Colors

Yesterday I was laying on the couch relaxing and Aubrey was poking and prodding me as usual...She was pushing my belly so I told her to stop because there was a baby in there...She lifts up my shirt rubs my belly and says AWW baby..Then points to my road map(Stretch marks..THANKS KIDS) and said Mommy colors?

Wood Stove

We had a nicely built wood stove area in our house when we bought it. It is in the playroom...However it just looked like shit! The slate floor was nice but the brick just darkened the room. Since it was there we figured why not get it done!!

BEFORE(it was our storage area for a while)


Last Christmas yes the room was done BUT I HATED looking at all our pics that morning seeing this eyesore in the background!

NOW!!



We still have to gate it but I LOVE it!

My LAST project ...

This is the LAST thing on my to do list before the baby comes...

I wanted to make THESE ugly bricks PRETTY!




We didnt think that we could paint them. However after doing a little research we found out that we could!

I have painted ALL of the brick for the most part...However the bitch will be all the little pieces of grout in between..



Just a little taste of what I have DONE so far

dont turn your back for one second...

I was painting out bricks in the basement(my LAST project before CJ comes) and I hear Aubrey singing to herself. Something told me to turn around and I see this...



She missed the memo she is no longer the baby :)

Girly...yet not so girly...

Today Aubrey and I got ready together...She brushed her hair, put MY slippers on because they were pretty shoes, put deodorant on her belly, and blush on her head! Then after all of this she held her fist up..."wanna fight?"

A little trim work..added MORE pics

I have HATED the siding/nasty blue trim work since the day we looked at the house! We plan on doing the Vinyl within the next year or two so I decided since we have to paint the trim ANYWAYS why not get started?! We still have the roof ridge and over hang to paint black but its really coming along..All trim and the garage door are black. Our two doors are red. It looks amazing!!

Before we bought the house!


With a little love and landscaping...


NOW with the trim half way done :)

Peace...

Yes this UGLY thing is GONE! It will be a normal deck when we are done with lattice on the bottom :)

All you grocery challenge day 2

What a day! I had appts all morning and then came home and did ALL the touch up work in the basement..we had a few spots from reparing the half wall in the playroom, a few touch ups in the office from the chair and stuff ripping paint off, and on the stairs! I also cleaned the whole basement so at least the downstairs is nice and orderly!!

I then went outside and painted my other door red, started working on all the BLACK trim work outside.



Basically everything that you see BLUE will be BLACK! We wont have the Vinyl siding for some time however this black painting NEEDS to get done and would rather help Jeff do it now when I can then watch him do it while I have 3 kids :)

As for our grocery challenge..we did not go out to eat nor did I go to the Grocery store...

Breakfast: French Toast(Jeff cooked AGAIN)

Lunch: kids had hotdogs, cheese and apples! Jeff had chicken patties, and I had corn dogs

Dinner: Spaghetti with homemade meat sauce, and some texas toast

Dessert: Left over Apple pie from last night made from scratch of course ;)

27 weeks!

Some lady told me I looked like I was about to have the baby soon in CVS today..I almost cried! I do not think I look that big! She tried to say its because I am carrying so low...I always carry low..so bite me :)

Here I am at 28 weeks prego with Aubrey... I dont think I am that much bigger :(

Stockpile...

While getting ready for the All you challenge I went through my cabinets, cupboards and stockpile...

I threw out expired, found a TON of stuff I've been looking for, got a hold on what I have and what I need! It looks great :)

The only thing I can foresee us needing more of(within the next 12 months) is...

Laundry detergent
maybe face wash
My clinque make up

All You grocery challenge

I joined the all you grocery challenge...what a weak challenge..

"Think you can spend $25 per person in your family per week on groceries? "
"Along those lines, here are some other rules:

* During the contest, groceries that you purchase count toward your weekly total. However, feel free to grow, barter or use stockpiled food to supplement your meals. Creativity and ingenuity count!
* If you eat at a restaurant or buy takeout, the cost must go toward the week’s total.
* Household supplies and toiletries do not count toward each weeks total.
* Save receipts–you will be required to submit them if you are a finalist."

I plan on NOT eating out ONCE! I also plan on using up a lot in my stockpile :)



Today we had cereal for breakfast, hot dogs and corn dogs with chips for lunch, and chicken patties and chips for dinner(can you tell I took the day off of cooking and who was in charge lol)

I did not spend a penny!

Basically I have to spend around 100 a week or less on food for the kids, Jeff and I! I will be updated my daily shopping/meal plan every night :)

My CVS sunday

I had NO ECB and I wanted to get the school supplies since they would be cheap and GREAT for crafting!!
