KE's New Do

After much pleading with me and her daddy, KE finally got her haircut "like her bestest". I was a bit worried because her hair is very thin but I think it suits her! She woke up this morning saying " I woke up with short hair!" Just a giggling

Shout Out!

I finally got my first Rustic Creations frame!!! I think it looks great and can't wait to have it hung in my kitchen!!! And remember the painting? It's Wondrous Cross from Easely Amused.

Father's Day

As I sit down to type, I think I have gained at least 5 pounds. Since we are doing the budget thing, I had the idea to cook for T for father's day. I told the kids I would wake them up very early this morning so we could get everything ready. Thankfully I prepared most of the meal last night and stuck it in the fridge. We got up at 6 a.m. and prayed T would not wake up until we carried breakfast to him. Everything went well! The menu was as follows:
Garlic Cheese Grits
Breakfast casserole
Sausage and Cream Cheese Squares
Homemade hash brown potatoes
french toast
fresh OJ... ( well, fresh from the grove... Florida's Natural grove that is)

If anyone would like a recipe let me know and I will post it!

After church ( which I skipped to clean house and get lunch ready) we had mimi and papaw over for Homemade spaghetti and meatballs. Oh My Goodness. I think we all agree in this house that supper will be VERY light.

I don't have pictures of breakfast in bed because my camera was dead!! So sad! It was the cutest thing... I let the kids all carry something while I carried the tray into the bedroom. He was so surprised and loved it. It's the least I could do to show him how much he means to us. He is by far the best daddy and would do anything for our children. I'm so thankful that my kids have the father I never did. He is a part of their lives and always will be. The afternoon will be spent napping while T and his father ( papaw) go fishing!

Color Reveal

Just a peak of my former dining room... will sooner or later be a family den-type area. I can't decide if it's too bright but it will have to work. It took the painters 4 days to complete and they did a wonderful job. We may have access to a sofa but it will need a slipcover. Any hints on where I can get a great slipcover that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Below is the foyer wallpaper we inherited with the house. It's gorgeous and while it would not be my first choice, it's gorgeous. See the blue I pulled for the walls?

Potty Time!

=THIS!!!!

KE and W were not potty trained until they were both 3..... so I have been assuming all along that N (he will be 3 in December) will follow his siblings. For about 2 weeks or longer now, he has been taking his diaper off and just walking around bottomless and fancy free. The past couple of days in his crib he makes a mess of his diaper and takes them off because I 'm sure he doesn't want to sit in that. There have been many a sheet and blanket washing going on and I'm in the road so much that I can't take them time to train him.

Yesterday was the last straw. I had just put him down and I hear W say , "Mama N has poo poo and it's on the floor!!!!!" My first thoughts were of course UGH... SO again, I change him, strip his bed, make his bed back up and put him to sleep.. STOP THE INSANITY! This afternoon I decided to break down and start the process. So far so good! He is enjoying his new seat from "Mallmart" and every time the timer beeps, he runs and cuts it off and we sing the potty song!
