Best pumpkins ever!

I found another great way to let the kids decorate pumpkins. Yes we still paint them 2-3, or even 4 times before Halloween but this year we even "carved" faces into them. No mess No fuss. took 3 minutes (each time) and they look so great! So for $6 bucks at kings, we get to do it again next year!
Happy Halloween all!
More pics of this holiday soon to
come!

I have to say this was a fun job! It definitly would not as awesome as it is, if my mom and my sister did not come and do most all of the painting (I did the sun, I know, I know it's the best part!) thank you so much Mom and Darb!!!! so without further ado...

Farm bedroom update!

Wow, I didn't know how big of a project this was going to be! Me, being so impatient couldn't wait another 2 months for my sister so I figured I'd start the big stuff and then she could do the detail. So, here is what I have done so far. Don't worry, I plan on making it a bit more detailed. When I say me I mean Darby. :)


Lincoln was gone most of today so he didn't see the barn painted, his bed in the room, or the new carpet. (Boy, the carpet was a bugger to put in) Here is the video of his first look.






I'll post more pics of the finished product after Darby comes to visit! HURRY UP and get here!

Hard work, hard play


Aaron keeps telling me that Lincoln's room looks more like a cell than a little boys bedroom. I would have to agree! So I am doing something about it!
I called my sister Darby and conned her into coming up to help paint (in return I'll let her husband watch my kids and then feed them mac and chez for dinner, good trade huh) Anyhow, I asked Lincoln what type of room he'd like he had all sorts of wild ideas like "a yellow room" I steered him into another direction and this is the plans we drew up on conference Sunday.

Yesterday I started the bed. It took me all day to design the dang thing and without a table saw i found it difficult to do many of the cuts. After lots of re-cutting and much more cussing i finally got it put together last night. Today I spend 5 hours painting it and finally finished. I had Lincoln come look at it and asked him what he thought. He said " Cool... Why isn't it red?" He has this on going argument with his Grandpa Wade over which tractor is better, Green ones or red ones. Lincoln always says that red ones are better. I took him with me to the paint store and had him help pick up the colors. He chose the green. I guess after seeing it on he changed his mind.
Now, I just have paint his room and then figure out how to get the dang thing in his room!
I'll post more pics when it's all done!
