random awesomeness.

all kinds of pictures and information.
{prepare yourself}

random exhibit a:
I finished my new daughter's makeover.
{i named her claire}
she looks a little french to me.

Isn't she gorgeous?

But since ash and hals old dresser was a darling green, but wouldn't match macy's room, it got a coat of paint too.

I am in search of cute new hardware, but hooby lobby and home depot didn't work out.

any other suggestions?

This is super roomy for all of her stuff.

{no to mention that she can reach alot of it herself}

hooray for independence. :)

Exhibit b...

since we sold most of our old furniture

{and our family room is ghost townish}

we decided to change out some light fixtures.

{which led to some drywall repair}

{which led to 3 days of entire house drywall touch up}

Me and the kids we confined to my bedroom while Nacho did his handywork.

{yes his real name is nacho}

{although I mostly called him queso, nacho libre, or nach yo cheese}

{not to his face}

I came out after several hours of him working and saw a corner in a well trafficed area.

apparently he had to fix alot of kid damage.

{note that it is all under the light switch}

{i laughed for 5 minutes as I pictured the many, many incidents of car and trains "crashing" there}

sadly, this is not the only place where there is this much collateral damage.

boys!

random awesomeness exhibit c...

My Ashlinn turns 8 this month.

{holy crap a mole}

So, i took her for a quick photo shoot.

{where i took no less than 60 shots}

hoping that one would make her look like my tiny, chubby, baby girl again.

but alas, she is still 7 years and 11 months.

{and incredibly beautiful}

{if i do say so myself}

Time flies when we are having fun.
