Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day - it is my favorite "little" holiday. I mean, Christmas takes the cake, but St. Patrick's Day is so much fun. Especially as a mom. :)
Well, I realized this afternoon that Abby and I needed something to wear tomorrow, so I headed out to our thrift store to look around. I got some good finds for tomorrow, but I also found this awesome globe and had to get it. I love it.
I love it because it's old. I mean, not too old (well, I don't actually know when it was made) The boarders seem to be overall accurate and such. I love that it's not made of plastic like most globes are now - the whole thing is tin. It has a few dents in it even, but somehow that just adds to the character. I love that the bottom plate has random country flags on it. I love that it is so detailed and gives lots of information. Maybe this is where I should admit that I was a little obsessed with maps and globes as a kid. As was Kyle. To this day - nobody in his family will play his beloved game "Geografacts" with him. His geography knowledge is annoyingly sharp. Me? I just like maps.
I love how it fits in with her play area
She was saying "it's weally cold!"
We had a fun time this afternoon playing with the globe and talking about it. I know she doesn't "get" it, but she can show me where Australia is if I ask her now. "It's da pink one, mama!"
We spent some more time playing with her other toys too - and she humored me and modeled another thrift find today - a new Sox hat...St. Patrick's edition. ;)

Just wanted to document our first globe and some fun pics. I hope this is the first of many happy map experiences for her. :)
