Veggie Tales

I always dreamed of having a house one day where I could paint the walls and pick out my furniture. That day has come, and I'm like a kid in a candy store - except it's not quite how I'd imagined it. I'm like a kid in a candy store who can't make up her mind because she's too afraid of making the wrong choice. I had a jalepeƱo jelly bean once and I've never looked at candy the same again.

So if you have any decorating tips, hear of any good deals, etc. I'm in the market for a living room, a dining room, and a master bedroom.

At home, it's life as usual. The kids have been loving their new play room and are at a good age for keeping each other entertained. Meanwhile, I try to unpack, organize, and put away as fast as I can. We only have a few boxes left!!

Here's Kelsey and I enjoying our healthy snack (she LOVES all these foods , which makes me so happy - I was such a picky eater).

Notice there are only a few tomatoes left and I had barely set it out

Here's the daunting task ahead of me: THE OFFICE



It's become the dumping ground for all the things that need more time to be organized. It also houses our smaller garage sale items. 


This is how I feel about it

Grandma, hurry and come into town - I NEED YOU!!
Luckily, I inherited the love of organizing from my grandma Lang and I am giddy to get this done. And to have pantry shelves put in (dad). ;)

We still only have one car (I got a car that I love, Mazda CX-9) so that means we've been waking up early to take daddy to work. Luckily, it's not a long commute. We are all healthy and happy, and feeling so blessed.

It's so fun to decorate a house - I love the paint colors at Restoration Hardware. I bought testers there and then when I decided on my color (Bay Laurel) I took it to Kwal-Howell to get them to color match it. So much cheaper!

Have fun!!! Can't wait to see the finished product when we come up later this year.

Wish I could get my boys to eat more veggies. Anyhow, don't be afraid of color. When picking colors consider the light. It can make a huge difference on how the color looks. Also, I think Home Depot now allows you to buy pints which allows you to see if you like the color without the cost of a whole gallon. Good lUck!

I cannot wait to see! Can I drop by on Friday late morning? I'll be dropping Eden off and picking her up from right across the street for my OB appt.

I can't believe how much you've gotten done in such a short time! Hopefully you can pick out your furnishings soon... I'm the same way. I would hate to make the 'wrong' choice. :) Hope you love your Mazda... I know I love mine!

I talked with April. We'd like to get together soon. Elisabeth is out of school for the next two weeks. Could you get together some time in the next 2 weeks? I know you're busy getting your house ready, so if you'd like to come to my place that'd be fine with me. We live in riverton.
