Emily was in charge of a study group at our house after school on Friday....I think they got some work done :-)




Morgan took control of the kitchen and made some brownies all by herself.

Prepping for February

...the glue gun and I have been having fun

More "Afters"

Here is Emily's room complete after her closet remodel.




Morgan's new bookcase that she got from Santa.

Family Rules

This is not an original idea. Jill found this Family Rules Canvas on a fun blog Owlhaven. The minute I saw it I knew I wanted to make one for our family. I still need to put the final clear coat on it and then I am probably going to hang it by the kitchen table.

Max's bookshelf is complete

The BIG K

I decided that I wanted to do the closet as cheap as possible( more $ for my crafts!), so I was going to use paint that we already had in the garage. I didn't have enough to do the whole closet one color so 3 walls are "reef" and one wall is "skyline". Wasn't too sure how well they would go together....but I was thrilled to find some paper that had both colors in it and decoupage my K!

First Few Days of January

Duck party at the Raleighs



Festive Fans



Maddie & Peyton came over after the Duck party and had a sleepover. Madison & Max are beyond addicted to the new Mario Bros for the Wii. As the girls said, " the Wii is bringing Maddie & Max closer " :-)






BEFORE pics of the closet:





AFTER: today Wayne and I painted the closet and then I put my crafts into it even with the walls a little wet. I was so excited for my craft closet.
