Carter's new birth mark

Argh! I just finished typing out this entire blog post complete with captions on each picture and then Blogger did something lovely and it didn't save. Needless to say, I am out of blogging steam for now and so this post might be rather bland. Sorry.
Aaron and I completed a project that has been on the list since we moved into the house. Well, we do still need to put the trim back up, but who cares...


BEFORE:


AFTER:
We used Young House Love's tutorial and we are both happy with it.
We ran into a few set backs along the way, but it doesn't need to be perfect!





Remember how I said that the butterfly garden and ladybug land were totally worth the money? I'll say it again!

The one downer...Olivia stepped on her last butterfly (he wasn't a flyer) and it caused a lot of tears. But she had fun planning it's funeral.





Haylee loves the sand and often has gritty teeth for awhile after she's finished playing. Yum!





I make my bed everyday, but I often wonder why when this happens about 10 seconds after I'm done.





Carter is getting better with his art skills. He will even color by his own free will. (what four year old doesn't like to color? Mine.) I loved his dragon book that he made complete with several different types of dragons that he could describe in great detail.





Carter is a free man! He can ride a two-wheeler!



Learning to ride a bike doesn't come crash free though. (Yes, he did have a helmet on.)
