Climbing On Up...

Well, not much is going on around here. Just the normal stuff. Austin has made some real "strides" towards walking. He walks with his arms raised up above his head, I think it helps with his balance. And he has discovered how to climb into chairs. Here's a pic of him in the chair watching cartoons. :) Have a great day!

Play Kitchen

So I found this baby on the side of the road a few weeks ago. And she screamed "Play Kitchen!"

What? You don't hear her screaming that?? OK, well, what about know?

Yep, know you hear it! :) I had Mark take one of the drawers off and cut a whole for the sink. The rest was just a little paint, wooden circles painted for burners, and a few knobs. The whole project cost about $7. Not bad at all!!! And the kids already love it!!!

Playhouse Update

About 2 years ago Mark built Brooke a super cute little playhouse. When he built it, we painted the outside. But besides that, we haven't done much with it. So, this summer, I've been working on it. Here's a few pics...

Those are Brooke's handprints. I'm going to put Austin's on the other side, if I can ever keep him still for that long! :)

This is a tool bench we got from the side of the road! Gotta LOVE free!

Little shelf  above the door for toys!

Opposite wall of the tool bench. Shelf for bubbles and bubble wands, and curtains I made. The black wall is a chalkboard wall. Forgot to take a pic, but it's just black, so you can imagine what it looks like.

Just right of the before pic. Little Mary Engelbreit pic says, " Keep good company and you will be counted as one of them."

Total cost about $20. Not bad at all! :)

August Already???

Well, I'm not exactly sure what happened to the month of July. It seems like it was just the 4th. We didn't really do much in the month, but here are a few pics anyway! :)
