national barbie day

can you believe barbie is 57 years old today? on this day, in 1959, she made her debut at the international toy fair in new york.

i don't know how these dolls survived but these are my original barbies from my childhood. on the left is my twist & turn barbie and on the right is skooter (barbie's little sister's best friend). i don't know where my other barbies ended up but i'm glad i at least have these two.

"happy birthday barbie!"

pancake day

ihop has declared today national pancake day. they are giving away short stacks in hopes that you will donate to children's miracle network hospitals "or other designated local charities."

since this for dine-in only, and they are not a dog-friendly restaurant, we will not be eating there today but that didn't stop bailey from enjoying a bailey-sized mini pancake from jack!



until we meet again my friends-

project interrupted

"mommy, are you crocheting me a new afghan for st patrick's day?"

"ooh this is gonna keep me toasty warm!"

"thank you mommy,"

"but you'll have to finish it later cuz right now i need it for my nap."

bailey may look like she is "it" in a game of hide and seek, but she is actually just taking a nap. do your pups, or kitties, like to hide their faces while they nap or is it just bailey? BOL

"are you taking about me?"

until we meet again my friends-

alright mr demille, i'm ready for my close-up

some of my favorite pictures are when bailey walks right up to the camera.

she walks towards the camera, just like gloria swanson did in sunset boulevard.

but i think bailey is way cuter than norma desmond. BOL

thanks to ruckus the eskie, love is being owned by a husky & barking from the bayou for hosting thoughtless thursday blog hop.

happy dr seuss day!

1904 was the year.
march 2 was the day.
of what?
the birth of a man that would come to be known as dr seuss!

"thank you for crocheting this hat for me, mommy.
now i look just like the cat in the hat!"

aoife is lurking behind the scenes, so bailey is giving her the stink eye. i know what is coming next so...

i decided to stop the pictures and start the video, then this happened (make sure your volume is on):



happy birthday dr seuss!
thank you for your silly books that make learning to read fun.
