Little Finds

I am so excited about these little items I found over the weekend.  I was browsing through the dollar store and look what I found.

I found these little guys to watch over us in the evening!! They are just darling.  Of course they were only, you guessed it $1.00. 

I love fall and Halloween.  Happy first week of Fall to everyone!!!  The holidays are approaching fast.  Time to start Christmas shopping.

Pink stool for Princess!

OK here is the latest little project that I did for Addies room.  It was a small "steppy stool" that had a ugly deer head on the top. I took some thick wrapping paper and modge podeged to the top.  Did a little sanding and presto!!  It is just the right height for Addison and it looks so cute in her room.  What will the next project be!

So here is the new chest I got from my wonderful neighbor, see her blog at http://myownbadhabit.blogspot.com/.  She does such a good job. (still learning to blog so excuse my sloppiness) anyway.... back to princess.  I love this chest.  I am slowly getting into the swing of decorating........

My Princess......

In case anyone didn't already know, my baby girl is the apple of my eye.  She is just about the cutest thing.  Of course I am alittle partial since she is my daughter!!!  I am slowly fixing up her room.  I have chosen brown and pink, go figure!!  I am taking baby steps in fixing it up and it has just been crazy at my house so haven't really had time to work on it.  We did a bathroom remodal over the summer and finally fininshed that.  When we do the add-on to the house I think I will probably go crazy!! I didn't realize there was so many decisions to make!!  Well know I am working on a easier project.  Addisons room.

Kids!!

The weekend was great. The weather was beautiful and I got some stuff done. Went through my cabinet of "everything" or the "catch all" cabinet if you will. All is cleaned up and organized. Went to moms for the day on Sunday. Played outside with the kids all day. My sister went with us as well. I think the kiddos were pretty tire last night. It is always hard after a weekend of fun outside to get back in the swing of things and have to show up for work Monday morning. I was really draggin!!! I just had so much fun with my kids this weekend, wish I could win the lottery or something so I could stay home with them!!! They truly are my world.

Inspired!

OK so I started following a new blog Just a girl. Love it, love it, love it!! She inspires me to be better. I spend so much time cleaning after three kids that I have to get more organized and my life would be a lot more simpler!! I hope! I am going to work really hard on some projects this weekend and try to wipe "the mess" out of my life. With two boys this will be quite the challenge, wish me luck!!

Vacation

We recently went on a family vacation to the Grand Canyon. We had so much fun. My boys were in heaven. Addie didn't get to go with us this trip, she is still kinda little. We did some hiking and did a visit to a wolf sanctuary. That was really cool!! We hiked El Morro in Ramah, New Mexico with the boys. Just enough hiking to wear them out.

We then went to Flagstaff, Arizonia and stayed the night in town. What a beautiful place. I could move there in a heartbeat. Going there and then having to come home to Oklahoma, what a flat state we live in, boring!!! Anyway the Grand Canyon was beautiful. Alot to take in. Steve was really close on the edge a few times and I just could not look. He scared the crap out of me. The boys stayed by mom, so I was OK with that.

We stayed with Steve's sister who lived in Ramah, New Mexico. What a beautiful house she lived in. The mornings on the deck were wonderful. We could not of asked for better weather!!! Alot of critters running around at night.

For the most part we had a great trip. There was alittle cafe in the small town of Ramah called the Stagecoach Cafe. Can you believe this, it is owned by a lady from Oklahoma. Small world. The food was homestyle cookin!! Chicken fried steak with gravy!!! Delicious!!
