Makeovers--Big & Small

Oh, the wind is lashing lustily,
and the trees are thrashing thrustily,
and the leaves are rustling gustily,
so it feels that it will undoubtedly be...
a rather blustery day!!
--Winnie the Pooh

Why does it have to be garbage day on the windiest day of the year?  This morning I put the cans out early, right after Braiden got on the bus.  Fast forward a few hours, I start the shower for Brody and look out the window to see our garbage cans...contents and all blowing all over the neighborhood.  So I slip on my shoes and run out, gather up the garbage put everything back in place...  Back in the house I find this:

It is impossible to take a shower with this chick around!  Look at her she is having the time of her life. 

Joslyn--10 months.

The other day I was sitting back looking at my entryway ledge, my brain started turning and I decided that I wanted to change it up.  I have these W-E-L-C-O-M-E  letters up there that were green, and I wanted them black...so I got out the spray paint and wah-lah!

Added a cute bird cage and some greenery.
This little ledge is so high that nobody sees it any way, but I do, and I like it!

A couple weeks ago we got new furniture....finally.  So the majority of the day on Sat. we spent moving furniture and electronics around.  I am loving the new look.


Moved the TV downstairs (YAY!)



TA-DA
ahhhh I love it!

These days Hudson insists that he is called Huddo, he is so funny he even introduces himself as Huddo to people in the grocery store. Silly boy.

Joslyn is so cute!! Love your new furniture!!! It looks great! I agree with garbage day being so windy. I seriously thought the same thing yesterday!

What a funny cute baby you have. She can NOT be 10 months old. Makes me sick how fast time goes. The only reason our garbage didn't blow away is because Robbie prayed that it wouldn't so his VERY pregnant wife wouldn't have to chase it down. LOVE LOVE LOVE your furniture. Looks great. We are due for some new. Looks like you have been busy and crafty as ever!

Callie and Court enjoyed the shower pictures. They were wondering what baby that was. So cute.
I keep hearing spray paint does wonders. Your welcome sigh looks great. I am getting excited to decorate...Oh and the shoes are feeling good. I am more sore after my runs now though in certain muscles. Hopefully it is working :).
