The beginning of our basement renovation!

Okay, so it's not very professional, but I want to create a playroom for the girls and spruce up the entrance to the basement.  It's coming together and a little more inviting. I used what paint I already had among other things...now I am looking back asking why it took me 7 years to come up with this? So here goes...

So I don't have a before picture for this...but you can imagine a rusted railing, and chipped painted stairs to our side door that we never use...until now!  Yes, I was a painting machine and spruced up with side of our house too.  Now the kids love it and refuse to enter in through the front door.  So funny.  We even planted some winter panseys in "Hailey's flowerpot." Hailey has her own so she can take care of her animal friends as well as the garden fairies...she's doing a great job.

1st Day of Fall 2012

What can I say, other than the 1st day of fall is absolutely beautiful! (even though my girls want to watch Christmas movies today).  Hailey isn't feeling very well, but managed to play outside and enjoy the weather for a little while...and of course get a few pics of the kiddos with our glamorous glittering pumpkins...so girly! Some other accomplishments this week...Hailey read the bedtime story 2 nights ago...might have been a "Dick & Jane" book, but mommy was so proud! Lindsey has taken on "spitting" which we are trying to break!  She also gets a big kick out of putting her mouth on mine or Chris' belly and blowing, followed by, "I pooted!!"  Yep, I think she might be our tomboy...  Hailey had the best attempt at getting Lindsey to try to stop spitting by saying, "Lindsey! Stop spitting or you're going to turn into a BOY!!"  Lindsey responded, "Oh noooo!" with her hands on her cheeks and hasn't att...
