Exploring in the field


The kids had a great time exploring in the field. 




Group shots of these three are just comical...none of them will sit still long enough for me to take a picture



My DAY in one picture

I will say this picture describes my day!  Evan just goes with the flow and Mason and May May butt heads!  You see Maddyson does flow directions pretty good and I told the kids to sit so I could take their picture.  Well you see Maddyson  wanted to show a little affection and Mason being a strong minded little boy doesn't think this is such a good idea!  Evan is like, "lets just get this done so we can go outside." I thought this was funny...All three are good most of the time! 

These little ones LOVE their boots!

While I was away

  We went on our annual New Years ski trip and it was a nice trip.  While I was away on my trip a magical elf came into my house and went up into my art room!  When I came home I  felt like I was on that show while you were out!  What a transformation! 

Let me go back a little...my art room has been a slow project for me and slowly I'm getting it to look the way I want it too.  DD made me some awesome vintage looking tables to replace the fold up tables I had up in my room.  He did that for my birthday last year.  I have the best country table as my desk! I love old vintage things.  A few months back my girlfriend Meghan helped me reorganize my room.  We changed the furniture around so it would make more since and give me more storage and then DD helped me put the new tables in. 

So now back to my magical elf!!  While I was away skiing this elf came in and cleaned and organized the rest of my  art room! Let me tell you it was a HUGE mess...I had piles of things everywhere that made since to me, but I really didn't know how to go about organizing and cleaning it.  When it comes to organization I'm lost...I do my best, but it's not great.  This magical elf bought some really awesome vintage milk  crates and organized some items and DD bought me some glass(with out me knowing) to go on top of my desk so I wouldn't ruin my Dad's table while I work. I had a clear shower certain on the table before the glass. He said," that shower curtain was terrible looking!"  I knew it was, but I didn't have anything else at the time to protect my table!! 
Well I have to say I'm totally speechless on how my room looks now...I just want to sit in my room and not be bothered!!  I can not wait to get back into my scrapbooking!  I hope to be able to work on something this weekend. 

Come to find out the magical elf was my friend Meghan!  She was VERY sneaky about it all!  This was one of the best gifts ever!  The best part about it is she knows my taste and how I like my stuff stored.  I just can't say what an awesome present this was.  You totally ROCK Meghan and I love you very much! 
Here are some before and after pictures of  My art room.

AFTER...Organized and cleaned! 





I do know how hard and how long you worked on this room Meghan and I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart!!  I'm just so very excited to have my room all cleaned and Organized!  I feel I can work now and start adding all the little things I love.  Like that picture you took and framed for me!
