Projects, projects, and more projects!

I have a ton of projects lately! I think my mind goes 24/7 and I have to try my best to keep up with my to do list!

We needed beds for the boys who have been sleeping on the floor for a while. I just didn't want to pay a fortune for them. So I started researching, and decided to turn these shelves into beds!

How?! you may ask:) Cut them into 2 long pieves, and 2 short pieces, add a few braces, spray paint and plywood and voila!



It's great because it is storage for the boys and it gets them off the floor! I still have to do a final coat of black paint on the plywood and cubbies but it's good for now! I painted thier wall grey and added a few wall items and it is finally feeling more like a room:)

I don't know if I ever posted pictures of Sadies room but I finally finished that too!



I put up a brag board that has quickly become overloaded!

I refinished my moms old sewing table. It went from this-

To this! I put a piece of plywood that I had on hand on top to cover the hole made for her sewing machine and painted it black with paint that I already had! Like a whole new desk for free!

I also made a gift wrap station. I figured with the holidays and boys birthdays coming up, I better get organized!! I bought curtain rods that I have to put on it for the wrapping paper. Hopefully Ill get that done soon!;)

Our most current project is the fireplace....we are still working on this one but I am taking pictures along the way and can't wait for the big ta da!

Field trip to the capital!

I was FINALLY able to chaperon one of Gages field trips:) We went to the Georgia State Capital. I had never been and have lived here since 1993 so I guess I was overdue to check it out! Here he is with his classmates in the house chamber.


Checkin out the desk....


Lookie lookie, these guys are really "working hard" here! ;)


Class photo with a representative, Oy vey for the pink shirts! Their class voted on that color....

Gage wanted his picture in front of everything.

He flipped out when he saw the gold!

He also loved the rocks....


Gage and his friends Kaylin and Lana!

It was a fun day and I am so glad I got to enjoy the day with him!

Moms wedding

A few weeks ago we flew out to Utah for my moms wedding. The airplane ride there was eventful-Ethan had a fever and threw-up in between flights! Poor thing wasn't feeling better so we had to take him to the doctor, turns out he had an ear infection:( This put a damper in our trip to Temple Square so I hope we can go back! All my siblings except Jim were there, including 7 nieces and nephews plus my 3! It was a packed house but everyone really got along well:)Our 3rd day there, it decided to snow on us! Kids absolutely loved it!
So did the adults!

Notice how Gage is looking up to catch a snowball (the distraction snowball)-notice the other snowball Eric threw twirling right toward his head! (the one intended for him!) Sneaky Uncle Eric!
