A busy day of cuteness!!!

Sophie and I were busy today getting some crafts and things done for the house. I am not sure what has gotten in to me lately. I do NOT craft. Hormones? I traded in some points I had to get Sophie some new bedding. She calls it her grown up girl bedding. So to do some design on a dime I got a canvas like I did for the bathroom, used some things we had and repainted some things. This is a work in progress but here is what we did today. I still need to finish the hair bow holder and tomorrow her dad is painting her desk brown and I am hunting for a yellow chair cover. Then I will tie a big bow to come out the back. I need an idea of how to cover that light on her wall. She really wants to keep it but it is so ugly. Anyone?

This is Lulu's side. Still need a wood frame around the blessing dress. Someday I will put it in a shadow box. And I need to paint the diaper basket.

Best $3.48 I have ever spent!!

This kept them going for hours today. It's the coolest chalk and it comes with the glasses. Even I had fun!!

Today's project...the kids bathroom!!!

I literally woke up today and decided I was going to do the kids bathroom. So my brain got going a little and I did this. It will be going a little higher on the wall, I just wanted to test it out and the kids were asleep. No hammering. I also got a new brown shower curtain that I could not get in the pic. What do you think?
And yes, I made it. Shocking, I know!!

The things I can teach you from Kindergarten!

Duh, Mom!

Henry~Oh NOOOO, Mom. We forgot to go ride a horse today.
Me~ Were we suppose to ride a horse today?
Henry~YES!
Me~Hmmm, ok I didn't know that. Maybe another time.
Henry~Well if you bought me a cowboy costume I would need to ride a horse. Don't you know that?
Me~I didn't know that.
Henry~Why I gotta tell you these things.

Running Mom!!

I am not a runner anymore. I am a running mom. I have to jump off the treadmill or stop the stroller for binkies, bottles, break up fight and so on...
It's exhausting. Why am I not skinny just from all that. In all of it I think I got a stress fracture in my foot from my run last night. I blame it all on the kids. With how many times I jumped off the treadmill It had to be their fault, right?
So why am I doing this? It is just one more thing to ad to my list. I am shamefully slow and feel like I am dead after. I just keep telling myself, even if I don't get skinny, I have a healthy heart and it's good for my kids to see. Right?
I.WILL.KEEP.GOING.

More projects...

We had 2 night stands from when we got married that were not being used for much. I decided to redo them and use them in the house. I took one from Henry's room. I wanted a vintage, distressed look. I love how it came out.

Before...


after..






I have one more to go. I am doing another one for the living room.
Now this is the girls room before. I need some jazz in here, on a budget. I would love any ideas.





And I saw this on another blog and loved the idea. It asked what your favorite place in the house was right now. I know mine changes but the living room is mine right now.





What's your?

My Sunday project!!!

Sam's project for the weekend was not much fun. I walked into the laundry room to find the washer across the room. Apparently it was not feeling well. But thanks to my ever so smart husband he researched took it apart and fixed it himself. Twice. ;)

This was a lot of work. Next time I think I am buying them, but this set was made with my sweat, tears(not really) and love.

Flannel board stories!!!

We needed something to spice up our FHE lessons. Not bad for doing the coloring myself, huh?

Now this week I am tackling the painting and refinishing of furniture. Prayer are much appreciated. ;)

YAY for babies and baby showers!!!

We had a baby shower today for my friend Megan. I love baby showers! My friend Nichole(who did my shower) and I worked on this together. I am sure she was mortified at some of my attempts to pull it off. HA HA! She is the party girl and I tried, really I did. LOL
It was a fun day and thanks to Nichole, we pulled it off.
