So I posted on my Facebook a while ago about painting our room
So I know you all have been dying to see what it looks like
Yes it is pinterest inspired and if you noticed there are yellow paint swabs that we are trying to decide for a head board, and then the bedding will change and the night stands will be black like our dressers.
It is going to be so nice to have it all done!!

Play Hats
So Anna decided that she wanted Mom and Dad to play hats with her!!
It was so funny because she required us to wear certain hats and we couldn't trade
so these where the hats she picked out for us
She is just so silly and is starting to get her imagination!!

Christmas 2011-part 1
Ok so i know its like a month late but i figure i better talk about it anyways!!
So Christmas this year was really fun having a 2 year old who kind of got it.
Christmas eve we headed up to my house to have dinner and do family gifts
but before we had dinner we thought it would be fun to take Anna ice skating at the Midway ice rink
Anna actually really liked it and didn't fall much!!
Then dinner came and after dinner guess who stopped by Grandma's house
All the grand kids loved seeing santa that night
it was a fun night.. this year Riley and I were in charge of Stocking (my family just trades grand kid gift then does stockings) it was fun getting things for stockings but it just ment nothing was a surprise
After all that it was really nice to go home and sleep in our beds

home sweet home
so now that Riley and I have been married for 2 1/2 years we have only lived in 2 places our first little place over by center street, we only lived there for about 6 months it didn't have a washer or dryer which was really hard with a new baby and it had the smallest closets known to man kind, but the hard wood floors and big garden bath tub were the best part!!
Then we moved into the house we are in now and probably will be for the rest of our lives (yes im ranting) it is really nice it has a big back yard, lots of shade trees, 3 bedrooms and a big kitchen. I do mostly miss the garden bath tub...
But... yes there is a but..
In my next house or if we ever remodel this house (if we buy it) their are a couple requirements!!
First:
I want a front porch and a back porch.. ok lets just say a wrap around porch
Second:
A nice big laundry room with lots of storage and organization.
Third:.. 3 bathrooms
A bathroom for Riley and I
A bathrom for Anna
And a guest Bathroom..
And last but not least:
a Big Bathtub...
NOW IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR.. i don't think so!!
:D

more crafting
Well like most of you I am a pinterest addict!! I boggles my mind that blogger doesn't recognize the word pinterest right??
So I am one of those pinteresters that just pins a bizillion things and never makes anything!!
Well that is about to change, part of my new years goals is to do the things on pinterest more!!
So here is one of the crafts i have done that I loved making
this cutie sits outside of Annas room that way when she walks out of her room its the first thing she sees!!
Isn't it super cute!! I think so!!

cleaning out!!
Anna's room has needed a much needed clean out!!!
So we have gone through all of her toys and clothes and gotten rid of the toys she doesn't play with any more and put away the clothes that are too small! also we have rearranged her room to help keep it clean
First: we put all her toys and books in her closet so that she has to ask to play with them and that way we can put them away at night!
This was such an AWESOME idea!!
Second: we made sure the only things in her room where the essentials such as her bed, dresser, rocking chair and the art easel santa gave her (with the coloring supplies tucked away in the closet)
It make her room now have so much floor space and it is so open now!! I feel like i can breath
But now you may ask what happened to all the stuff we took out of her room!!
Meet our extra bedroom!! it was like this for a couple days and I couldn't handle it so of course it was time to clean this room out!!
much better right!! (don't mind the mess on the floor i was crafting) and now 2 out of the 3 rooms we have are organized. we are saving ours for later!!

a little bit of crafting
Wow i haven't blogged in a long time, I have been pinteresting to much!!
Well Riley and I are planning our next big vacation
can you guess where??
if you guessed Walt Disney World you were correct!!
We aren't planing on going until September 2013 for Anna's 4th birthday
But unlike most families we are a one income household so that means we need to start saving now!!
So i decopodged some sparkling cider jars to help us save! The nice part about these bottles is that you cant put coins in so that mean only "DOLLAR BILLS" yikes!! hopefully we will make our goals for savings! I mean we have 19 months to do it RIGHT??
Well also on the back I wrote out goal of how much we should have in there when in comes time to breaking the bottles
this was a fun craft and we will probably do it for every big thing that we want to save for "if it works"
Well make sure you check back in September of 2013 to see the breaking of the bottles
:D
