Bathroom Remodel - Before

We have decided to finally redo the kid's bathroom. The before picture makes it look so much better than it actually was! It was livable, but we wanted a change. I can't wait to have after pictures to share...hopefully by this weekend. My sweet husband has spent hours pulling up the vinyl square tiles and re-texturing the walls. He has also built the cabinet doors. He is so handy, I can't imagine that we would ever do this if he wasn't able to do most of it himself! I also had a couple of little helpers that wanted to paint. I think we ended up with more paint on the floor than on the wall. So fun! I spent the day yesterday painting the ceiling and walls. I had forgotten how much I don't like manual labor.

Some Days are Like That!

I think this picture just sums it up! I am not quite sure how one goes about putting their shorts on UPSIDE DOWN, but apparently it works!!! Poor thing, he never even noticed that something wrong. I do love watching the milestones as they become more and more independent.

A Visit To The Farm

The kids and I went out to my sister's house today (they live about 15 minutes away). Lauren and Braden LOVE going out there because they get to play with their cousins and see all kinds of animals that we don't have here in the big city! (I mean, what can get better than that??) They have a new puppy and a new baby goat along with the usual goats, chickens, and dog.

Braden became a little obsessed with feeding alfalfa to the chickens! It took me quite awhile to convince him to go inside and eat lunch.

We were sent home with a huge jug of goat milk! Landon has had mild cow milk allergies since birth, so now that he is ready for "big boy" milk, we are going to try goat milk. We will see how it goes! His big brother made me promise that I will never ever try to give him any. Hehe, just give me time.

They had a blast, but I have to say I am just worn out! All that farm life takes it out of me. Now, I think it's time for me to join the kids in a nap!

I guess I will Blog!

First of all, I hate to write. Hate it! However, I am so impressed with friends' blogs that I just REALLY REALLY want to do it. This is not my first attempt. I think I have been trying to set up my own blog for about 3 years. I would always get stuck on something like "create your template" and give up (seriously). This was combined with the world's slowest internet service. Now that we have super fast internet and more motivation we will see how it goes. My main purpose for this blog is to create a record/journal for my kids, so there will be a lot of mindless, mundane, uninspired entries...hence the blog title. I am sure it will also closely resemble some of the above mentioned friends' blog sites. This is only because I have no idea how to come up with one myself. So, just keep in mind that imitation is the greatest form of flattery! I hope to update daily(haha!) Mostly, I just don't want to miss the "dailies" here.
