cuteness!

i love this picture so this is the story behind it...
Julie had the kids over for a positively perfect pizza pajama party previewing Mr. Popper's Penguins! Daddy and Bean made cookies for their evening!

went into Jilliann's room the other night and this is what i found. Yep both of them squished onto her tiny little twin bed!

Big Package... Little Item

so tommy had ordered something online and kind of forgotten about it.
we received this package in the mail and couldn't think of what it was because the box was huge!


 oh look! its a little antennae! he has a big boy remote controlled car and the antennae holder broke so he needed to replace it so we didn't have anymore runaway cars.
it was hilarious and we also think that this company needs to go greener!

bean and boo's v-day!

the kids had an awesome valentine's day!
we got up, finished our butterfly valentines, and went and picked out flowers for oba!
we delivered our lovely flowers to oba, she treated us to lunch and then....
oba took the kids to "King of Sweets!" they were able to walk around and pick out whatever they wanted. they were so excited and loved every part of it. 
jilliann got so much that she had told me she was done after going half way! kasey took his sweet time and picked out everything he wanted! 
they were crazy hyper when they got home but seeing their faces and excitement was fantastic!

after we got home they got to open their gifts from us...
they had a bunch of random art supplies that we had been collecting from the dollar spot at target (love that place!)
 seeing his watercolor paint by number pages
getting out all of her magnetic alphabet letters!

V-Day part 2!

i found a really cute tutorial on pinterest and was super excited because i had everything already on hand!
we made these the night before and finished them the next morning.


 look at that concentration!
this ended up being a really easy project, and the kids had a blast.
all we did was use glitter glue and then let it dry overnight. we just punched holes with a hold puncher and added a dum dum! 
they were really cute!

Kitchen Remodel

guess what......
we have officially started ripping out our kitchen!
oh boy the story behind why! 
one night mom dropped Jilliann off and i started cooking dinner, making tea, and doing dishes. that is a typical day!
well i had hambuger browning and stepped into something wet. i looked on the counter and saw that the tea was leaking. i just assumed my tea had overflowed onto the floor. i started to clean it up and realized that the water was clear.... hmmmm.
i opened the cabinet doors under the sink and there was mac and cheese all over the cabinet and a pool of water!
OH BOY!!
so then i started cleaning up the tea, the water underneath the sink, and then realized i just BURNT the meat!
dinner was a disaster, the cabinet was ruined (it had been leaking from a pin sized hole a very long time and we never noticed!), and i didn't have any sweet tea!
so i threw my hands up and said that was it! 
we were going to start tearing it up and getting it pretty!


i even have little helpers

this is the awful mess of before!
i was trying to organize it and rearrange cabinets, but now we get to start over!
can't wait to show you what we are going to do!!
