Hallway

When we looked at the house before moving, I was wondering if I would find a place for my white bench-the living room is pretty small. This is by far my favoritest :) Goodwill find. That and my pie safe. It's a tough call...

As the guys were unloading they moved it right to the area in the hallway. It fit perfectly and thus, it found it's new home. 

It wasn't very easy getting a picture of this area. I may or may not have ended up standing in the bathtub to fit it all in. This is one reason I do not like prime lenses.

My sister bought me the sign for Christmas (Homegoods) and then I decorated around the colors in it. Love clearance at Hobby Lobby!! Unfortunately, the closest one is now 1 hr 15 mins away. Guess that helps the pocketbook out. 

And Wes has been hard at working doing this:

Excuse the mess. Open cabinets means new toys for Weston.

A Boy and His Dog

This little guy is attached to his dog!!

It has been washed several times, but still has a certain aroma to it.

Debbie tried to bribe him with a new one.

He likes the new one, but not enough to give up his old one. 

Sunday

I tried to get a picture of the kiddos for Momo on Sunday, but that's just about next to impossible. Arilynn has been wanting to lay down in front of the fireplace and pose herself. She was trying to show Weston what to do:

I think he just found her amusing.

Tried to have another go at it, but Weston thinks I'm trying to kill him for wanting a picture. (Guess I'm getting a bit of my own medicine). He kept running to "Da!!", so finally Wes got down with them. Fairly certain I have the cutest kiddos!!! Oh, and Wes is pretty cute, too.

News

We've been painting, painting, and painting. 

And, now you know the rest of the story...good day! ;)

Random Recap

This is just a quick post to give a few details about what's been happening here:

I finished my project. I was going to wait until I could show you the entire room, but I'm having trouble with a corner. It's not coming together at all. I think I may have it started now, but we'll just have to see. 

If you look closely to the left, you can see our kitchen wallpaper. Isn't it beeeeautiful? 

Last Thursday, the teen girls from Sunday School came over and we made cards. I think they had fun...I did. Friday night, some came over from church and we played games. Most were snowed in. We had a great time! We love the people here. 

We had some snow over the weekend, so Arilynn had fun with dad.

Lamp Redo

Have you seen all the neat lamps out there? Hobby Lobby has some super cool ones...like drool over them cool. Well, you know what I mean. :) However, as much as I'd love to support them right now, the closest one is a hour and something away, plus it's not in the budget. So, a hunting I went...

We popped into the GW and lo and behold they had this beauty eye catcher. It was in my price range and so home it went.

I was so excited I forget to even check to see if it worked before I went to all the trouble. HA! Nothing a little spray paint and rope (Walmart) won't cure. And, it works, btw. 

You can see a sneak peak of the material project.
