It’s my birthday so don’t forget to leave some birthday wishes for me!

I think having my birthday on a Monday kind of sucks. Monday’s are always harder with the boys because they are detoxing from the weekend and having dad around to play with. But, something amazing is happening right now. They are acutally playing together. And by playing I mean Connor is throwing a pillow at Logan and Logan is screeching. Then Logan crawls away and Connor chases him and throws the pillow again. They are both cracking up. If my video camera were charged up I would take some video of their laughter. It’s music to my ears.

Tonight my brother and sister-in-law are going to pick up the kids so Derek and I can go out. I’m not sure exactly what we are going to do. Possibly go to a movie, definately go out to dinner, maybe some shopping…we’ll just have to see what I am in the mood for when 5:30 rolls around!

So, I’ve been thinking that I need to post some pictures of the house, but I’ve been waiting until the rooms are put together somewhat. I finally printed off some new pictures for frames this weekend and also did a little bit to the dining room. Every day this week I will post some pictures of our house. Now, be warned…I can make the dining room and the living room look pretty nice. And even the kids rooms, although they aren’t decorated, are pretty well organinzed. But they master bedroom…you will see…it’s a MESS!

So the room of the day today is the dining room.

Notice the little fireman under the table. The pictures on this wall are some that my little brother took. I love them!

That is the cabinet that I bought from Ikea and stained black. It’s where all my scrapbook stuff is. I still need to spray paint the baskets black so the match a little better.

So there you have it. My dining room.

And while, I am sharing pictures I thought I would post these, too. Just because I think they are cute.

I bought Connor this helmet for his new bike, but he doesn’t really like the bike yet. It’s a little big. But he sure does love his construction hat helmet! He wears it all the time.

Connor loves his new sandbox. And he is such a goofball. What is this face?

Out little Captain Disaster. But so cute.

What’s not to love about this face?
