Wordless Wednesday

 

 

Every morning she gets dressed like she is off to school for the day.

 

Minus the pants of course.

 

A Girl and A Dog wait for a Boy and a School Bus

Everyday Ashley and Chewie (Boston Terrier/French Bulldog) wait for JJ to come off of the school bus after a day at Kindergarten. 

They wait together in the window hoping to catch a glimpse of the big yellow bus. 

It is so sweet and melts my heart every single time.

DIY Baby Doll Bed Makeover

For Christmas this year I wanted to do a little bit of DIY mixed in with "new" things. I think that there can be beauty in used items if you look hard enough and have the time to fix it up.

Months back while scouring the shelves of the Goodwill I came across this baby bed. Now remember I have a just barely one year old daughter after having two boys so I am always on the hunt for girls stuff!! And all things PINK!!

When I saw it I knew it had to be mine hers. It had a few chips, discoloration and needed some TLC but for $4.99 I knew it would be perfect for her first baby doll bed. It is heavy wood (durable), low to the ground (she is only one) and the hearts on the sides put me over the top!

Here is the bed after I bought it, not so cute huh?

 See the $4.99 price tag! Also see the markings and chipped up paint?

Here is Ashley's sweet baby bed after I gave it some TLC, repainted it white, added some blankets and a bit of ribbon.

These pictures turned out kind of yellow, they were taken at night right before Santa came. (wink wink)

This Little Lady

This little lady of mine will turn one in less than a week. One! 

This year has gone by so fast. I want to freeze time and keep her under a year old just a bit longer. 

She has always been so sweet, gentle and darling but lately I am starting so see a little "spice" in her personality. 

She is smart, determined, cute and even a little bit sassy these days! And getting a picture of her is out of the question, she has better things to do then pose for her mama!

Oh my I am so not ready for my little girl to grow up. 

But on the other hand I can't wait to see the young lady she becomes.

No baby dolls for this little girl!

After having two boys you could imagine all of the excitement I felt when I found out we were having a GIRL!! I thought of all of the pink clothes, the pretty bows and all of the baby dolls we could play with. There are no baby dolls on this little girls agenda...at least not yet. For the life of me this girl will not play with "her" toys. She has baby dolls already and some pink girlie toys but so far all she does is play cars with the big boys. I know she is still a baby and "monkey see monkey do" and that is what she sees her brothers do all day. It is so funny to see her crawling around on one hand while the other is pushing a car or truck. Soon she will be playing dolls (or not and that is ok too) and think that the boys are too loud (at least I think they are) and I will be able to log in all of my baby doll playing hours. Until then I will enjoy watching Ashley playing right along side her big brothers.
