Who's made U laugh today?

I love my kids.

They always make me laugh.

Today, my 4 y/o Ethan and I were talking weather preference.

I said, "I want summer",

to which Ethan replied, "I want winter."

(Oh, ornery age 4!)

So I ask Ava, at almost 2 y/o, "how about you?"

She says, "I want cookies."

Um, me too.

Then over lunch Ethan and I were discussing cheese.

Specifically, types of cheese and what he wanted.

He says, "I want who cheese."

(I don't know what "who cheese" is,

but I trust he does.)

I couldn't help myself though.

I replied, "You're too young for hoochies."

And lastly, on the drive home from Target,

where I resisted the cutest pair of wedges, thank you very much,

a "Shake&Go" car went off in the back seat.

If you don't know, it revs.

Low and kind of gravelly.

I started freaking out.

Why is my car making that sound?  What is going on?

Then the toy says, "speed?  I am speed."

The light bulb goes on.

I am so dumb.  :)

Green with Envy

I painted one of our bathrooms!

It use to look like this...

 Hello, boring little bathroom!

(loves the tp roll on back of the potty - classy.)

After a lot of debate...

And I mean years worth...

I settled on Botanical Green.

Hold on to your hats!!

Hello, Luscious Green!!

Okay, I have to admit,

when it first went up,

I was nervous.

Really nervous.

Like am I really going to have to paint this bathroom white next week kind of nervous.

But she grew on me.

And after a little of this:

(Dang.)

And a lot of this:

Now instead of looking at this,

 suddenly we're looking at this:

So earthy and beautiful.

(but in the interest of full disclosure, it does give one's skin a disconcerting hue.  Maybe not such a good color for the vanity mirror.  My little boys don't care... green is awesome!!) 

I have an art project planned for the walls.

But, another day. 

Now all I need is a cute little window over the throne to let in some natural light.

Baby steps, baby steps.

Mind Melt

So I was going to attempt a post today.
I figured it was time.
And just as a opened up a new post,
Don't ya know it!  I remembered...
I'm suppose to make beef stew for supper...
In the crock pot...
Should've been done 2 hours ago...
Dang it!
So this post will have to wait for another day.
But on the plus side, I am in the middle of painting,
and if I wait another day, I might actually be able to show you what I'm doing.
But to be real, this is me still.
I do things on my own timetable.
(Don't rush me.)
