Very Mary: Ten on Tuesday

1. With the way this Ten on Tuesday project is going, I should have done Ten on Thursday or perhaps even, Five on Friday.

2. Caleb started walking! Just a few shaky steps here and there, but man oh man, it won't be long before he's runnin'.

3. And the stairs, they are nothing now. He's climbing them over and over and over:

(And btw, Derrick is just outside the frame on this shot. Should you have been worried about my little troublemaker taking a tumble.)

4. With walking and climbing and general troublemaking, Sadie has taken to calling him "Mischief."

5. Case in point:

Mischief

Because apparently, once was not enough.

6. Sadie has taken to calling me by my first name. Or "Mother." I guess I should be glad it's not "Mother Mischief."

7. In other less exciting news, I'm working on my pantry organization project. I've gotten as far as deciding that I need to reconfigure my spice rack into something on the back of the pantry door. I hit a dead end at IKEA, so now I'm clueless. Any suggestions?

8. My mom bought me these fabulous vinyl rub-ons from Uppercase Living for the kids' rooms back in July. It's really embarrassing that it's taken me this long to get this one up on the wall:

But it's up, and I love it!

9. Sadie's current favourite game is to put on a princess dress, make up an elaborate name that no one can quite remember and go to parties! She discovered Rapunzel at the Disney store, so now she is Rapunzel-with-not-so-very-long-hair who goes to St. Patrick's Day parties.

10. Today, I am thankful to have a nice warm house. And also, I'm thankful for cinnamon rolls. Unrelated things, unless you consider the cozy, feel-good factor.
