For months I have been telling Bry that I was going to make or buy a shelf for the giant wall we have going downstairs. He told me to wait and he'd make one. We have been focusing all of our creative energy on finishing the downstairs and so the aesthetics of the main floor have been at a stand-still. I was going to work on my own shelf, but my lovely hubby made one for me for mother's day. The shelf idea was to hang the girl's pictures on and if you notice the larger fram at the end of the hall - that was part of the stair/wall fix up. Ideally, the picture will be of our family, but we didn't have a photo big enough landscape...we had this cute one of Laeni, so there you have it.
On top of the shelf will look nothing like you see in the photo, Bryan wanted to put something up there, so he gathered what he could find. I am in the process of making blocks that spell out Family. Photo to eventually come...
In addition, we painted an accent wall the same color as the shelf and so that meant I needed to white wash the mirror frame that was there. I'm happy about the "re-model" of the family room.
Here are my little cuties sleeping - the pride of my motherhood :) I LOVE these little dolls and feel so grateful that they are growing with us! Every night I want to get a picture of them sleeping cause they are so stinkin' cute, but here is just one of each of them. Tori as she's in bed for the night and Laeni taking a nap.
We went to the aquarium last week and got a few pics of the adventure. It was fun.
It's SO FUNNNNNNNN being a mom. Hard, yes, but mostly fun and silly and rewarding and happy and giggly and tickley and all the other good stuff in between. Only hard to correct bad behaviors that crop up.
Happy Mother's Day to me because it is "HAPPY-NESS!"
