Architect Barbie

Mattel has announced they will release Architect Barbie this year. They say they are celebrating Architecture as the Career of the Year. Huh? Anyone in the Architecture field is wondering where their career went. Bad timing, if you ask me. Maybe it inspire people to go hire an architect! Also note, Architect Barbie is wearing a dress and heeled black booties, along with a pink drawing tube. I would love to see her on a jobsite in that getup! All joking aside, it was a really nice effort by Mattel.

snow sculpture

Here is a snow sculpture of a different sort. Luke Aleckson created this installation with plastic trays on his feet! Oh, to have the time for such pursuits.

Peanut has been battling cold after cold lately, he even lost his little voice last weekend! So sad! We've been in survival mode and am ready for spring. I'm also studying for my next Architecture test, so I have also been hunkered down. Peanut starts "SCHOOL" next week so we are working on a couple things with him to get him ready. Basically sleeping through the night, giving up the bottle, and adjustment to a new caregiver. Wyatt does not really do well with change or adjustment, so I know next week will be a battle, too. But once he gets in the groove his new school will be amazing! We went to a little fundraiser at the school last night, and once Wyatt would release his death grip on us we couldn't get him to stop running around with all the other little munchkins. Yes, that was us hauling our "shy" toddler screaming and kicking out of the building when it was time to go. At least he wasn't old enough to be interested in the cake walk. I was always scared of the cakewalk in grade school. ???? I know.

Dallas!

Dallas is back! Yes! The tv show is being revived on TNT - with members of the original cast. JR, Sue Ellen and Bobby! I just hope they use the original theme song. I loved that song as a kid. Here it is in all its glory on youtube.
