Where I Found Him

I was being a good homemaker, putting away Owen's laundry. He was being too quite in the bathroom so I peeked around to corner to see what trouble he was into and this is where I found him...

It's Up!

Frame is up! Just waiting on the decal to arrive.

Project Update

Since it finally got above 50 degrees I was able to finish painting and lacquering the huge frame.

Next steps are to paint a large apple green rectangle on the wall in the stairwell, install the "french cleat" on the frame and wall and hang the frame. So excited! I also ordered a vinyl wall decal of a TREE on Etsy, but it is shipping from Istanbul, so I am a little worried it is going to take forever to get here! The tree is going in the middle of the green framed rectangle.

Birthday at the Flight Museum

Owen celebrated our friend Grady's 2nd birthday at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. It was our first time at the museum and owen LOVED it.

Future Pilot?

S-N-O-W in D-Town

Does it snow in Dallas? DUH!

We had a ball playing in the snow during our long "snow day" weekend.

I think Avery enjoyed it more than anybody.

Snowmen, sledding, snow angels and snow balls a plenty...I am ready for summer.

Owen the Builder

Owen, thank you for making me laugh everyday!

PROJECT

My mom and I always joke that my dad always needs a "project." Well, I can admit that the apple does not fall far from the tree. I am a "project" person too, I usually have a couple going on at a time and mostly they revolve around our house. Currently I am working on some art (not sure if you can really call it that) for the wall in our stairwell.

My boss, Mindy, found this HUGE frame (6 feet X 7 feet) at an estate sale and did not have a place for it in her house, so I happily took it off her hands. Stage one of this project, I thought, was spray it with primer, but I found that it was super dirty. So I got to scrubbing and now I have to wait for it to get above 50 degrees so I can spay the primer, who knew spray paint does not work in 30 degree weather???

More PROJECT posts to come :)
