Grey and white and winter all around

So I think we're all mostly recovered this week.  Bob went back to work, and Cecily has cheered up a little bit.  We walked past the discount flowers at the grocery store and she said "oooooh" and pointed at them so I got them for her...  poor girl has been sick and/ or teething for three weeks, and she loves flowers.  hehe.  And lets be honest, I do too.  


Grandma taught her how to use her oven mitt- hopefully she doesn't try it in the real oven.

Little miss and I met Lena and Shelly for lunch today at Chick-fil-A.  It was my first time there and I really, really liked it.  The food was good, but the service/ atmosphere was even better!  I loved the clean highchairs with the table mats for kids and a wet wipe- so nice!  And I got her a kids meal (that she barely touched because there were so many distractions... and french fries to eat... oh well) that came with a Franklin book.  So much better than a plastic toy.  We all went to the mall after lunch because I needed to exchange something and we left with lots of shoes.  Hehe.  Little miss had a great time wandering between racks and dancing to the background music.  

Then I went to target for wedding presents and came home with this mirror.  I think it's about the right size for above the mantel, but I'm not sure if white is the right color.  Advice anyone? Di?  If I painted it I could fix the small nick in the frame (I'm so proud of myself- I asked for a discount and they gave me one!  I'm not sure it makes me frugal though... this definitely was not a need...).       

Oh, and on the way home from shopping I stopped for a pick-me-up.  Somebody please remind me next time that medium means huge in fast food speak...  Anyway, little miss really wanted a drink so I let her have the last of the melty watery Dr. Pepper.  She was quite pleased with herself.


Blessings.

I'm not sure I'm qualified to give advice, but I would say the white looks the best. Black or a beige might be ok, but I think white looks best with the brick. You can still repaint it though to cover up the scratch.. ;)

Thanks! I think you qualify, your house is adorable! :) Hm... maybe if I ever get around to painting the wall I want to be tannish, I'll paint the mirror to match...

I like the mirror and agree with Katie that white would look better. Every time I get up the nerve to ask for a discount they will never do it.
