Painting, Scrapbooking & Princesses

Well I have always wanted to get rid of the honey oak in my house. It just wasn't my style. I have always wanted to change them and so I finally did! I started last week and just finished the banister. It was a ton of work but totally worth it. Next up: kitchen cupboards! The girls were really good about it and even Sammy told me it was pretty!

Before picture (well I had kind of already started but it's the only one I got)

After picture (taken 5 minutes ago)

Next up: Scrapbooking. Last weekend my friends and I did another scrap sleepover and it was so fun. I got 11 pages done and even got 4 hours of sleep (yes, we stayed up until 4 am). Good company, good food, good scrapbooking and so RELAXING. We then decided that we are going to do this quarterly. So if anyone is up for the challenge, we would love to have you join us. April can't come soon enough!
This picture is after Tiffany took her 16 pages home with her!

Yesterday: playgroup. Sammy loved it. Her three bestest friends came over with most of their siblings (we missed you Carter) and they had a blast! Ryder was the only boy and a little outnumbered but he didn't mind when all the girls wanted to play dress ups. And can you believe we had enough dressups for all 6 princesses!

And even Maddie had fun!
So that is what we have been doing in a nutshell the last two weeks!
