So Not Crafty

Today as Ross and I were strolling around the produce section at Kroger we came across a bag of mini pumpkins. Ross inisisted (of course) that we needed them for the house. I agreed and we bought a bag. While on the way home I then had the bright idea that we should get some paint pens to decorate the little pumpkins so off to Hobby Lobby we went.

Little did I know that a small pack of 4 paint pens would cost me about $15.99. Good grief! That's a ridiculous amount of money especially for something that I'm just doing for fun AND not very good at might I add!

So we found a small package of clearance paint brushes ($4.99) and some paint ($2.99) and headed home. Aren't I just the bargain shopper!

Our tools

Nice brown pumpkin...

And the finished product..

So as you can tell from the end result I have absolutely no skills when it comes to painting or being crafty. Oh well, at least we had fun!

Oh and on a side note...I'm very happy with myself that dinner is in the crock pot already. Usually we are deciding around 5:00 just what we are going to cook. I'm trying to be better in that department.

Have a great day!!!

Cowboy in PJs

Just a couple of pictures of Ross that have no real purpose. He came out last night and decided he needed to have his picture taken.

Showing off..

Posing

He also came out the night before last and asked Wes and I this question...."Hey you two fuzzbutts, what are you doing?" Nice, huh? Already calling his parents fuzzbutts. Not good...but yet still hilarious!

This One's for Val

And everyone else too I guess!! I've just been trying to tell Val lately about all the cool new things I had gotten to do with my house. I thought I would dedicate an entire post so I can show them all!

My new headboard and pillows

My new chaise

New vases

New picture that I've been wanting for a year now!

New lamp courtesy of Mimi (not sure why it's underlined)

Wes' new chair

New coffee table/ottomans

I finally hung the large photo collages

Bye!!!! Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Sick Day

Well, I guess I'm going to be one of those bloggers that post multiple times in one day. With Ross being sick today (and yesterday for that matter) we've had a fun time of watching Nick Jr. all day and blowing his nose every 5 minutes. Thankfully there has been no fever and he still runs around like a wild man so it hasn't slowed him down at all.

Note the dried snot.....

Have a good day!!!!

First Day of Preschool

I know that Ross' first day of preschool this year was a few weeks back but I thought I would share a couple of the pictures that I took of him before we left.

He insisted on having his hair fixed that day...

Pretty cute, huh? He's sporting his new tennis shoes that he says make him run "real fast"!

First Time Blogger

Well, I've decided to join the rest of the world and start blogging. I thought with all of the funny and interesting things that happen around my house (with Ross) that I could certainly post a blog about it every other day or so. Also I thought this might be nice for the grandparents and other family that we live away from so they can see their "precious boy" almost daily! Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions on how to make this more interesting!
