Yellow....

I'm on a huge yellow kick! And until I get the money to reupholster my couch I need something yellow in my living room.

And if I can't have this couch right now.

Then I am going ti repaint our coffee table yellow I am over the redd. I loved it. But it's time for a change.

I just can't find the perfect shade of yellow. This isn't a decision you can just rush into. Have you ever sanded down furniture to paint it? Miserable! (Apparently you don't need to sand as much as I did, but I still don't enjoy it.)

All of my swatches! Sometimes I want to paint it green too. Can't decide.

But don't yellow accent pieces look amazing?!

Oh and I need this rug too! So many things!

Harlem Globetrotters

For Drew's early Valentine Present, I got us tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters.

I thought it would be a fun thing that neither of us had ever done. And after a mix up with our tickets we were banished up to the nosebleed section.

It was fun and entertaining. A little cheesey for out taste. But still fun. Probably won't be back until we have kids to enjoy it with. I thought it was going to be a little more on the super trick and acrobatic side.

Still a fun night with Drew. Can't beat that!

Pooches!

Just giving the people what they want! Pictures of our puppy dogs!

It's a Need... Not Just a Want!

I need to reupholster this couch...

To look like this couch!

I need....

I need...

NEED!!!!

Where a Kid Can Be a Kid!

I'm going to start this post off by saying Never Ever go to Chuck-e-Cheese on a Saturday night! It was a mad house! There were so many bodies packed into that place the air was almost edible it was so thick! But... If you go any other time you need to bring this coupon.

Pretty self explanatory why it's so amazing! This time we went wild and got this coupon times 3 so every one had 100 tokens each. It blew their minds! They kept coming to sit down because they thought they used all their tickets. And I would load them up again. One time Josh was so stunned he asked "Are you sure about this?".

Then they got down to business. I would go ahead and say this was the most successful trip to Chuck-e-Cheese we have taken.

Cashing in his tickets!

Total score. I was so proud!

We even made it out with a giant Tootsie Roll pillow! What 8 year old didn't want one of these?

Their Engaged!!!!

Nick proposed to his cute Katie today.

Katie's a 3rd grade teacher, and the kids are absolutely in love with her. Nick took her up to the front of the room. Asked her to marry him and she shouted "Of course!". Then the little boy in the front screamed "I've been waiting my whole life for this!". Katie said "I'm the luckiest girl in the whole world." and the same little boy stood up and yelled "Yes you are!!!" he loved it so much!

Then Katie came out of the room like a whirling dervish! Couldn't keep her still!

I couldn't be happier to have Katie as a sister!!! She is the greatest! We love you so much!

Think Nick's relieved she said yes? Way to go Nick! You did real good!

Dog Beds

Have you looked at dog beds lately? More specifically dog beds that will fit 2 ponies? Well I have. And they are EXPENSIVE! So I found some pool chair lounger pads (do you follow?) Now all I needed was a cover, seeing as how my dogs spend most of their days trying to figure out how to carry in as much dirt into the house as possible. So I spent a lot of time cruising around fabric stores and contemplating the meaning of a 'yard'. Anyway.... Turns out fabrics way expensive. Sooo... After I bought a new duvet cover for our bed I decided to use our old one for slipcovers for the dog beds.

I bought new pins that were super pretty! Pretty things always make projects more enjoyable. So I dusted off the sewing machine my granny gave me. Took a quick look at a YouTube video on how thread my sewing machine and I was off!

And they fit perfectly! With just a tiny bit of fabric left over!

So after all of my hard work to show appreciation to me the dogs stepped over the beds, and crammed themselves into Cleo's kennel.

Seriously?! Oh well! How cute are they? The Loooove each other!
