While we were taking our self-portraits someone came to the door and I looked to see who it was so that's how we ended up with this shot, which actually ended up being the best one of the 3 we took.
Michelle served homemade pizza for lunch.
I cut out some good mail labels and wrote several cards.
Blog friend Sandy sent us a bag of sesame honey almonds for a candy-free snack alternative, and they were great.
Poor Eva was NOT so keen on them, and I felt sorry for steering her wrong, usually our bowl is full of chocolaty goodness.
Michelle's mom requested good mail labels for her birthday so I obliged. I am always super intimidated about making or buying anything for her because she is such a style guru, but I did what I could do.
I love Michelle's lists!
Michelle made a tinfoil dinner for Max then dropped him off for his scout camp out.
Eva did some "tricks" for me while Michelle was gone.
Ole!
Poor Lucas was on day 5 at home in bed sick and was not keen on posing for a picture.
We finished the day with 4 cups each from the world's cutest tea set.
This was our output for the day, and as I was dropping them off at the drive-thru mailboxes I dropped one of the envelopes and had to get out of the car to retrieve it. This was embarrassing as there were cars behind mine and it was a very tight fit because I had pulled up close to the mailboxes. It was a total "I Love Lucy" moment.
**Don't you love the spontaneity of self-portraits?
Have you tried those sesame honeyed almonds?
Have you ever sipped from such a cute cup?**

I love the new header. So springy. I am not good at taking self portraits. Mine never come out very well also.
I haven't tried the honey almond. I do like the honey roast cashews you can buy in the lanes as you check out at target. Sometimes I buys those for a snack.
I like honey, was the honey almond good?
I have had many, many sips of tea from those same cute cups since my daughter has that set.
I think I need a set of footed pj's!
So glad you liked the almonds! I'm terrible at self portraits. What's the secret to getting everyone in the pic? Maybe my arms aren't long enough? Love the font on the Good Mail stickers for Michelle's mom. She will love them! Speaking of crappy weather, our terrible winds are creating nonstop bad hair days. Ugh...
Your blog looks like spring! I'm loving the orange and the flowers!
You and Michelle look great in matching magenta! I do love those sesame almonds. Someone at Trader Joes told me last time I bought them that they are really good on vanilla ice cream. Haven't tried that, but maybe you guys can next Creative Friday!
1. I WANT that pizza recipe.
2. That little Eva is a firecracker. And you capture her perfectly. Michelle must be constantly entertained.
3. An "I Love Lucy Moment..." another Jill-ism.
4. As always, I am inspired by your consistency with Good Mail. One of these days (years), I will spur my non-consistent self into action. I want to emulate that trait of yours.
5. The return of SPT? Truly?! I will never take it for granted again. I am going STRAIGHT to Lelly's blog to tell her so.
I'm so in love with your new header and spring-time colors! I feel happy just looking at the screen :)
Hope you've recovered from your busy week.
Somehow I missed your FYI that is in BOLD (what's up with that?!) so I'm so glad I caught Crystal's comment!
Yeah for SPTs--I have missed them and Lelly!
Your orange background certainly brightened up my day! I likey!
I've had that happen to me at the bank and I felt so silly--like the tellers were all laughing at me wathing me through their monitors. Oh well. I held my head high and drove off.
Maybe that will teach Eva not to dip her hand in the bowl. HA!
The pizza looks amazing. Sounds so good right now.
When you change your blog background it works. When I do, it's like, what the hey-ho?
You know, on one hand I can't believe that Eva still isn't in school yet. Her early years seem to have lasted so, so long. On the other, It's hard to put my mind around the fact that she doesn't appear on your blogs any more as the gooey-faced baby of yesteryear. How can she ever be anything than Little Baby Eva? What did Marc call her? The baby to end all babies? It will be weird when she isn't a baby anymore, but instead a certifiable big girl. The axis on which Creative Friday centers will definitely shift when sweet Eva is at school!
Coy B. Jenson, my postmaster general, was in LOVE with the stickers on all my packages. She thought it was adorable that they said "good mail" on them. So, you are spreading the smiles all over!
What a happy orange!
I'm dying over your I Love Lucy moment, what a perfect description.
Also dying over Rebekah's Eva comment. So true, so true.
