Painting

I have been busy the last few days painting our upstairs guest bathroom. When we moved into this home there were 2 rooms we did not paint and this bathroom was one of them. The previous color was tan. I just wanted a change and have something brighter in this bathroom.

Cutting in was the hardest part



The final product


I went with Porter paint in Sea Mint. I tried to match the shower curtain as best as possible


I still need to decorate a little. I'm going to change out the towels and bath rug to chocolate brown to match the curtain



I had to show a picture of my two favorite men reading a bedtime story together. LOVE THEM!!


What do you think of the bathroom makeover?

Crayon Melting

Like all kids, Landon has LOTS of broken crayons that were not being used. Several years ago I heard of the idea of melting your old crayons to make new ones.

First you have to take all the paper off every crayon. This was the hardest part of the process and place them in an old muffin tin. Be sure to spray the muffin cup with non-stick cooking spray before you put the broken crayons in the cup

(please excuse the really OLD and nasty muffin tin. This tin is older than me and has not been used in years. I pulled it out just for this occasion)

Next you heat your oven to 275 degrees. Place the crayons in the oven for 7-8 minutes till melted. I used a toothpick to stir the melted crayon to give it that swirl look


Lastly, let them cool and pop them out of the tin


and there you go!! Just call me Martha Stewart HAHA ;o

Happy coloring

Mr. Cool

Landon was playing in the garage today and found some old goodies to play with

Old sunglasses, a watch and Jason's yard shoes (haha)

He insisted I put the glasses on as well

Dog food everywhere

Look who found the dog food






He did help me clean it up. Such a good helper ;o)

Date night

Saturday night Stu, Ann and Abby came over for dinner and to let the kids play. Landon had his 1st date with sweet Ms. Abby


The beginning of the date


Then the date proceeded to the car





I hope she doesn't see me pick my nose


Alone time please


Listening to music


I think the date is over


We had a great night spending time with the Staples family. Check out Ann's blog post about their date night here

Big boy bed

Well we finally had to make the big boy bed change last night. I really wanted to wait as long as possible before we converted his crib to a toddler bed, but it had to be done.
The last 3 mornings Landon has crawled out of his crib and has walked into our bedroom only to be woken up to him yelling mommy in my face. Since he has done that the last few days we might as well change his bed and see how it goes.

Big boy bed!!


Checking out his new bed




Not happy when he could not play with the camera


Ready to go nite nite


He did pretty good last night. He was up at 3am looking for us and then up again at 6am ready for the day. It was my turn to sleep in. Sorry daddy ;o)

We will see how it goes

Trick or Treat

Look what came in the snail mail today


Landon's new PBK's trick or treat bag. Love all things monogrammed.
Now if we can only decided on what he is going to be this year. Any suggestions?


Can't blog without a picture of little man


Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend. We have something to do everyday.
Fall is right around the corner
