Welcome to our Chaos!

To say we've been busy is an understatement. Every day is always full of appointment, confirmations, remodeling projects, etc. I think every day last week we had some sort of appointment, if not more than 1 a day!

On top of all of that, I'm trying to get ready for the kiddo's birthday party and get a head start on Easter (which is the weekend following their party). We also will be starting the rest of our kitchen remodel soon!

Adam has also been working a lot- he just got a raise and it sounds like he'll soon be getting a promotion and another raise- so, so excited and proud of him!

 Anyway, here a few pictures of our kitchen cabinet project. We used Rustoleum Cabinet Transformations, and although the process is long (it wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have kiddos running around) and a little tedious at times, we really like the outcome!

 The upper cabinets were done this way by the previous owners...

...and apparently they didn't feel like finishing the bottom cabinets.

This is what we did. We were going for a little bit of a distressed look. 

 ...and new hardware was an absolute MUST.

We are working on taking out some cabinets- we should have that done by the end of the weekend. I have two sections of cabinets to refinish, so I'm just waiting for nap time so I can work on it! We are really hoping to have the cabinets done by Friday!

Cashing in her Sticker Chart

Makaylin filled up her sticker chart! These stickers represent a lot of different things- sharing, taking turns, feeding the dogs, putting her dishes in the sink, etc. The last 2 rows are mainly potty training reward stickers- FINALLY! ;) 

She cashed in her chart for this princess fishing game. 

Crunching and Coloring

Ryker decided to dump his entire box of Panda Puffs on the floor. Then eat them. At this point, he hadn't really been eating, so if he was going to eat off the floor I was all for it! ;)

 Another day last week he was ALL about this coloring toy. The speed of the music changes based on how fast you're scribbling. He loved it!

Snooze

The kiddos playing with Play-doh.

I caught Ryker sleeping at his puzzle table. 

I'm thinking this was the day he decided to play in his room instead of take a nap! 

Valentine's Day

Just a few fun photos of what our Valentine's day was all about this year!

[Super Hero valentine's I made for Ryker's class]

The kiddos also got a small gift from Adam and I, but I didn't get a photo of them opening their bags! Ryker got a small train engine, bubbles, and some Reese's. Makaylin got a crayola stamper, bubbles, and a package of skittles. They both thought the gifts were so much fun!

Unfamiliar Sight

Here's a sight we don't see every day...

                                                                                 ...the kids playing together.

Lately

There is only one word to describe our days lately: hectic! I haven't taken too many photos in the last week or so, but here are a few I was able to snap today. :)
