Finally ready?

So here is the final room done. We are sorted, organized and ready (I think). Now I just need something else to nest with. I have had Aaron hang almost all the pictures I had held off on, the house has been cleaned from top to bottom, so maybe I will take on Katie's bathroom downstairs. It is a little bland and it may just fit the bill. I will keep you posted.

Killing Time

The other day, I was killing time on Etsy and came across these really cute dresses, but they don't ship to Canada, plus I am too cheap. I figured I could make them fairly easily, and a couple of hours later here are the finished projects. They are called pillow case dresses, and probably were originally made with pillow cases, but I couldn't find fabric quite this fun in a ready made pillowcase.

Still Waiting......

As you can see by the pictures, I am not talking about the baby. It is officially spring and this is crazy! Now I know not all this has fallen in the last 2 days, (only half of it has) but still this doesn't look like optimism to me. The picture above is taken with me on the floor looking straight out. The bench on the left is the guide, if you can even see the bench!

Katie's First Skating Carnival

I had really hoped that I could upload the video with this, but an hour later and still no luck. O well. This was as you can see her first Carnival. She loved it to say the least. She is the epitomy of a performer. She loved wearing a costume as well as being the center of attention. She is the one in the front in the group picture. I have to admit, it almost made me cry watching her out there. They skating to Love me Do by the beatles and needless to say they stole the show as preschoolers often do.

Joy

The other evening this was my view while I made supper. It was peaceful, fun to listen to and I can't help but smile when I look at Katie with her poker like hat on that she borrowed from her dad. She has really gotten into board games lately, and is quite good at them too.

2 Down, 1 In Progress

So here is Katie's new room. This one prooved to be a lot more work since we put beadboard and trim up (around the same time Aaron had a run in with a table saw... whole different story). Anyhoo... we gave in to her greatest desire and she now has a pink room. She is also now a much bigger girl since she has the biggest room in the house and has moved down into the basement. It has gone very smoothly in all, and most importantly Katie loves it!
