog. The kids look like they had a great day! We were planning to go for a walk today. They said it was supposed to get up to 51 degrees, but it only got up to 40 at our house and we were freezing, so we didn't go!
Someday soon we'll have nice warm weather!

It was 68 degrees here in New Mexico and I was LOVIN' the weather, too! Parks are the best. BTW loved your comment about layin' down some hurt with the arguing kiddos. With three competetive girls ages 9,8, and 6 I SO feel your pain! Have a great week!

I made it to the end of the post--so I guess that makes me your new BFF! Cute pictures. I was amazed the grass was so green with all the snow. Hopefully the snows will go away one of these days, but unfortunately when the weather is nice in Utah, it is miserable here in AZ!

What a great day! And how cool that your husband could go too. It's always more fun when everybody is there.

And I love the pix of your "monkey" and her new buddy. How great that kids can be insta-friends.

OK, I'm stating for the record that you are NO LONGER allowed to complain about the measly weather when you can see the MOUNTAINS when you're at the park!!

We're in TX. Have you ever been to TX? The best thing we see at the park is....much less stellar than the FREAKIN' MOUNTAINS!! ;)

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...
