BLAIR...

Every now and then I get a really great shot, by accident, of the kids. A few days ago Blair and Rhett were playing peek -a -boo on our bed and I got this cute shot of Blair. I am going to put in a 16 by 20 black and white and it in her room. Just had to share!

Lovely Letters...

A few productive things went on today aside from the normal laundry, cleaning and running with the kids. I hung the oh so cute letters I picked up from Hobby Lobby and cooked a turkey, all by 12:00 this morning. I am going to give Jennie-O a shameless plug. They really have a fabulous ready to cook turkey. It comes in it's own ready cook bag, pop it in the oven and in about an hour and a half you have a perfect lil turkey. Such a great flavor, too. So this evening was turkey wraps with strawberry and spinach salad. Let me tell ya I am so far from Betty Crocker. This was my kind of meal. After dinner was our usual walk down at the River. We hadn't been in a few weeks, things have just been busy. We all needed it equally as bad, to be out in the air strolling along.

Just a little funny. I got one strip of backsplash cut today. Some how that is all that nap time allowed! Ha!

Come Together...

So today I ran all around town, well in between naps and feedings, to get the rest of the panels for my much anticipated backsplash project. Anticipated by me, anyway. Stopping also by Hobby Lobby, that I have not been into in forever, looking for a few finishing accessory pieces. My oh so sweet Grandma is going to fix up the new curtains and we will be well on our way to a finish up on the kitchen. I have had the kitchen the same style for about 3 years now, wow I think that may be a record. So it was definitely time for a change. Not to mention finally doing the backsplash. So by next weekend I think I will be able to do the pre-remodel pics and the as finished as I am going to get while living in this house pics. If I thought I would live here for even 5 more years I think I would tear out the old cabinets and opt for some new. Alas that is not the plan. Although plans change. For now though, this is the overhaul. See you soon.

Beautiful Bedroom...

Just a pretty I found on http://www.pointclickhome.com/

Add It To The List

So yesterday evening, after not having the kids take a nap, we had taken an evening drive and came home to the air conditioning not working. Great! So cranky, hot children we gathered into the car and off the the in-laws to spend the night. Luckily, Josh had a friend of a friend who came out first thing this morning, and put us in a whole new unit. Thank you stimulus check! On the positive side now when we go to sell, we can add that to our repertoire of new things on the house. So tonight we are sleeping cool and comfortable.

City View....

A downtown view I got while playing with the kids at the Park! So pretty!

4th of July "Honey I'm Going To Do"

Today my in-laws stopped by and picked up my oldest son right before nap time. So that means while the twins nap I can start on my backsplash. I only really had time to do behind the stove area. So here is a bit of a peek of our new backsplash that is going in, and some of our color scheme. It will take me a few more weeks of nap time and bed time working on it before it is finished. It is coming along though. Yea! The stove is my last stainless steel appliance I need to purchase. And that will be complete also. Happy 4th!
