Welcoming the cars to the new playroom (Ray set them up)

Evidence that Ray did eat all the strawberries in the fridge

070711: My accomplishments of the day...

Yes, on my to do list I had: clean the bathroom, laundry, clean the kitchen, vacuum, etc.  Of that list I did not have on there: convert the extra room into a play room or organize my ribbon, OR not be able to tear myself away from pinterest

Pinterest is a website where you can create these idea boards.  You can find stuff yourself off the internet and pin it, pin your own pics, or repin (which I am the Queen of) other peoples pins.  It is absolutely fabulous!!!!  I literally can spend hours (if I had them) on this site.  So since I can't spend hours, I spend really long minutes on here.  If you want to check it out, let me know and I will add you.  Trust me once you start pinning, you won't be able to stop.

Here are some results of what I did today:

Before: toys in the living room

After: toys in the now "Play Room"

Before: chaotic ribbon box

After: organized ribbon box (tutorial: how to make a ribbon box)

So what I actually can check off of the list...... laundry.

070411: Happy 4th of July!!!

Happy 4th!!! I wish we could show you a beautiful bbq pictorial out of a Martha Stewart magazine.  But its way too hot out here for all that.  Its over 100 degrees.  But, of course, I have pics of the kids :-).

Of course Ray has to have Benjiman in the pic

070311: Old pants, New shorts...

Like a sewing freak-a-zoid, I save my scraps.  I'll save t-shirts, old clothing, blankets, yada-yada-yada.  All in hopes that I will give the item new life as something that I can use out of.  Now I should tell you, although I have these reincarnation intentions, I rarely actually do it.  However, today is a different day.

These were some of my favorite winter pants of Ray's:

And now here is Ray's summer shorts:

And here is one happy and cool customer:

(check out the "how to" in tutorials to see how easy it was)

070211: Ummmm...

Umm, is it completely crazy that I want the kids to be a tall and grande chai for halloween?

070111: Who said.....

So who said that spaghetti isn't a finger food?

As you can see we did start off with silverware.  But after awhile, the kids just had to do what they had to do to eat.  As well as feed each other.

Another pic I wanted to share, which has nothing to do with food, is of Ray:

This is him watching Toy Story 3.  You can barely see it, but just left of the blanket are his cars.  When he watches a movie that he really likes, he places all of them next to each other and faces them towards the TV so that they can watch too.  He has his mischievous look, cause he tried to cover them right before I took the pic.  Gotta love it!
