Lazy Days and Orange Chair

Well one picture is of the kids being lazy in front of the tv. I think the dog loves it. :-) You missed out on the fight that started right after this. I guess an hour was too long together for this afternoon....they are now playing in separate rooms for a little while. Then I know in 30 minutes they will ask if they can play together and they won't fight. :-)



Then I just finished the painting job on the chair N wanted for his room at his desk. Now he desk from his birthday is blue like he wanted. Then when we found this chair from a friend who was moving and put it out for the garbage guys. We sanded it and cleaned it up and then painted it. It's perfect for a boys room b/c it can take a beating. :-) And of course you can see the color N wanted it. His Kindergarten teacher was big into BSU and even though we don't follow it N always remembers about it when it comes to colors.

Decorating

Well slowly but surely getting things decorated...one step at a time. :-) I put some stuff on the mantel and then I did an idea that I can't remember if mom told me or Aunt P told me about. At first E was not happy that her baby blanket was up there (it has been in the closet for years) but now she is fine with it. I think on the other side I want to find an old wooden crate or something and put N's baby blanket on that side with some sort of plant. I'll just keep an eye out for something.

New Family Photos!

Okay I know it's been forever since I have blogged and there is tons going on around here with summer here. My parents came to visit along with my sister and her husband. We had a great time and time seemed to fly by. I don't even think we made it to the pool like my sister wanted....didn't even realize this until after everyone had left. My dad made a mantel for us and after I painted it looks like it belongs in the house and was part of the house. We love it. I promise to take a "finished" picture and post it tomorrow since I put some stuff up on it yesterday after knowing it had been drying for 3 days (I was worried since it was glossy oil paint...that is what all of our trim is).

Anyways, while everyone was here I had a friend who takes wonderful pictures take our pictures. Of course I get to see them before anyone else (actually M and the kids did since I was at work)
