The last few weeks I have been doing a "Currently" post.  It is fun for me to think about my week. To open up, and show bits and pieces of my daily thoughts, and life.  I'm linking up with Becky from Choose Happy.

Enjoying...The line up of mud boots.  Just need to get baby girl a set for this mud but they don't make them small enough!



Pampering...Friday I took some time to pamper myself and put a set of my Jamberry's on my nails.  

Proud...They were so proud of their air rifle target shooting.  Good practice for Ezra who is in 4H Shooting Sports and Hannah who had never shot before.  PLUS good quality time with Daddy!



Silliness...Yes these 2 are my clowns, especially the one in the front!!!!!



 Hope everyone has a wonderful week.  Check out the link below to see what Becky at Choose Happy is up to this week and others!

Spring Tour

HAPPY SPRING!!!! Even Wisconsin currently seems to agree for now.

In this house, spring means 2 birthday parties.  Normally I don't do much for spring decorations.

Last week I decided to get a mirror from Amazon to hang above the piano.  I LOVE it!!!!!  Very happy with how to turned out.






The burlap banner was very simple, some left over burlap that I cut into triangles, crochet thread to hang it on with mini clothes pins, and print out letters glued on.  Searched Pinterest for a spring chalkboard prints and found a couple that I liked.









Last year, Hannah's birthday party theme was "Spring" and I made this wreath for the door.


A little fun in the entry way with an old pair of boots!


Fresh flowers are also nice in the house, my new splurge from Aldi every couple weeks.  On the windowsill I put the crate and tulips from last years party also.

$5 Bargain Paint

I love the $5 bargain paint section at Menards.  Couple weeks ago, I stopped at Menards to see what they had in the bargain section and there sat a gallon of tan Dutch Boy.  Quickly I picked it up and checked out before I was tempted to buy more!!!!!


More pictures to come of the playroom!!!!

Enjoying...Homemade tamales





Shopping...For a mirror above our piano in the living room.  Last night I ordered one from Amazon with my Discover Card points.  Paying 35 cents for it sweetened the deal even more. 


Excited about...Warmer weather coming!!!! My household has spring fever and needs to spend some time outside.
