Easter 2012

Fresh Paint

After browsing Pinterest all afternoon yesterday, I finally decided on what color I wanted for the accent wall in my living room. Gavin got home from work, I showed him the pictures I'd pinned, and he said, "Let's go to Home Depot". What a fabulous husband I have :) We went to Home Depot, got the paint & supplies we needed, came home, and stayed up half the night painting. I'm really happy with the results. We'll be re-freshing the rest of the white paint downstairs over the weekend. Amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do! (That big, white hole will eventually have our T.V. in it.)

 While I had my camera out, I snapped a few pictures of our new counter-height kitchen table that we scored at Furniture Warehouse's "going out of business" sale. We still need to find some chairs or stools. Maybe this weekend.

Pancakes, anyone?

Yesterday, while I was making my amazing Valentine's Day dinner (smashed chicken & wild rice, homemade rolls, and chocolate dipped strawberries), I left the pantry door open. Andrielle took advantage of this moment, found the new bottle of syrup, and dumped it out all over herself and my living room carpet. She got it all over her clothes, her face, her hair, and I'm finding it tracked all over the house. Thankfully, my mom owns a carpet steam cleaner and let me borrow it. On a happier note, Gavin brought me home the new Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 DVD for Valentine's Day. I love you, Gav!

A few pics

 Andrielle woke up from her nap in a really good mood and Grayden was being pleasant, so I decided to take advantage of the moment and snapped a few pictures. Andrielle has also started saying "Say Cheese" when I take pictures of her (that's why she looks a little silly in some of these - I caught her mid "cheese" lol).
