Meet my new friend spary paint

I have not blogged in so long I got on here to find my background is all messed up and I don't know how to do anything anymore! So please don't judge my ugly blog!
I have been working on redecorating my house, finally finding my own style

I bought this tray at Tai Pan and thought it was super ugly. Kinda looks like jelly fish right?

Nothing a can of spray paint and some modpodge can't fix! I kinda love it :)

I guess it is time for an update.....

My wonderful friend Jennilynn informed me last night that my blog is waaay overdue for an update so like a good little girl here I am updating.
We have had a lot of fun this summer spending our days at Roaring Springs, boating and spending the weekend in Cascade at our Cabin Lot. After all that fun we are making our way back into our normal schedule again.
Shelby just started 1st grade and she is loving it, she enjoys being there all day and eating lunch at school as well as the fact she gets to have 3 recesses.
Poor Toby is stuck at home with me all day. We have been attempting to do preschool at home but that isn't going to well. For any of you who know my Turbo I am sure you understand.
Ben is busy as always with work and working on cars on the side. He has finished most of our bedroom now, all we really have left is a vanity for our master bath.
I am 31 weeks pregnant and counting down the days now. We are having another boy, the kids are very excited. I have been attempting to work on my nonexistent sewing skills making some nursing cover ups that turned out cute, burpers that were cute until I washed them and they shrunk a little more then I had hoped and now quilts which are about stressing me to tears.
I am just trying to keep myself busy to pass the next two months until this little guy gets here. I think we are all more then ready to see him and have him in our home.

Almost done

I am almost done with Shelby's dollhouse. It has been fun to work on after the kids go to bed. I think I have more then enough furniture now it is just time to get get some more people and maybe a car finish with little details then just wait for Christmas and hope she loves it.

Making progress again.

Today we passed our last inspection on the addition until the final! Yea!!!! Now the really fun part starts. Siding went up last Tuesday and today the first piece of dry wall was hung.
I will have to post a picture of that tomorrow when we get a little more up (actually Ben will put the dry wall up while I help out by keeping the kids out of the way). We are just so excited to be making progress again and it is fun to see the big changes going on now with the dry wall and siding going up.

Your life's gonna change.

I told Ben the other day I think it is funny when you have your first baby everyone keeps telling you "your life's gonna change...." and they always say it in a really annoying voice. I always felt like responding like "Yeah you moron we are having a baby". Well for me it didn't feel like such a huge change I just had this little thing I took everywhere with me that pretty much slept all day. So you have this little person entertaining you (or annoying) all the time for five years then all the sudden they go off to school. Dude now my life has really changed. I kinda feel old I have kids in school that is weird.

As expected Shelby LOVES school. I asked her the other day what her favorite part of school is and she said "riding the bus". I should have guessed. Her bus comes at 12 o'clock so everyday she goes out and starts waiting around 11 then I have to bribe her to come back in for a little while longer. I am glad she finds joy in the simple things.

Dollhouse creations

These are my kitchen chairs still have to make a table and my couch.

Doll house furniture.

I am making Shelby doll house furniture to go in the house my mom got her for her birthday in December. This is the bad for the master bedroom.

And here is the little couch to go with it.

I burnt the crap out of my thumbs but I am pretty happy with what I got so far.
