New Disney Stuff

I finally gave in and bought the Jim Shore Beauty & the Beast Castle. I am going to put it in my entertainment center display cabinet. It has a tiny Belle & Beast in the rotunda, and you can turn the nob on the bottom to have them dance to the "Beauty & the Beast" song. Also it has LED lights that can be turned on. I think it's great, and goes well with my Sleeping Beauty castle that I got last Christmas. Here is a view of the front -
And the back -

I also got some personalized doggie dishes from the Disney Store.
I think they came out really cute!
Here is a view of the inside of the bowls -

Spring is here!

We worked in the yard all day today! See the pictures for the end results.

Brad brought the rocks that were left in the backyard up to the front and put them around our flower beds. I pulled all the weeds from the flower beds (ugh) and planted some new flowers and shrubs. Then we put down some mulch. I hope we can keep them alive, at least for a while.

I also went to Hobby Lobby this morning and got a new wreath for the front door and garland swag for the foyer. Both are very spring-like with bright colorful flowers.

In the kitchen, we finally got a new toaster oven in stainless steel so our counter top appliances match. We are going to donate the old white one, unless someone wants it - let me know.
I also bought a cute table top decoration for the kitchen table.
