He Lost His 2nd Tooth ... In The LEGOS!

For the past few days Griffin's tooth has been very loose and he couldn't wait for it to come out!
It finally did on Saturday morning!


See that little white speck in the lower right hand corner?
That's the tooth. It fell right out of his mouth and straight into the Lego box.


No worries ... Daddy retrieved it with a pair of tweezers.


He decided to write the Tooth Fairy a letter to ask her if she could possibly leave his tooth for him so he could take it to show-and-tell at school. The Tooth Fairy happily agreed to his request leaving his tooth, five dollars and a note at the bottom of his letter. He was SO happy!

Those Silly Leprechauns!

We saw the first one as we were coming down the stairs this morning ... what is that?

Could it be?



Why yes ... it's tiny green shamrocks!

Let's collect them and follow them to see where they lead us.


Well look at that ... it looks like those silly leprechauns have been up to some mischief. Leaving their tiny green shamrocks all around and turning over chairs!


We made our way over and what do we see?

More tiny green shamrocks and Griffin's cereal bowl and juice cup turned upside down with a spoon on top.


Mmmmm ... I wonder what's under that cup?


He lifted the cup to reveal a green St. Patty's Day cupcake all ready to eat!


Well, the rule in our house if a leprechaun should leave a cupcake for you to eat, you must eat it ... even if it's before breakfast. Of course you have to follow that with a healthy breakfast as well.


Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Raggedies Are Back!

It's hard to believe it's been 14 years since I've been selling my handmade paper piecing online.

Over the years I've experimented with many different designs and ideas.

One of the first paper piecings I ever sold was a Raggedy Doll. It's been awhile since I've listed anything raggedy so I decided to create an updated version of an old friend.


This is my Custom Name Raggedy Doll Girl. She's available in my MY EBAY STORE ~ WWW.MISSYMADEIT.COM.


You can also find my Custom Name Raggedy Doll Boy there too!

You can choose the name or phrase you would like printed on the circle as long as it will fit in the 1" space.

Please stop by Missy Made It! for these and other cute handmade paper piecings!

Party At The SPCA!

Griffin was invited to a birthday party at the local SPCA.

It was one of the coolest parties he has ever been invited to.


The kids all decorated a stuffed puppy with colored markers


Then they ran around the animal excercise room for a bit.

We then went to meet all the dogs and cats up for adoption. There sure were some cute ones there. We are SO ready for a dog ... we are on the look out for the perfect one for us.

It was back to the party room for birthday cake.

And then ...


The kids were instructed to sit in a circle because they were going to bring in some puppies! See that little chocolately brown puppy? I wanted to bring him home with us. He wasn't available for adoption until later this week. I was told I could put my name on a waiting list for him, however there were more than 100 names ahead of me waiting for a puppy. So, he didn't come home with us.


Griffin enjoyed playing with "chocolately's" brother ... he was a cutie too.

Thank you Kaitlyn for inviting Griffin to your party ... Happy Birthday sweet girl!

The Volcano.

Ever since we took our vacation to Washington State and visited Mount St. Helen, Griffin has been fascinated with volcanos. He LOVES studying them.


He received this wonderful volcano building kit for his birthday


Together he and Mike started putting it together


They had to actually "build" the volcano which was great fun


After it dried he painted it


Pretty cool paint job!


To make it erupt he put a little bit of baking soda in the volcano and then poured a bit of vinegar in it ... voila ...


His volcano erupts!


He decided he was going to name his volcano Mt. Griffin ... that's a pretty catchy name don't ya think?

Thank you A,C,H,Z,S & S for the great gift ... you rock!

I'm Still Here.

I am still here ... I've just been really busy with not alot of time to blog.


I have lots of pictures and memories to share.

I'll post them as soon as I can.

Happy spring like day ...

Bowling!

Griffin was invited to a friend's bowling party at Sunset Lanes.

Our sweet neighbor Grayson reached double digits this year ... the big 10!

Have you ever had such a positive experience with something you just wanted to shout it to the world? Well, this was our experience with Sunset Lanes. It was clean, the people were nice, it was fun and the pizza was DELICIOUS!


Griffin and the birthday boy to the left enjoying the game ...


He had such a good time ... and was quite pleased with his ability to knock the pins down.


Of course the blue iced cupcakes were one of the highlights ... all the boys decided to dip their noses in the icing.

I'm thinking a bowling birthday party may be in Griffin's future next year.

Thank you Grayson for including Griffin with all the "big" boys!
