Happy Fall

I guess it's time for a little blogging update. We have been busy with school and our church responsibilities, we haven't done a lot where I've taken pictures. I just have a few funny things that happened at home and I remembered to grab the camera.

I was busy a couple of weekends ago with my latest project - finding an old hutch and fixing it up to use as a bookcase. Here's the finished product - I love the color. It's Sherwin Williams Halcyon Green (even though its the perfect Robin's Egg blue color if you ask me, not at all green) if anybody's interested.


Anyway, after getting that finished, I needed to clean my neglected house. The kids were busily playing (quietly, which should have tipped me off) while I was able to get my kitchen cleaned and some loads of laundry done. When I finally checked on them, I realized the error of my ways....


Do you ever feel like you're working against yourself? (That's my binder of everything for my responsibilities at church and some red crayon that I LUCKILY found only on the bathtub. Oh my.)

Finally, these two have been having so much fun together. Davis always wants to do everything Addie does. Addie is obsessed with everything girly (necklaces, painting her fingernails) and princesses (thank you, cousin Camilla) which explains how I found them brushing their teeth the other night:

Yes, that's nakedness with just a necklace on. The girl loves her accessories.

He loves his big sister!

Also, watch for an update this week of Addie and her first day of preschool. We found a great little church literally up the street from us that does a one morning a week preschool for 2 year olds turning 3. She went to an orientation this week and fell in love with Miss Ashlie and Miss Stefanie.
A lot of my friends here in Omaha are homeschoolers, and through them I have found a great resource that I am going to start using with both of kids here at home. It's a site called "No Time For Flashcards" and she has the best ideas for crafts with toddlers/preschoolers as well as "letter of the day" lesson plans complete with corresponding book recommendations and craft projects. I'll let you know how it goes!

P.S. A week from today is Jeremy and I's (or is it me? I never know) 6 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Needless to say we have grand plans....maybe a Redbox and some takeout after the kids are asleep???
