found me a treasure!

Well, I was excited about my $1.50 treasure I found lastnight....Paul gave me the Eye Roll....
that didn't stop me though! I  proudly brought this beauty home and began ripping the poor Christmas tree to pieces! Only 2 bloody fingers later and I had my self this LOVELY plate of eye candy! I already have a million ideas for hair flowers and necklaces running through my mind!
There are still quite a few to pull off, but I had to give my fingers a rest!

yes, i am a nerd. :)

bubbles!

Do you remember being 3 years old and loving bubbles?
This little pipsqueak LOVES her some bubbles on a BEAUTIFUL spring day!:)

Happy Spring!

the highchair

This is my most FAVORITE highchair ever! Okay, I know it's old, dirty, and a bit tattered, but that is only because my 4 little munchkins have each left there marks on it. Believe it or not it once was a crisp clean white color! Paul found this chair the first year we were married. Guess where????  YUP - the DI!:) It was old and brown, but when he showed it to me I fell madly in LOVE with it! We didn't have any babies then, but I just knew someday that sweet little chair would seat a cute little bum... I HAD to have it!
I sanded it, painted it, and it sat proudly in our little rental home longing for a special little one to sit in it! Okay, maybe I was the one longing...
I never would have thought I'd see the day when my LAST baby would sit in it {sigh}...
So now it's little Sam's turn to leave his mark on this once beautiful chair...who says dried banana's aren't beautiful??? (Have you ever tried to scrape dried smooshed bananas off of a wooden highchair? NOT EASY.

Even when my babies are all grown up and moved out, you just might find my highchair still in my kitchen...dried bananas and all!

Anyone want to meet my cradle?:)

little man

I can't believe how fast time flies!!!! I swear I just took this little man's newborn pictures....has it REALLY been 6 months? I get to play with him and his sweet mama again today because he was NOT a fan of the cold weather!:)

gone missing....

It seems I have been missing from the blogging world this past week! Our internet connection has been on and off and ridiculously SLOOOW...so good old Paul called and complained and they FINALLY fixed the problem!
What a week! My littlest monster has learned how to crawl, and is into EVERYTHING, he has finally broken teeth through those swollen gums (3 little chompers to be exact)...he has learned the word "totos" which means CHEETOS!:) Oh, and we can't forget about his first taste of POOP! Yup! He got into his poopy diaper and was eating it! SICK!!!! I was trying not to vomit myself! Emily started dry heaving so she ran into the bathroom and slammed the door until it was all cleaned up! That girl has the weakest stomach ever! Gotta love your kids!:)
Anyway, here are a few little projects I have done this week!
I found this pillow on clearance at Target and whipped up a few felt flowers to pin onto it to add a girly touch! This adorable butterfly pillow is part of the new line at Target! This was the last one (for right now) and it had a few little snags so I asked if I could get a discount and the lady gave it to me for half off!!! I got home and fixed the snags with my scissors and TA-DA... good as new! Hey, It never hurts to ask!

This is a rod iron frame thing that I found at the DI (thrift store) that I loved just the way it was, so all I had to do was add a scrap of fabric to it! It makes my family room happy!:)
