Enjoying Spring...

We have all been enjoying the beautiful Spring weather. Our grass (or I guess I should say our weeds) were finally mowed this morning, and our yard is looking a little better.
Although Toula cannot be convinced to go outside and enjoy the weather, she must know that Spring is in the air, because she has been keeping us laughing the past couple of days.
She enjoyed having extra living room time yesterday while we were off work.
She began her day by sitting in the sun streaming in the windows.
Then she decided that the Kleenex box needed to be chewed on a little...Since chewing on the box caused it to lift into the air, she put her little paw up on it to keep it on the ground -- for better chewing... She then hopped and jumped all along the couch until she just flopped down...
After resting for a little bit, she noticed that Charles had gone to get a snack. She then jumped off the couch and begged and begged for a little bit of the cookie. She is just too pitiful when she begs, so of course, Charles gave her a little piece of his Jumble lemon cookie...
She is such a good little bunny. After eating, she just had to clean her face...
We are all getting ready for Easter in the Willoughby house. We hope you all have a wonderful one!

Bulldogs win...

What a beautiful Spring day we had in Hernando today. The sun was shining and a breeze was blowing which meant I spent more time in the sun today than I should have and am now just a little red...
And what a great evening, too!
After much nailbiting and several questionable calls, which caused lots of shouts at the Willoughby house, the Mississippi State Bulldogs make it to the second round of the big dance! How exciting to watch Rhodes play a career high game!
Wish I could say that my bracket was fairing as well...

March Madness...

Well, it's that time of the year again, and MSU has been invited to the dance! Charles and I have our brackets completed...it was hard to pick with my head instead of my heart (although I have the Dawgs going to the Elite Eight).

As always asked in The Hump, "Are you ready for some basketball...Mississippi State Style?"
Our answer is yes. Let the madness begin!!

Top 'o the Mornin'...

to you!
We hope you all have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
Remember to wear green to avoid getting pinched!

Visiting Day and Bad Weather

Yesterday was a day full of fun visits! Tammy brought Brooke by for a visit. Tammy is a former associate with the firm, and Brooke is her new two and a half month old baby. Brooke is just so cute with her little chubby cheeks and smelled just like a little baby should! We had a fun time holding her! When they first came Brooke was full of smiles and laughs for us and didn't mind being passed around. Well, after her little snack, she turned into a Mama's girl and would just fuss and fuss until her Mama was holding her again. At two and a half months old, she already has the perfect pout perfected! Unfortunately, I have no pictures to post.
Then later in the day, Katie came by to visit. She used to work after school at our office and is now in stenography school and doing great. We always enjoy getting visits from her.
A lovely day of visits ended with some very bad sounding weather late last night. The thunder roared while we got heavy rains and pretty large hail. Thankfully, we did not have any damage, and the strong winds and tornadoes that swept through Georgia missed us. Unfortunately, they did not miss the SEC tournament, but our Mississippi State Bulldogs pulled out a win to advance in the tourney! GO DAWGS!!!

Spring Break...

The weather for the past couple of days has been so nice and springy!
When Mama came up for our Girls' Day, she brought us these little daffodils which smell so sweet. I have found a place for them in the living room, and they are making our whole house smell so good... Charles is on Spring Break this week. Yesterday, I took off work so that we could finish some projects. I finally got the top coat on the dresser that I was repainting for our bedroom and which was the cause of my ankle sprain. Well, wouldn't you know my luck, after it was finished, I had Charles bring it into our room, and it just didn't fit right. So after all the problems and delays with that project, it is back at home in our attic!!
We did manage to clear off the patio of the dresser, leaves, birdseed and other debris from the snow, so it is now ready for Spring. Even though we didn't get much of our to-do list checked off, we did have a good day.
We had a lunch date at P.F. Chang's which was delicious, and we had bought some frozzzzen hot chocolate mix at Serendipity during our trip to New York, so we ended the day which a delicious treat!
We also found the prettiest pink and green French tulips which I just had to bring home with us...

Girl's Day...

of shopping!

Well, the snow melted rather quickly once the sun came out. The roads cleared so fast that Mama called late this morning to see if I wanted to go shopping in Memphis. We had planned on going sometime this weekend. We had the best time!
Our first stop was La Fleur's. We always enjoy looking in this store because they have unusual little things for the house and the most beautiful plants and flowers. They had out their Easter things and had the cutest bunny made from a gourd!
Then on to Macy's. We both had our Thanks for Sharing cards and wanted to use them!!
I have been wanting some new makeup for the Spring, so the first stop (after a brief detour by the sunglass counter to try on the cutest big Coach sunglasses which I managed to leave without) was at the Lancome counter. All the workers at that counter are always so nice and do the best job with my makeup. After purchasing necessities and new colors, it was on to the clothes department where I found some cute tops and really cute jackets. Mama bought me the cutest little green jacket - it is perfect for work, but I can wear it with jeans too. I just can't wait to wear it!
Then off to the shoe department, and, of course, we had to check out the purses on the way. We were disappointed with the shoe selection, but we both managed to find a pair of shoes to buy there. Macy's didn't have the cute little pink shoes or anything similar that I saw the last time we were shopping (while I was still in my walking boot), so we stopped by Dillard's. I was able to find plenty of pairs of shoes there that I liked, and thanks to Mama, I didn't have to whittle the selection down too far!!
After a day of shopping, we had dinner at the Olive Garden and then whirled through Target.
It was such an enjoyable day. We both had the best time!!
