Ta Da

The much needed and awaited for dresser.

Really its more of a night stand, but it will have to do for now.


I love paint. I am actually having a hard time not going through my house painting everything. I do have a list of things that are going to get it though.

And the distressing! I was a little distressed (hehe) about taking any of the paint off, but now I am glad I did. It has a nice antiquated look, and I have a great feeling of pride and accomplishment.


Next on my list (with no time constraint) are the toy chest, Keith's car table, the tv table, and anything else I can get my hands on!

So so cute!! Even cuter than I pictured it. I think I pictured it more yellow, this is much better.

Great job!

Way to keep busy! I once painted the drawers of one of our dressers and I wish I hadn't. But that's because I don't really know what I'm doing. And the dresser was laminate cork board so I had to use spray paint. Nick gets to have it in his office for now. But your dresser looks way better, good job!

I LOVE it! I love painting too, and sometimes all my list of projects becomes really overwhelming! What color did you use, I really like how it turned out!

May I Take Your Order, Please?

I know that young people must have jobs. They have to start somewhere, but really, there has got to be some sort of intelligence test or guidelines before hiring people. Really. We bought some crown molding a while ago. I thought we would have enough. Turns out, as we were getting ready to put it up, we found we are about 5 ln feet short. Just 5. How annoying is that? So, I called Lowes and ended up speaking with a young man (I am guessing hoping he was young). The conversation amazed me. Me: "Hi do you carry any Trim-Tex crown molding?" Lowes: "What's that?" "A brand of crown molding. We are a couple of feet short." "Is that like a brand of baseboard?" "Well, yeah, sort of. Crown molding is decorative wood strip that goes along the ceiling." "Oh, okay. So what kind of tile do you need?" "Tile?" "To go along the ceiling, right?" "Uh, I don't need tile. I need crown molding."

Vegetarians at the Barbecue

We don't see our friends as often as we would like.  Something about us being the only ones married and with kids.  Whatever.  So any chance to have them all come play is a welcome one.  Since Jeffrey just had a birthday, we decided to have a barbecue tonight. We are having a barbecue and we don't eat meat.  Kind of ironic, isn't it?  When I thought about it, this video came to mind.

Heavenly Presents

I was getting a little worried. The baby had not changed in her weight or height for a month. Not since the 22 of October. My midwife was a little worried. She said if there wasn't a change soon, she would have to induce me. Did you know I wanted to go natural? Absolutely completely natural. I wanted to start on my own, and be completely under my own will power. Hearing that she would have to start me sent a cold fear through my body. Evidently, my baby possibly had something called IUGR ( intra uterine growth restriction) which could cause a myriad of problems, the worst being a still birth. A still birth is one of my biggest fears. So yesterday I went in to get checked, praying that my body had changed, that it had dilated on its own. If it had she wouldn't have to start me. At the appointment she gave me a choice. I could either have the baby yesterday, or I could have her on Monday. We decided to have her yesterday. So we decided my midwife would break my wate
