Greenfield Village

Grammy and Grampy took the boys to Greenfield Village today. The weather was perfect and they had so much fun!

I went to an all girl birthday party and gave manicures to Owen's classmates. I had fun too!!

First bike ride 2014

So far so good at our new house. We are really enjoying our new subdivision and finding different common areas to check out each day. Today was actually our second bike ride/walk of the season. It was so pretty outside today and we found two ponds to check out.

Wyatt liked running on these rocks.



And Owen was finding tadpole after tadpole in this pond, that is so close to our new house.


Here was another pond we found when we went off of the main path just a hair. It was so pretty and peaceful out here.


The boys checking it out.


There is actually a third pond/swampy area behind our house through the woods. We've only been back there once but it will be fun for the boys to play back there when we get more comfortable here.

We continue to feel a little bit more at home each and every day. I think the hardest part is not being able to find certain things that we know have made the move but I just can't find (even with all of the boxes being unpacked).

We are hosting Easter dinner over here so I hope to have the inside of the house put together by then (and the outside cleaned up) if time and weather permits.

Happy Spring.......finally!!

Wyatt's room is done!!

I had one final detail to finish up in Wyatt's room...His letter. He wanted to keep his WYATT letters from over his crib but I tried to encourage him to get a big boy letter. Of course I persuaded him (his old letters are hanging in his closet so he can still see them every day).

I wanted to do a big W and I figured yarn would be a fun way to add texture and dimension to the wall. It was the most tedious, messy project I've done to date. And it took me hours, no exaggeration!

So this was my before.



And the after


But Wyatt keeps taking down his iron man picture and hanging up this little bunny picture instead. So naturally I take down the bunny one and put iron man back up but I'll come back to find his room like this. What a hoot!!


Overall I'm glad I made it for him. I really do think it completes his room nicely.

Breakfast nook before and after

I finally got my table and chairs for my breakfast nook this week.....I'm so happy with them and the table has a leaf, so if I ever need more table space I'll have it. Today I spruced up the bay window wall a bit. I was going to try to paint it but then I found this instead....

Before


After



It's not perfect, but I'm happy with it! Hoping to find my curtains for the window soon to get this room checked off my list.

Car accident

I was in my first car accident today. I hit a guy. Totally my fault and I was SO mad at myself. Thankfully I've got an amazing husband who just cared about me and Wyatt being okay. My poor car though. This could not have come at a worse time. Ugh!
