Day 38: Before & After (7/2)

We have a free standing pantry that we have painted this color green. The twins sit up aginst that wall and I pulled away the bench and it was so dirty. I think because it was painted tan it was really easy to see. So I suggested to Rennie what if I painted this navy (that's another color we have in the laundry room) and he said, "Why not that green on the pantry. It would pull at the two areas together." I thought what a good idea. So I did. I love the way it turned out and maybe it will had the food stains on the wall a little better! ;)

Day 27: Christmas Season is Here (11/27)

My house is decorated for Christmas! I love this time of year. Each year we get two new ornaments. The first one is our family ornament. Gavin picked out this years ornament! Can you tell? :) The second ornament we get is a traditional ornament. Every year on Thanksgiving PopPop and Nana give all of their grandchildren their own ornament. This was started by my dad's father {my grandpa} with us. Each ornament has the year added to the bottom and put on the tree. It's such a wonderful tradition.

We also decorated the outside of the house. We aren't quite done, Rennie wants to add two more strings of lights to the steep of the roof. My project was the front tree. Last year we picked out the eight large ornaments at an after-Christmas sale at Target. Cheap!! I also ran five strings of lights around the truck of the tree. It was fun to do!

Day 25: Beginning of the Christmas Season (11/25)

We have our REAL Christmas tree up and our FAKE fire going. The logs are new and we just installed them a few days ago. That was a project that should of taken half an hour but ended up taking 4 hours and three trips to Lowes but it was well worth it. 

Every year we get a real tree. It won't feel like Christmas if we didn't have a real tree {for those of you that enjoy fake trees: my apologies.} The tree needs to "fall" for the next couple of days before it can be decorated. 

It's going to be a great Christmas season!

Day 148: Halloween Decorations (10/18)

We came home from school today and Nana and PopPop put up Halloween decorations.

Gavin considers this his door and these were decorations have been blocking his path. He has figures out how to take them off and I keep finding them all over the house. :)

It's so interesting to see what he's going to do next!

Day 133: Grande Prairie Purchase (10/2)

While shopping at the flea market, we came across this metal booth and they have all kinds of things made out of metal.

We bought a bronze star and this turtle for the new house. I love buying things to decorate the house. We also bought three large vases to put in the living room. I am so excited to move in! I hope it's soon!
