FINALLY!!!

After over three years of living in this house, Miah and I FINALLY got around to painting/decorating our bedroom!!!

We both hate painting more than most people hate it. We really hate it. And by really hate it, I mean REALLY hate it. I'd rather grocery shop than paint! Yeah, it's that serious. lol But we saw an idea years and years ago that we really liked on HGTV. Simple squares painted on a wall. Somehow it just caught both of our eye(s?)(lol) and we said we'd do that when we got around to doing our room.

Well, that time finally came last weekend! One of my most favorite color combo's is blue and brown, so that's the color scheme we went with. I have been searching for a bedding set for months now and never found one I liked, so I just went online to www.overstock.com and ordered everything separately. Everything! Nothing was a set, so it was kind of scary not being able to hold the colors of everything up against everything else, but fun at the same time. And thankfully, they all look great together and we LOVE the way our room came out!!!

Out of control plant.

I think I've posted a post on here with one of these little plants, but I can't remember. No, yes, I do remember, it's the post with the close-up pics of the lady bug found here and here is another refrence to this crazy, out of control growing plant and how fast it grows here.
I don't know what kind of plant this is, but it's going to be hitting my ceiling in a matter of days. And I have NOWHERE else to put it!!! Nowhere else in my house gets good sunlight because of the way my house sits and having no real windows in the front of the house, only in the back. Hmmmm, any ideas on where to put it? Would it wither and die without a ton of sunlight? It's a crazy plant, for sure!!!!!

My daugher is on the crazy side.

My little girl definitely has her moments. I'm one of the lucky ones though, neither one of my kids are hyper very often. They have their hyper times, but in general, are not hyper kids. Whew! I think I would literally (quite literally) go in sane if my kids were hyper. There's no way I could keep up!
But last night Taylor was having a hyper moment. I'm not sure what it was, but something was making her not sit still and just be up in everyone's business!! :) Of course I had to get my camera out when she started pulling herself along on the floor. LOL!

My baby grass

I am quite proud of my baby grass! Even though I've done absolutely nothing to it, except water it once or twice. :) It's so cute when it's sprouting, so feathery, but I can't wait until it gets thick! Let's hope it gets REALLY thick, I LOVE that kind of grass!!!!
Here's our progress so far....

Daisey and her (my) Snuggie and her (my) heating pad.

My little puppy loves heat. "Loves" is quite the understatement though. She adores it, craves it, HAS to have it - it's like her crack. :) When one of my very VERY dear friends got me a Snuggie, it quickly became "our" Snuggie because Daisey HAS to share it with me. Now she's learned of a heating pad. She can't get enough. She lays on it (shown above) and UNDER it! (shown below) She cracks me up. I turn it off quite a bit though, because I'm afraid she'll cook herself. ;) hehe
Daisey is my silly, sweet funny puppy. :)

Yummmmmmmmm

I LOVE smores. Love love love them!!!! We went camping over the 4th of July weekend and I got SO sick from eating so many. I think I had 4!!! LOL!!!!
One of Tay's friends at school gave her a white chocolate peppermint smores kit for her birthday. We made a few the other night and they were SO good! I didn't know if I was going to be a fan of the peppermint in them or not, but it worked! It was SO yummy! Especially with the chocolate graham crackers!!!!!
And making smores in the oven was fun. I had NO idea how much the marshmallows would puff up. They looked like they were going to explode! LOL! But they started deflating as soon as I took them out of the oven, which is a bummer because I didn't get a picture of them all huge. But they stayed pretty big for the picture anyway. :)



YAY for smores!
