Happy Birthday Taylor

Special day at school

Because Taylor is having a birthday this week, they celebrated his special day school today.

Easter

Unfortunately I forgot my camera this vacation so the phone photos are going to have to do :)

Projects Projects Projects

The past couple of months have been redecorating months for me. The first project I took on was repainting the guest room bed. What used to be oak is now a distressed black. Add some new pillows, lamps, a wall hanging and voile... a new and improved guest room for our guests that stay here on their way to somewhere else :)

Note: The tree is still missing it's pictures to make it a family tree. So for now it's just a fabulous tree with oval frames.



The second project was our computer desk.It is also made out of the same awesome oak. I used a cream color with a brown wash over the top. This project is not quite finished either. The lamp base will soon be painted red and there will be an accompanying red wood chair to go with it. I just need to find one to paint.

April Fool's

Lot's of fun this year for April fools! The kids gave their friends donut seeds. For dinner I made them grilled cheese sandwich's made out of orange frosting and pound cake baked in a loaf pan. Joseph and Miriam took a minute to taste their sandwich because they thought it looked weird. Taylor dug right in and ate it all up. Go figure. The best was waiting for Thad to get home. After putting the kids to bed he got his cookies and milk ready, the computer on and went to get into bed for a relaxing night of television and cookies. Oh wait!! Something was not right. He couldn't get his feet all the way in the bed. Hahahahahahahahahah. I didn't even mind remaking the bed.

Businessman of the Year

Joseph's school had an economics project this year where they had a certain amount of money to use for the project. The objective was to think of something they could sell and earn the most money. Joseph made tic-tac-toe board from interfacing, using pom-poms for the pieces you put on the board. He also made how to instructions. Some of the instructions had a hidden bonus on the back for a free desk clean. He got second highest in the 3rd grade.

Ya gotta love kids!

Thad and I have never felt better about ourselves than we did this weekend after Miriam and Taylor supplied us with loving comments.

Saturday morning: "mom, are you growing a beard?" Miriam Kendell age 7

Sunday morning: "Dad, you work to much and get fat." Taylor Kendell age 3

Such confidence boosters!!!!
