Home Depot Kids Workshop...

Saturday morning Jamie and I took the kids to the Home Depot Kids Workshop. It was the first time I've taken them there and they loved it. They made tool boxes and loved how they turned out. They also loved their new aprons and the pin they got for completing the project.

Lucky for them they were giving out free popcorn inside the store. After we left of course we headed to Seven Peaks (as if you can't tell by the way they are dressed!)

View From Our Bed...

We had some enlargements from our family photo shoot in November done for Steve and I's bedroom. We had them done in b&w so they would be more timeless (I plan on keeping them forever)... I absolutely love love love them! This is the view if you are laying on our bed. Here are some closeups of each one (note: they are pictures of pictures and the lighting wasn't great so the quality isn't the best)...

Seriously... can you say Gap model!?!

Not sure why the inside edge of the frame is reflecting copper... it's really a brushed silver.

So precious... doesn't she look like a little porcelain doll?

This is what I saw in the mirror as I was headed out of the room and thought it was pretty cool, so I took a picture :)

P.S. We are trying to decide what color to paint our bedroom... any ideas?

"Christmas" & Saturday Projects...

Those of you that know Steve very well know that he is always busy doing something. Here are some of the things that he's been doing(most as a result of my "honey do" list) the last few Saturdays.

Steve and our friend Dan putting up the Christmas lights a few weeks ago. I was so glad Dan was here this year so I didn't have to be out in the freezing cold helping. I love the picture of Maddy, of course he had to be in on the action. Doesn't he look so cute all bundled up!

A couple weeks ago Steve and Dan built these shelves along the top of our garage ceiling. Although I didn't enjoy all the drilling and loud banging noises into the wee hours of the early morning(while I was trying to sleep), I think they did a pretty good job. I think it makes the garage look a lot cleaner and organized.

This past Saturday we put up our Christmas tree. Maddy was really excited once we got it up and has to have the lights on all day. Avery also had to explore the new tree and pulled one of the red balls off the tree and dropped it on the tile and of course it broke. She then decided to try and eat it(this girl will try and eat anything that shouldn't be eaten but for the life of me I can't get her to eat regular food) and got a little cut on her lip. Needless to say she hasn't had much interest in the tree since. I have been talking to Maddy about Christmas(I don't think he quite gets it yet.) He thinks Santa Claus's name is "Christmas" and a couple days ago someone knocked on our door and he said "Mommy, who is here? Is it Christmas?" I just cracked up laughing and tried to explain to him that Christmas is a day not a person. Then last night we were watching "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and when Santa came on the TV he said "There is Christmas." If you notice in the picture Maddy is watching "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." We have been watching a lot of that lately. Also he decided to only get half dressed for the day. He is still wearing his pajama bottoms. Such a funny kid.
