High Five For Friday!

Happy Friday Everyone!

So today I would like to start with my Birchbox!

1. I got Dry Shampoo (still waiting to use it), Sun Screen Wipes, Harvey Price Perfume (love it), Three flavors of tea, and a Bright Teal Nail Polish. I would love to put a picture up of my really cute nail polish, but my camera is dead and I am doing a two day expo with J. Bella clothing.

2. My husband having Friday and Saturday off! This is a real treat and rarity being a Railroader so I will enjoy it!

3. It is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints General Conference weekend! This is where we watch 4 sessions on t.v. of some of the greatest leaders of our church, including President Thomas S. Monson give us spiritual enlightenment and strength to hold our standards high and be good people. 

4. Lilly being almost able to walk! She wants to take a step and then falls... we are getting there.

5. I have made the decision to run 2, yes 2, 5k's this year. One is at the end of April and the other is in the middle of May. Bring it on Baby!

Happy Weekend to All and see you Monday!

Internet Down/Toddler Bed Mix Up

So I did not have internet the last day and a half. So my Monday post had to wait. But... you know those weekends where you have this one great project in mind to do? And tell everyone about it? Like on your blog... Yeah. My cute wall post is going to wait a couple of days. Because, other projects came up in between. 

And I mean plural projects. I had 3 projects I was working on this weekend and only one got done. And that was the yard with all of our new seeds and little trees and weeding and lawn fertilizing... so you can see why that took priority. 

Then I started on Isaiah's toddler bed. I got it at the Idaho Youth Ranch about a month ago for $6. But, it was only the head and foot board. Which I thought would be a great project for me to do and it is time for him to move out of the crib. (We have two kids in cribs right now). 

So we got all the supplies from Home Depot we needed, including MY new toy. 

Yes, it is a sander. Oh baby. 

Then when we started taking more measurements we realized that the head and foot board are for a Twin size bed. But we will be making a few small cuts and drilling a few holes, and then we will have the Toddler bed! But due to weather and spring cleaning and the like, it is on hold on the back porch until tomorrow. Where we will begin painting!

I started with the "spindles" inside the boards and they took forever!

I used an 80 grit paper for the sanding because they were really dirty and the paint was white, but rather old. And like I said, it took me 2 hours and when I finally finished it was time to get the kids in bed, plus the daylight was fading. I was doing it on my back porch due to the fact that we don't have a garage. 

This is what I looked like half way through: (Yes, those were black sweats)

I will be showing more pictures as we near the finish line of the Toddler Bed! And stay tuned tomorrow... my birch box came!

Friday Good News!

Happy Friday to everyone! It is a bit late in the day... 4 pm... but it is still Friday!

And Steve is on a new schedule where he is off on Friday's and Saturday's. Yahoo!

But, today marks a great and stupendous occasion...

I bought Lilly's last can of formula today! Small tear that my "baby" is almost one. Big jump of excitement because no matter how you look at it, milk is cheaper than formula! Not that I mind buying formula because she needs it, but the savings are great. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend preparing for almost summer (since Spring started officially a couple of days ago). We will be working with our yard and hoping for no more snow. (Here it can snow in May). 

And Monday I will be back with a cheap and fun and quick design idea for your play/media room.

Long live the weekend!
