Labor Day Weekend-Spring Cleaning!



I dedicate this post to Monica Coates, who showed me pinterest.com. The website inspired me not just to look into decorating styles for Kendra's bedroom, but doing so many different crafts & organizing my house. So since I happened to have a four day weekend, we rearranged the bedrooms, and in doing so we completely vacuumed every inch of all three kids' rooms. We organized closets, including ours! Everyone got a complete dusting from fans to window sills. I know spring has long gone, and we are soon heading into fall (even though it's still 110 degrees outside) but we finally did the spring cleaning and even donated 2 1/2 huge black garbage bags!


I also started in on some craft projects as well. The dollar store is amazing and I bought a ton of bins for Robbie's room. I also tried my hand at making my own apothecary jars. I love them to decorate with, and they are beautiful to fill during parties, yet so expensive. I thought I was so thrifty at finding them at Ross and Marshalls for $6-$15, but pinterest.com showed me that I could make my own for just a few $! Here's a pic of my Dollar store finds. Tons of bins, my jars, small plastic bins to organize a drawer, and I couldn't pass up on nail polish stripers.

I bought some small jars at the dollar store, but then I went to the Goodwill and hit the jackpot! With a creative eye (my husbands), I put small wine glasses upside down as lids for the jars. Now I have large jars too! I bought 5 jars with lids for $10! Now I can't wait for a party so I can show it off.

The finished project-all decorated!

Robbie's football season preview

I'm in the process of making a football cd for each of the boys with all my photos & film. We are so excited to begin football season 2011. Here is a preview of what Robbie's looks like so far. Remeber to pause the music down below as this video has it's own tune! video

Photo's from the games!

It's been awhile since I last posted. Here's some photo footage of the MM Forces against the Coyotes and Bulldogs. We won our last game against the Six Shooters and are still undefeated! More to come about that game later.

Another game-another Saturday-another win!

It's another Saturday again to wake up at the crack of dawn & stay all day down at the field in 115 degree heat. The boys both won their games against the Cardinals. Robbie's team was something like 40-0. Here's how it all went down for Robbie:
