It's that time of year again!

It's Mothers day again.  All i ask for is...............  The kid's, is to let me take pictures of them with no complaining. I don't know why but I can take anyone family pictures just find,  But as soon as i start thinking about ours i start to get bead's of sweat that turn into Monster Sweat, and then Pretty soon I'm sweating like a Trucker (no offence to any truckers).  All this before i even start snapping.  But anyway I get one hour to snap as many as i want and they have to sit and smile and be nice the whole time.  And from Brad i ask for one hour to help me with the kid's with out getting mad about it taking to long. 

This worked wonderfully last year,  So i thought i would try it again this year.  But this year i snuck a couple out early to do there individual shot's.  And tomorrow is the big group shot.  I make it seem like such a big deal,  which, to my family, it is.  I'm not sure why they have such a problem looking normal all at the same time, But it seems to be a huge challenge!  But here is a preview of Paris and Blazers Pictures.

This is what most of Blazers turned out like, But i did get a few.

Underoo's

I don't know what it is but every laundry day,  Both Boy's end up with Underoo's on there head.  And every week i laugh,  Cause i think it's so funny.  Somethings never get old, And i guess this is one of them.   I think it's funny that they are super hero's with there (they are clean but still stained) skidmard undies.

On to not so funny things.  i finished the table living room table.  It's funny how you spend so much time trying to make something look really old eh.  I got this table thing from Mom,  Who got it from a Garage sale along time ago,  She added the leg's, and painted it red. Then a few years later she painted it a cream color to match her living room,  then i needed one for my Bedroom so Mom so nicely gave this one up,  but i quickly decided it needed a home in the living room. 

So this is what it started out (when i got it from mom).  Cute but i had to paint it to match my house.

So i sanded it and wiped it down.  Then i took some Turquoise paint and Painted where i wanted it to show.  So mostly corners and edges.

Then i Painted the main color (which i love)  It turned out to be my perfect color.  Once i had 3 coats on i let it dry really good then i took the sander to it.  I sanded and distressed it enough so the red and Turquoise pokes through.

I left the drawers out and had Brad cut some boards to fit for shelves, then i painted the inside of were the drawers use to be. 

I got two cute door knob's, and used my HandyDandy Silhouette machine to cut me the Pussy Willow design. And i folded up all my quilts and put the in the shelves! 

I love love love they way it turned out!!  So next I've got to get fabric to cover the brown chairs.

Big Daddy's home.

As of late Friday i found myself in a fetal position  in the corner of my room banging my head against the wall. You think that sounds crazy?!?!?!?!  Well i was,  But at last Big Daddy's home, and I've crawled out of my "crazy corner" and am shouting for joy because tomorrow's....... BACK TO SCHOOL!!
