sleepy saturday

i was up BEFORE the kids,

go figure... i hate when that happens.

went to target last night (home away from home)

got these cute tins ($2.50/ea) for the boys plants, & some soil ($5).

& i made their garden a cute sign..

folded about 7 loads of laundry last night, & cleaned the laundry room.

i found a new craft i want to do, involving mirrors so i will keep you guys posted,

the kids & i are going on a picnic today with my parents & sisters, & i am so excited!

i hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

free friday & ruined paint brushes

t.g.i.f?

as a parent & wife, that doesn't mean much to me anymore,

my days run into more days, which run into more laundry & three crazy kids spilling cup after cup of juice..

BUT! today they are going to paint, got a few old shirts of my husbands, & some new paint brushed for them.. going to let them go at it & see what their creative minds come up with.

just now, as i was typing my sons (Mason) came up to me with his hands behind his back (NEVER a good sign) he shows me MY new paint brushes, ruined... looks like we will be making a trip to the crafts store..

i need to buy primer anyway.

i hope everyone has a great weekend, & enjoys SUPERBOWL,

even tho my Patriots didn't make it, i will still watch...

J-a-d-e-n

taa-daa!!!

j-a-d-e-n

one of my girlfriends saw the "M's" i did for my sons

& loved them..

so, tonight i went & bought the letters for her sons name

Jaden.

did my 1st & 2nd coat, & tomorrow i will start the decorating,

not too much, its for a BOY, but i have a surprise for the letters..

this craft is SO easy & the more i do, the more colors i get, so my collection is growing, id love to do this for more people, so i hope others will see my work & want me to do something for them.

calling it a night, hope everyone had a GREAT thursday!!!

Lemon-Raspberry Muffins

rambling & rambling..

Today's To-Do-List just doesn't seem exciting today..

We were supposed to transfer our plants, BUT the weather is going to stop us.

PLAN B- let the boys paint!

I catch myself getting SUPER side-tracked this week,

even with my list in front of me...

I still have a few paint touch-ups to do in the kids room.

I am looking for some tips/ideas on room decor for them,

we are going towards a Dodgers theme or Pirate theme, I want to find an anchor (not super HUGE & HEAVY) but big enough that I can paint & add knobs (towel hanger) and stick it on a wall in their room..

Looks like i just Vetoed the Dodgers theme...

Any color suggestions?

Their room is a nice blue, with white trim..

FRIDAY we do a craft..

Hope everyone is READY!
