A Beautiful Sight

I was doing dishes the other night when I looked down and noticed that half of the bottom rack was filled with kiddie dishes. I thought, now that is a beautiful sight!! I am so blessed! One day they will grow up and they won't want the Buzz Lightyear plate or the Minnie Mouse sippy cup any more and my dishwasher will be filled with boring white dishes. Buzz you have a slot reserved in my dishwasher for years to come.  Kind of a random thought, just thought I'd share.

Another beautiful sight:

This wall finally has something on it!! ♥ it!! This shelf was above our bed, I decided it would be better out here, and it is. :) Now I have more places to put crap! :)

A background story:

A long time ago (back in our Omaha days) Nate decided to build bunk beds for our two little boys, it was a huge project but well worth it in the end! While our garage was already a woodshop we decided to refinish some dressers that were from my Grandma Mickelsen.  We stained the dressers and the bunk beds the same color thinking that maybe one day we could pass those dressers down to our boys. Smart thinking I'd say. Here's a little before and after for ya:

So here is another beautiful sight:

At last, the redone dressers have been passed down. We got rid of the plastic "dressers" and now they have real ones!!!

Another beautiful sight:

We finally got some bedroom furniture! I feel so grown up and sophisticated now. ;) Mom and I had a fun day in Twin yesterday shopping for stuff to dress it up- yay Target!! I couldn't wait to get up this morning so I could make my bed...now that's a rarity.

Happy Halloween!

We had a garden fairy, a "motorcycle man", Batman, and a ninja this year.
