Sunday Funday!

Yesterday I got to do something I’ve waited a long time to do! Since I was 20 weeks pregnant and the ultrasound tech said it’s a girl!

Layla and I went and got Mani’s and Pedi’s!!!

Ha! She looks a little frighten here!

Being Silly!

It was a lot of fun! She was so good and sat so still! (Something she never does for me when I paint her nails!) Afterwards she said it was so much fun! Daddy wasn’t too happy that she picked out red for her hands but it was a special treat so I let it slide.

And on a different note, I have perfected the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie:

Bad cell picture, but oh so good!

Weekend!

After a 4 day weekend last weekend 2 days doesn’t seem like enough. Tonight we have plans for dinner out and a stop by Home Depot for primer for the playroom. Extremely dark paneling you are about to get prettied! And I am so excited to get that room put back together! Not sure if you read Our Fifth House, but Carmel posted yesterday about a Kitchen in a Closet. Basically she put her daughters play kitchen in a closet and made it look awesome!  I might have to steal this idea, although the playroom closet is nothing like theirs, I think taking the door off and a sunny paint color would be exactly what it needs!

Saturday we are attacking above mentioned playroom! Saturday night we have friends coming over. And Sunday… Gosh I don’t know! I would love to go pick up my free armoire from my Mom so I can start painting it but we will see!

Have a wonderful weekend!! Were supposed to have a storm roll in tonight! Hoping I wake up to this:

Snowy Spokane! Riverfront Park

Painting Sidekick

Whenever I am painting (or doing anything) this little big sweet Dog is always right by my side! Elmer Douglas is going to be 10 this summer!!! I can’t believe it! When I was 19 I moved into a rented house with a bunch of friends and decided I needed a dog. I was at a Money Tree with a friend talking about it and the teller said, “I have a dog that I need to get rid of”… FATE! He was just a puppy and her older lab was being mean to him. She said he is Bulldog & Jack Russell Terrier… WHAT?! Thinking he would be small and stocky we went to go look at him and instantly fell in love! 75 pounds later, we realized he is an American Bulldog/J.R. Terrier!

One of the best decisions I ever made was to take this guy home!

Tuesday!

I am all alone in the office today, so this will be short and sweet! I had a wonderful 4 day weekend! Layla and I had a long visit with her favorite (& only) Uncle Eddie, Ben and I watched movies, a Ladies night Saturday, sleeping in on Sunday, finished the stairs on the Chevron wall, a big nap and some shopping!  

Some positive words I added to our chalkboard wall yesterday:

Have a fab Tuesday!!!

Hello Thursday Night!

Mix Mash

Hola! Throwing a post together today. I am insanely busy at work! My co worker recently left our bank so our tiny 3 person Credit Card Dept. is now even smaller and tiny-er with just me and my Boss. Anyone want to work in a bank?? Lol, but seriously anyone in Eastern WA?

Ben and his buddy at work were having a beard growing contest. Well his co worker caved and shaved (ha that rhymed) last weekend but Ben hasn’t. I took this trying out a Retro Camera App I downloaded so you can’t really see the hugeness of it but it’s large! I know a lot of women who are anti beard but I really like it. Just maybe a little shorter and trimmed up.

When we ran to Home Depot for Caterpillar Green paint, Layla noticed the orange gates at the end of each row they have to block the rows off. Anyways so were looking at light fixtures and she’s playing with one then we start walking to somewhere else and she runs in front of me to play with another one trips over my shoes and falls face first into the damn gate.

Lots of blood and a fat lip later! Poor Kiddo! She’s totally fine now and by Monday she was excited to get to school and show it off.

And here's Layla's Valentines we made! Melted crayons:

I’m off tomorrow and Monday for Presidents day! Have a fabulous weekend!

Love Day!
