Ok...so this post is going to be somewhat random and knowing me it will probably be lengthy too....I have so many things to catch up on around this house and with my blog and my blogging buddies. I am sorry that I STILL have not got around to commenting much...but hopefully I will get to soon...maybe this evening...maybe by the end of the week.
What have we got going on right now? WHEW!!!
- In the process of getting a fence built around our back yard...and I am beginning to wonder if that is going to happen. Hopefully, we will hear today or tomorrow what day they are coming out to start the construction of the fence. I am so ready to have the fence up!
- Shane is still putting the new swingset together...that had like 500 pieces and 99 steps in the instruction booklet
- In the middle still of redoing the girls room...have made a good start on it....but still have a little way to go....of course more pictures later when I am finished. BTW, this is a totally different bedding than what I showed you a few months ago...we went a different direction with the decorating.
- Previously, as you can see, the room was themed in ladybugs...red, white and black...so these are some pictures from now and in the middle of changing things out....the red is going and going to change the colors up to pinks, purple, teal, pale yellow, and lavender....when I get it all finished I will post the final product! :)
- Have finally cleaned out and purged a bunch of clothes and shoes in various closets around the house. Feel good about that....and glad I am DONE!!!
- Parker is walking and a busy little boy....which in turn makes Mama a busy Mama! Nuff said! :)
- Had a great birthday on Friday the 13th....no bad luck here...just a nice evening celebrating with my family. Thank you to all who sent cards and well wishes. It was so nice to have so many people thinking of me! :) Sweet Amy sent me the coolest card....so nice of her to think of me! I try to keep birthdays low key because I like the idea of stopping at 29 and not celebrating after that...LOL....but THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone that wished me a Happy Birthday! You all are too sweet!
- Have recently gotten several new scrapping items and I can't wait to use them all. I need some help though from all you die hard scrappers. I have PLENTY of supplies, have pretty cool ideas, love to scrapbook and alter things...no problems there...but how do you do it? I always have such good intentions, but never seem to get any work done....and I just keep COLLECTING supplies and cool stuff....BUT???? Help me out and give me some suggestions....I thought about making a monthly calendar and identifying specific days to work on specific things...but not sure it that is practical?? I just want to be productive and get some pages done....but just can't seem to get it all together! I'll share more pictures of this in a later post.
- These little babies are so cool and were so cheap at Michael's...thanks to Telah and Leah for giving me the head's up on these!
- Have two birthdays coming up in the next few weeks...and I am trying to plan for those. Mallory will be seven and Parker will be ONE! Doesn't seem possible! Makes me kind of sad that my little man is growing up so fast....well for that matter, all of them are....and I don't like it at all! They are supposed to stay babies forever....aren't they? :)
- and lastly, I am going to work on tidying up my blog a little and giving it a facelift...I need to update pictures and change some things around....obviously, I have not done a good job at taking a photo a day....so I am going to change that around too....so check back and take a look over the next little bit and let me know what you think about the changes.
That's enough for now...more later! Have a great rest of the evening!
