Our Little Monster

I absolutely love Ryan's costume this year. He's Sully from Monsters Inc. We rented that movie a while ago and he watched it about three times per day. I called my Aunt Linda and asked her about costumes for a 2 T. She is an excellent seamstress and used to run a Halloween Costume Rental business out of her garage so she has tons and tons of costumes. She had initially thought about doing a cowboy for him, but I wasn't too into it, just wasn't sure he knows too much about it. Anyway, she was at the fabric store and mentioned some blue furry fabric. I got the idea for a Sully, and Linda just ran with it. She did a little research on what the character looks like (thank you Google) and had this done in no more than three days. She called for measurements once and the costume fits him perfectly. I just love it! Anyway, here are some shots of him around the house in it.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
