Afters

Finally, here are the before and afters of our bathroom.  I realize I didn't really get any good shots of the floor but it's hard to take a picture when you are smashing yourself against a wall so you won't be in the picture :).

Here are the before pictures

The bathroom was fine before until. . .

Take Pergo floors mix a sweaty toilet and kids who like to flood the sink and here is what you get.

So we stripped everything.

and moved out to my dad's for 10 days

because this is part of the mess while work was being done.

Here is the finished product

Well mostly finished, we still need to pick out a mirror and a hand towel hook or bar or ?

                                     Before                                                                                                           

 

After

My Beloved has also been working on our front yard.

Right after I took this we bought a new front porch light but I'll save that for the pictures of the finished entry since we aren't quite there yet.

Nine Months

We have had a busy couple of months so I am a bit behind on these updates.

Funny thing happened, I missed his seven month pictures and when I went to take his eight month pictures well . . .

That's right I used the blocks for seven instead of eight.

Seriously mom!

Valentine's Day

 Monday I asked the girls what they wanted to do for Valentine's Day, they said they wanted a party. So we threw together a quick little party.

Pinterest and I came up with two easy-to-do-supplies-on-hand craft projects. We made bookmarks from glittery foam hearts and craft sticks and also created hand-print Valentine's which we painted with secret messages using white crayons and water paints.

 

I decided we needed an extreme sugar high. So I made cupcakes which I ended up frosting with melted chocolate because I ran out of time, energy and the will to create. I also dipped marshmallows and the girls covered them in sprinkles, and cut rice crispys into heart shapes with a cookie cutter. Conversation hearts were a must along with heart shaped straws for our Lemonade and Limeade.

Five Months

Hard to believe our rolling, spinning, raspberry lovin', silly, billy of a boy is five months old. He has brought so many blessings to our lives.

With his smiles, he has managed to wrap his big sister so tight around his little finger I'm surprised it's still attached. I'm wrapped pretty tight myself :).

Running man.

Spitting, lots of spitting goes on at our house, these days.

Starting to look like a little man.

I finally got up the courage to give him his first haircut.

After

We broke out the jumpy horse.

He will NEVER be alone.

I love these days with my little family. Cherishing these times.

Growing, Growing, Growing

 My sweet little Bean is three months old today. By the time I was able to take his picture he was pretty tired but I took it anyway.

And for comparison. . .
