Easter Bunny & Church

I am going to split our Easter posts up this time so I can include all our fun pictures.

First, well I guess this is really my second post of Easter, but here we have our Easter Bunny goodies:

 and a sleeping 'bunny'.

yay! He has risen!!! And the Easter Bunny hopped on over here to share the good news!!!

 Family Easter pictures in our special Easter outfits! He cleans up nice doesn't he?

Now off to Kaki & Wolfie's house! Let the Easter festivities continue!

Easter at Mimi's

Blakely got to spend the night with Mimi last night and had and I quote 'the best night EVEEEER'. She loves her Mimi so very much. It brings me such peace to see there bond. 

We loaded up Parker man this morning and headed over there for the day. Little did I know or expect for such fun Easter presents for everybody...including Clint and me! Thanks Mimi-we LOVE everything!

 We then dyed eggs. I love this tradition at Easter-really I love any tradition.

 Blakely wore her Easter crown, apron and diaper. As long as she is happy, I am happy! =)

 She didn't much like having to wait on the eggs to be ready.

 and loved stacking about 4 in each cup...

Tomorrow we are headed to church and then to my side of the family for an egg hunt and yummy food!

Project Master & Fence

We are in the midst of some remodeling...It has been a bit more stressful than I had imagined! Every little thing that we check off our list makes such a difference! So far we have re-done the master bath & taken up mounds of ivy in the backyard & put up a fence for the kiddos and Zizi. 

I am trying VERY hard to stick to my 'one project at a time' rule... I made a list of everything that we are wanting to do and it filled up two entire pages. 

Here are our first two projects checked off =)

Here we have our Teeeeny Tiny master bath...so tiny in fact that it is nearly impossible to get a shot. I'll have to describe it in words-

*bathroom floor -brown and tan tile & really gross

*toilet: um really really gross

*all silver bathroom fixtures were super duper gross

*sink-I can't even put this into words...

*shower-i showered in here once & that is when we made the decision that this would be project #1...

 gutted & sheetrock in place.

 and the finished product:

and this is what the master bedroom looked like from previous owners:

 and after:

I couldn't find any curtains that I liked so I drug my mom to the fabric store and stitched these right up. I.am.in.LOVE.

Backyard: Oh where do I start? This project might just kill me. I have learned over the past few months that I am apparently have an enormous ivy allergy. Not just poison ivy-English ivy. So yeah-Not sure how long this little project is going to take. I've moved on to the front yard for now...now that the fence is up. I am desperately trying to ignore it.

Before:

and after...

Today was spent painting Blakely's room. Now all that is left to paint are the den, hall bath & Parker's room. Also, all of the closets and inside the kitchen cabinets need to be addressed but I'm saving all that fun stuff for way on down the list. I am simultaneously attempting to attack the front yard as I said before because I want to have flowers planted and beautiful for the spring. While I'm working in the yard I keep wanting to go ahead and change out our front door & paint the shutters. Also, seriously debating painting our house white. 

I painted the kitchen and needed to finish that before moving on to Blakely's room-not really sure what happened there. Two walls are currently blank and I want to paint our little rolling island. I know what I want to do on those walls but here again we have some major projects that they entail. 

May I just throw out there that I had no idea how hard even the smallest of projects are when you are trying to be a full time stay at home mommy. I'll just go ahead and admit that A LOT of my work is very sloppy these days. I've had to seriously kick the perfectionism side of me to the curb.
