Come On In!

It's May 12th.

May.

Do you see what's on the ground?

un-hunh.

The yahoos were hopin' for a snow day today--

for the record,

I was not

hopin' for a snow day~

~The clouds are so low

that you can't see the Rampart Range

like normal,

but it's right there~

~Our rainy night

turned icy.

We were told we could

end up with a foot of snow-

so freakin' glad we didn't!

~So I was taking pictures of outside

and on a whim decided to

click some inside pics

of some details of my house~

 

 

~I like bringing the outdoors In,

so I have the yahoos go out and cut some pine pieces for me

to put in a vase--

they last a long time

smell great

and they're

FREE!~

I just painted last week--

I'll post before an afters

when I'm all done--

but for now,

the walls are Sherwin Williams "wheatgrass" color

( did you know Dutch Boy from Walmart

is the same exact paint as Sherwin Williams?

 It is, and it's cheaper!)

okay,

and the brown is Dutch Boy's

"Chocolate Truffle"

I love it.

The hole in the wall

is too narrow to place a TV in it,

so I found the gorgeous fern

and there ya go.~

I have found the fabric I want to make floor to ceiling curtains from--

Waverly makes it,

so I'll make those next week probably.

I looked EVERYWHERE for the right fabric

and finally decided on one.

Do your kids hate fabric stores as much as mine do?

Hey, if I have to go to the Toy Aisle,

for the billion-th time,

they can go with me to JoAnns.

I have a thing for pinecones.

I would have to seek professional counselling

to find out why

but I'm not really concerned

about my obsession

that much

to know the answer.

One of my fav art peices from Dani

before her mission--

there's actually a story behind this--

wanna hear it?

If not, just skip this part to the next picture.

So Dani was thinking about going on a mission--

and we were having a Missionary Fireside

at our home,

at the end of the fireside,

different folks were sharing their testimonies,

and Dani stood and shared hers,

and at the end,

she announced that she'd turned in her mission papers.

Sucha sweet surprise!
Then, on Christmas eve that year,

she presented me with this beautiful picture.

ta-da.

Say What plate on the fridge

Pot Roast for tonight.

I don't wanna cook

because when Mr W gets home,

I'm going to my first ever

ZUMBA class at the YMCA!
I am so stinkin excited to try it!

I love to move it move it!

~Flowers I received on Mother's Day

from Daisie~

One of my Mother figurines...

I've had this For.ev.er.

So that's it for today.

I've got things to do

places to go

people to see!

Have a Great Day!

I hope it's not snowing where you are!!
