The house. Remember that whole 'painting trim talk' I had and how I almost threw in the towel? Well, I am so glad I didn't. I painted the entire wood paneled wall in our living room, as well as the rest of the trim, a bright white. It turned out great and we love it! Here's what I am talking about in the living room.....
So much better! And brighter! Here is the before.....
Here is a tip I found out while on my 'lets paint all the trim white' quest. I spray all the trim and wood paneling with a vinegar-water solution, then scrub it down with some rags. And always, always use oil-based primer before the paint.
The kiddies!! We had a few birthday's during my backseat blog days, I mean months. ;) It is amazing how fast they grow. I know everyone says that but when you witness your daughters get sick of the beloved dollhouse... Yikes! Never, ever thought I would witness it! It left our house (was put in the shed-almost given away) for about six months, and then all of a sudden my little seven year old asked if she could play with it. I was never so happy to get that huge house and about a million accessories out of the shed. It's just so hard watching them grow up!
The eldest was in softball this summer and loved it!
Would live on her bike if I allowed it.
The biggest helper a mommy could ask for! Really!
Watches little brother like a hawk.
Asked me, "How many children should I have when I grow up?" Made mommy laugh...and cry.
The middle got glasses!
Loves to sit and read for hours.
Just recently turned into a girl version of Mello (our dog), asked if we could call her Mella!
So pumped to be a big second grader.
Took art classes for a month, and is now teaching us what cool and warm colors are.
The baby (well, only to his momma) lives in the dirt!
Can name every construction machine on earth.
Will checkout the same John Deere movie from the library every visit.
Won't let anyone kiss him. Sad but true. :(((
Says, "Mommy I starvin'", every half hour.
Have a great day!!!
