BaThRooM RenOvAtiOn... PhAsE #1....

Well.. I decided to change up my downstairs bathroom.... So I called Angela to borrow her wallpaper steamer.. and not only did I get the steamer..

I GOT HER!! FOR AN ENTIRE 12 HOUR DAY... I swear.. my friends are SAINTS. They go along with all my crazy ideas and are always willing to help.

The best part is that we LAUGHED the WHOLE time.. the day and the work flew by. Plus Ang is incredibly TALENTED and has a FLAIR for pulling the NUTTY ideas

out of my head and TRANSFORMING them into something that makes sense...

So.. without further ado... here are the BEFORE photos of my bathroom..

After I started ripping down some of it.

Under the Sea.. Continued...

Startin the day... the BIRTHDAY WAY!!

Hip Hip Horaay....

Caden is 7 today!!!!!!!

He started off his day with the traditional homemade birthday crown and placemat. Our family has been doing this for years. My mom would make a crown and placemat for each of our birthdays when we were growing up. I think I still got them as a joke a couple times in my 20's.. thanks mom for starting such a fun tradition. My kids look forward to them each time one of them celebrates. Caden also was presented with a stack of 7 pancakes.. complete with syrup, sprinkles and 7 candles.

Extreme Hula Hooping...

Some may say this is not a sport.. we disagree..
