The Girl is After My Heart!

Last week while we were on our adventure, my Mom and I saw this book. They wanted $22, because the Toy Store was on the Plaza. I knew I could get it cheaper. I have a Barnes and Noble Membership. And well, I just knew, some place had to have it for less.

Good thinking on my part. :) Earlier this week, I went to Wal-Mart. I needed water, bread, and ice. And while I was in those killer lines, I found this book. Stuck in with the magazines. Oh, and I had My 'Rella with me. She LOVED this cookbook! Totally geared towards little girls. She was just over the moon with it! All smiles. Telling me about all the "recipeses."

I couldn't resist. Especially when I noticed, it was only $10! Are you kidding me? Well, we just had to make something. So when we went to My Music Man's house to check it, you know, I'm supposed to be "House Sitting," we decided to cook. First, we checked the house. Picked up the mail. That sort of thing. And then, we raided the pantry. Thank God this man likes his comida!

Anyway, we made a couple of things out of the book. It really is so much fun. I can't wait to try it out with more of the ninitas. I know we are going to have a blast! I just need to get another copy of the book. My Compadres were pretty happy too. Who wouldn't be? We arrived with lots of goodies!

When I got ready to leave, My 'Rella said, "Nana, I loved today! We had so much fun! I can't wait to cook again. My second favorite thing in the world, is cooking with you. My first is cuddling and reading with you." Seriously! My heart grew about 100 times. I LOVE that girl! And now, I think we are both Cookbook Collectors. ♫

Princess Perfection

We happened to have a little "Princess Party" in my hotel room this morning. Being that some of my Goddaughters, and many of my favorite little girls are here, we decided to celebrate the Royal Wedding.

A was a great help in that. Of course all the girls were dressed to the nines! They had all of their princess gear on. Because what princess leaves home without all of their princess attire? Not these little ones.

We also made sure, that all these girls took a nap. A LONG nap. Last night. You know, while us grown ups were working. So bright and early this morning, they were up. A was setting up a tea party for them. And we had tons of yummy food. I'm telling you, A is a catch! Any single ladies looking for a good man?

We watched all the coverage. I stayed with the girls. As the rest of the group headed to teach classes. After 5 hours of Royal Wedding coverage, I'm pretty sure A was ready to go work! :) But we had a blast!

"Nana, the princess is pretty. But she doesn't look as beautiful as I thought. How come?" The things that come out of the mouths of babes. :) I think they really thought Kate was going to be like their favorite fairy tale princesses.

My take on the whole affair. I think Kate looked amazing! I loved her dress. The top half, it was just gorgeous. And the veil. So simple and elegant. I love the grandeur of the British Royalty. But the simplicity that Kate and William wanted for their wedding.

What a fun morning we had! Tons of little girls, tutus, tiaras, tea, yummy food, princesses, and flowers. What better way to start a Friday! But now folks, I need to get ready for work. We have rehearsal in just over an hour. Happy Friday! ♫

Christmas Crafts

This is what I'm working on. I bought this pattern a few years ago. I've managed to make a set for myself, Dr. S's wife, and my little 'Rella. But my Mom and I are going to be doing a Craft Fair soon. And it's all about Christmas Crafts. So I've decided to make a few of these. I just need to go and buy some little safety eyes. ♫
