Yup - you read that right :).
Sawyer is enrolled in Circus Juventas which is a school in Cirque du Soleil fashion. They start the kids at 3 years old so hubby and I have patiently been waiting the past couple of years for her to turn 3 and then I watched sign-ups like a hawk because it's limited space and decently high demand. I honestly admit that right now it's the coolness factor for hubby and I but I sincerely hope she LOVES it and shows some sort of aptitude for it. We've always been so impressed with this outfit and it might be a way for her to meet non-white-bread subarbanite kids. I'll definitely post pics after her first practice next Saturday.

My little girl is growing up...
and I'm so sad!!!!! I want to hold onto her childhood forever :(.
Sawyer had her first dance class this past Wednesday night. She was SO excited! She has to wear a black leotard (or unitard as she calls it), pink tights, and her hair pulled back.
The class is 30 minutes long and the kids all did really well at listening, etc for the first 20 minutes and then attention span was gone! She was the littlest squirt there (and probably the youngest).
I don't know how long we'll do dance. I'm not into the super dressed up looking like little young tarts thing so until then, I'll just go with the flow.

We're back!!!
Had a fabulous 2 child-free nights with my husband!!!! We reached Mineral Point around 6pm Friday night, checked into our room and went downstairs to dinner. Dinner was fabulous!!!!! And the tiramasu even better ;). Took a nice long soak in the huge tub and read in bed. Fabulous! Woke up Saturday morning to check out the farmer's market, had coffee at The Spotted Dog (best chai latte I've ever had!), had lots of fun listening to the locals at coffee, shopped some, ate a pasty for lunch at the Red Rooster, and shopped some more. Mineral Point is a super quaint town in southern WI that was settled by miners from Cornwall. Lots of great little shops and a haven for artists.
Speaking of artists, we went into a gallery that had works by Tom Kelly that both of us loved...very whimsical with great colors. We asked the owners if they knew where he was from and they replied with...that's him that you hear whistling from his studio! She took us back to meet him and we decided to have a piece commissioned for Sawyer's room. Then he shows us his portfolio and turns up he's the artist for the covers of the Land's End holiday catalogs! I thought his work looked familiar! He was really fun to talk to and he even remembered us from coffee earlier in the day.
I also had a little too much fun in a yarn shop (considering I really don't knit...yet) and am currently working on a scarf
and can't wait to make something out of this next!
Saturday night we saw Much Ado about Nothing at the American Player's Theater in Spring Green. It's just like seeing something at the Guthrie but it's outside...imagine a crisp cool night, cuddled up under a cozy blanket, crickets chirping, stars twinkling, and a Shakespearean comedy...can it get much better? Not really. The play was wonderful and the evening was topped off with tiramasu (yes - again) back at our room.
Sunday (sigh) was travel day but we decided to stop in Mount Horeb first for lunch and a bit of a walk around. We had lunch at The Grumpy Troll (a microbrewery) and husband tried the sampler....
Let's just say....he had some fun with the beer sampler!
We got back home around 6pm Sunday night and it's back to normal here. Back to work tomorrow! Have a great Labor Day, everyone!

And we're off!
Hedonistic weekend here we come! Sex, sex, and more sex with my husband (am I allowed to say sex in a blog? Am I breaking some "blog rules" I just don't know about yet? I'm kind of new to blogging....)
We're headed down to the cutest little B&B in Mineral Point, WI and then seeing Much Ado About Nothing at American Player's Theatre in Spring Green. I. Cannot. Wait! I have been looking forward to this so much. Husband and I don't out often...it's actually been a year since our last date. The theater is outdoors and there should be a crisp Fall chill in the air so I bought new fluffy cozy blankets today and we can cuddle under the stars. Sigh. Can it get much more romantic?
Have a great weekend, all! Much love to you!

I've got it bad....
Etsy bad that is. I truly think it's because I have a ton of work to do at work but don't want to do it so am finding any which way I can to distract myself. That being said, in the last two days I have purchased the following:
Speaking of Amsterdam, my dear friend says I need to practice. I don't know how to practice...I can't find anyone to sell any to me to practice with!
In other news, my friend Trace has made the most wonderful perfume ever. It's called Amber Sambaca and is the most wonderful ambery resiny perfume blend ever and it lasts and lasts and lasts. Her website is listed in my links off to the right ========> Enjoy! Her stuff is delectable!
Speaking of perfume, hubby and I watched the movie this weekend and I loved it!!!! I understand the guys obsession with scent but definitely do not approve of his methods :). The movie was very creepy and perfect for a dark and stormy night....
- 4 Halloween Cards
- 1 Birthday card for my faerie princess
- 1 Christmas Ornament
- 1 Christmas banner thingy that looked cool
- 1 bracelet with a pair of matching earrings
- 1 custom bracelet
- 1 skein of the most beautiful hand spun wool (but I don't know how to make anything)
- Which leads me to....

I like tequila a lot
These are the words just spoken by my husband. Gotta love a man that loves his tequila :). Poor guy is worried about finding a new job (his current one is very sucky and it's not getting better any day soon) and his parents keep calling with computer troubles. My husband is not a computer support person. But tell his parents this. Very annoying.
I made a cake today from an Ina Garten recipe - chocolate, coffee, and a ton of buttery decadence. I swear I'm going to make myself sick (from sampling lots and lots of frosting) before I truly even have a piece of cake. I've not made a bad Ina Garten recipe.
Ok - said husband is on floor saying "Tequila was good. That was three shots....". Do you think I need to worry, lol?!? He's looking quite relaxed at the moment....I'm jealous!
