It's That Time...

I have a serious problem when it comes to spring time and getting to wear flip flops...

I just can't say NO...


I may or may not have bought a new pair while out of town yesterday, I will never kiss and tell, but it was 62 degrees yesterday which is the start of flip flop season and I am through the roof excited!!!

OK, I am so glad I got that off my chest!!
Have a Great Monday!!!

Another Round....

It was a typical Monday for me, my alarm went off at 5:30 and as normal I hit the snooze and then my phone beeped, text beep, and when my eyes came into focus it was the college I attend saying campus closed due to inclement weather. The thing is the college I attend is in central Arkansas and weather there is never as bad as ours. I jump up and I told Paul what that text said and he was like "what?" I look outside and we are completely snowed covered. I run and turn on the tv and go figure we are out of school. (At this point I hope we get out for summer by July.) It snowed all day and it is absolutely beautiful.

This is our backyard.





This is about all the pictures that I have. Paul is always picking on us (me and the kids) and while he was making our snowman I decided to get a little revenge. I put down the camera and went and tackled him and rubbed his nose and face down in the ground and sat on him and made him stay there till he was soaking wet. Well not really, that is how it went in my mind. I did tackle him, but I did it on the hill in our backyard and when he fell he took me with him and we both rolled and rolled. So we both got soaked. Then I climbed on the sled and Paul slipped up behind me and gave me a huge push and boy did I crash, snow all down me AND down my shirt. I gladly took my defeat and went inside to dry off and warm up. Maybe next time, Paul better always be watching his back....

Completed Rooms (Almost)

Over our Christmas break the kids decided they wanted to switch rooms. I dreaded because I knew it was going to be a chore. But now that it is done, I love it, the kids love it, and everyone is happy!! I realize they are just bedrooms, but the switch just works better. I can't really describe it, but it works better for us. I am still not quit done decorating them, but I put notes on the pictures of what is going there.

Kale's room was done in vintage sports. There is another picture that is going in the middle of the other two, it is just a odd size and I am having to special order the frame.



Fallon's room is the same with the same theme, just a little better organized!!




This will give an idea of what the rooms look like now, well just when I clean it!!

Have a Great Monday!!
