Happy Friday

I am really excited for this weekend for three reasons. One being two of my wandering friends are back in town!

One of said friends (Lindsey) Brett was also in town but has already gone back  :( 

Two we are having a Cinco De Mayo party to celebrate! And Three the second season of Sherlock is starting on Sunday, hip hip hooray!

One day I was riding my bike and I saw the following graffiti, Gilbert has become a much cooler place in my opinion!

 Yep my bike and I are still having some great adventures, I love being out doors especially around sunset.

While Debbie and Russ were buying a minivan I was watching the kids. I couldn't find a swimming diaper for Joe so this happened.

One of my favorite things to do with my nieces and nephews is draw and color. 

 Gracie asked me to draw a picture of William her and I holding hands so she could paint it. I think we should do more.

 Joe is finally saying my name and as you can tell I am really happy about it!!! It kind of sounds like Co-ie.

Downton Abbey

In case you didn't know I am a complete sucker for period dramas and no one does period dramas like the BBC. I was excited to see that Downton was coming to Masterpiece Theater last year. I enjoyed the first season with its beautiful costumes but could have done with a little less drama and a lot more Dowager Countess.


I like the character of Matthew, he reminds me a lot of Gilbert Blythe but Dan Stevens has not reached fiction boyfriend level.

He played Edward Ferris in the Sense & Sensibility mini series. So if he is a fictional boyfriend you might want to watch it.
Speaking of The Dowager Countess did you guys see that I can now add her to my paper doll collection. (Thanks Chelsea for pinning it for me)

 I am so sad this season is over I loved having something to look forward to on Sunday. But if you are like me you won't have to wait long because Masterpiece Theater is starting the second season of Sherlock on May 6th.

If you didn't catch the first, I think there are only 3 episodes they are on Netflix.
