Hello Spring Break!

Not so nice!

The 'NEW' us

As some may know, I LOVE to change my hair! LIKE ALL THE TIME!

It has been a while since I made any major changes...

until now!

Yep, I tried a darker look this time. (Next time might be darker still!)

Also, if you look closely you will notice the weird, wacky things hanging out above my nose. Yep, those are glasses - which I now need. If you look even closer you may see that they are - in fact - bifocals. I can't see coming or going now! They tell me it is age, but I don't feel that old. Whatever! Now, I just have to learn to walk with these suckers on!

I was not the only one to get a makeover! The Girl seriously needed a haircut. (Like almost 4 inches!) I am told it makes her look older! I was just thankful that I didn't have to de-snarl her hair this morning!

taken by my phone - sorry!

The Boy still is sporting his spiky 'do and the Hubby still has the same 'do that he has been rockin' practically since birth!

Ahhhh, life is good!

The Boy's Room - The Curtains

My mom taught me how to sew and cook and all those other things I try to do. Thank heavens because it would have cost me an arm and a leg to pay someone to make these curtains! 

They did turn out pretty great AND they aren't done yet! (The Boy's initials will be made into a design and then put on the black part.) I even made my own pattern! (Look Mom! even seam allowances!)

I am still so excited that they turned out! WaHoo!

We also spent the day off of school yesterday CLEANING!

Yes, I am that mean of a momma!

I asked The Boy to put his things away so I could vacuum. When I went in to check, this is what I saw...

I also checked The Girl's room because I had asked him to help her. Yep, you guessed it.

We are gunna have a CHAT about putting things away! AND we are so getting rid of stuff!

A Good "De-Crapping"

Grumpy Mommy showed her head a couple of days ago. I went to find the children's Tylenol 'cuz The Boy had a headache/ear ache. And I COULDN'T FIND IT!

The hall closet was our go-to place for all kinds of things, including cleaning supplies and medicines. 

IT WAS A DISASTER!

(and no, I didn't take pictures!)

It was time for....

a "De-crapping!"
(Thanks to a hs FB friend for the word!)

I needed some garbage bags for the crap to go into so I went under the kitchen sink and ...

de-crapped that first! I tossed out old pitchers, empty chemical bottles and other miscellaneous stuff that I didn't need. Once that cupboard was nice and neat I took the many WallieWorld bags to the hall closet and started on it.

Anything that isn't used weekly (or even monthly) has to go to the basement storage area.

All the rest of the stuff can stay put, but will have to be in some sort of container.

Which I so have....

They also have to be labeled.  I love a good labeling!

We are still a work in progress but here is my results from yesterday!  The Girl helped by putting her new Barbie helment in the closet. Thanks, chicka!

Today, I am planning on tackling the medicine cabinet in the kitchen. Some of that stuff has got to GO! (or at least move to here!)

Our Valentine's Weekend

We love Valentine's Day around here.

My hubby always send me flowers from ProFlowers, which I aDoRe!

We made cute candy tags for the kiddos!

The Boy helped me make him a Valentine's Monster for his class party.

a really awful picture of such loveliness.... sorry

The best part was that I so splurged on my hubby. I usually only get him a card, but this year he got a way cooler present. Now, let me explain, YEARS and YEARS ago we decided that we were spending too much time watching network and cable TV so we canceled everything. (Crazy, huh?) Since then, replacing/updating these bad boys has never been a priority.

Until... Netflix.

We love our movies and old TV shows.

42 inches of loveliness and a Blu-Ray (internet capable) = LoVe

It replaces this monster, which is trying to die.

All in all, a fabulous, fun and festive weekend!

The Boys Room - Paint is UP

WaHoOo!

I started as soon as he headed to school and finished up the second "alcove" just before he got home.

He opened the door and said,

"Whoa! That is so cool! It looks real!"

That comment made it all worthwhile!

Some may ask what I did with the Girl while I was painting...

'Nuf said.

The Boy's Room - Getting Ready

Ok - I am a chicken. I have the paint and have tried out the technique on the sample board. I have even drawn on the wall but I can't make seem to get the courage up to put paint on the walls!
