The everyday...

Well, we've-and by we've I mean Brandon has completed our first fix as a homeowner. The garbage disposal was old and corroded so we needed to replace it. After a few new swear words, a couple of days and several trips to Lowes, it's installed and not leaking!! Yay!! No, it really wasn't that bad, just a little frustrating, it's never as easy as the Lowes staff may make you believe, "yep that's ALL you need, just take off the old one and put on the new one".

Anyway, moving on, Allie had a doctor's appointment Tuesday morning and she's doing magnificent. She's 19 lbs. and 29 1/2 inches long. She's in the 50th percentile for weight and the 95th for height!! She's a tall one:) She didn't get that from me that's for sure. Later that afternoon we went to see the elephants and Madison really enjoyed it, but surprised us when the men were handing out popcorn and she ran! Are you kidding me?!? Free popcorn, Madison running, something is not right. Luckily mom jumped in there and grabbed a box. Unfortunately it was a little crowded but thanks to a tall dad she was able to see the elephants from his shoulders and all was well.

Our bathroom has been bothering me because I just haven't gotten it the way I wanted it. I had put it off since we're the only ones that see it. When we moved in I bought a cheap little over the toilet cabinet since we were lacking in storage for all of my "girly stuff". I really don't like it , it's cheap and ugly and just made the small bathroom feel even smaller. So... I did what I do best and rearranged some things, put up a new shower curtain, bought new towels and made a few things for the walls and I love it! I think it looks much better. Since I do need the storage I moved the cabinet into our closet (and it actually looks nice there and no one will ever see it) since it's HUGE so I still have the storage and the bathroom the way I want it. Oh-and (I know some of you will roll your eyes) I cleaned the shower!! It wasn't horrible but me being the clean freak I am it wasn't to my standards. Have you met the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser?????? Because I have and I'm in l.o.v.e! It's like a brand new shower!! That Magic Eraser cleaned it up SO well. If you don't have one, get one, you won't regret it:)

Lastly we went to the circus today!!! It was so much fun! Madison loved it:) She even rode an elephant. But, it's getting late and I'm tired so I'm going to save that bunch of pictures for tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a look into the past couple of days!

Allie enjoying some sweet potatoes while dad fixes the disposal.

Madison helped too!

I had to get a shot of the mess, I mean progress.

I finally took a picture of Allie's room with all three balls.

I didn't do it!
Allie doesn't look like she's up to anything does she??!!


THE ELEPHANTS!!

Allie's giving it a thumb's up!

Thank goodness for a tall daddy.

Mama and Allie!


OUR BATHROOM

I made this for the bathroom. I had everything for it here at the house. It was super easy. I have always liked this saying about marriage so I made it in word, printed it out, then put some fabric behind it and put it in the frame. Really it was so easy and free!

I also made this. Same thing as I did with the other one, I just made it in word and then printed it on cardstock. Then, I had some glass that I had leftover from the memory board projects I did for the girls several months back. I had the glass cut into 8x10 pieces. I simply modpdged the paper to the glass and hung using the Command poster strips. Viola!

There you have it!!
