Table project

I plan to do some built in furniture at a later date, but until then I need a functional space for coats, shoes and mail. I found these inexpensive pieces at Hobby Lobby and gave them a coat of paint so they would match.  I love to paint stuff, this was a fun easy project.



I did add a spray on clear coat after the paint. 










I just need some art for the wall and a little chair and I will be set. 
Kai's shoes are in one basket and June's are in the other side. This 
is convenient since Kai can put on her own shoes now and she can
 put them away.  




Sunsets


We recently moved into our forever home and I am learning all things about the house that you don't learn when you are doing a walk through.  I have learned that this house has amazing sunsets. They are so pretty and I am thankful for this nice surprise and lifetime of sunsets from this porch.

Kai's 3rd Birthday

 I remember when I worked at a daycare and 3 was always my favorite age. They were funny and cuddly and mostly sweet. Kai, you are 3 now and I feel like you are all those things, but more. You are sweet to the core. You are funny to the max. I love the things you say such as,  "that makes my heart sooo happy." You like to play catch outside, but your favorite thing is to watch movies and any art. I limit the movies to a few week. You were very excited to get Big Hero Six for your birthday, it's currently your favorite movie. You are incredibly smart. You can count to the teens and know your ABC's. You love school and sing all the songs now when I watch you at your school plays. Kai you are amazing and I love you. Happy 3rd birthday my amazingly brilliant,  sweet, funny, lovable, Kai. You are the best.

The Chocolate Treatsie box

I know I have written about Treatsie before but I have to say again how wonderful these boxes are to get in the mail. It is one of my favorite presents. As everyone knows I have a sweet tooth and these boxes were made for me. I get so excited every time one of these boxes shows up on my door step.

Kai's art

Kai was very excited about her toilet paper art she created. I did not have the heart to tell her that art will probably not stick around.

Elsa the snow queen

Kai loves to dress up as Elsa right now. She asks to put her on Elsa dress every morning and I let her because why not, she is cute as Elsa. It was snowing a little this day, so I took her outside for about 2 minutes and snapped a few pictures. Then she said she was cold and wanted to go inside. She may not make it as a snow queen.
