Snow Day Fun!

Here are a couple quick videos of the kids playing during the snow day.

Grant was so funny because he kept putting his binky in this little ball thing and then would concentrate so hard to get it back out again.  He probably did this 4 times in a row.  It was really cute to watch his chubby hands trying to fit into the tiny holes!

Regan shows off her musical abilities.  Pay close attention to the way she sings "strong" after she sits in the chair.  The kid is a nut!! :)

Have Spray Paint: Will Use!

I've confessed my obsession with home decorating blogs before and I'm so excited because today, Sarah over at Thrifty Decor Chick is having a spray painting party!! This is my first time doing anything like this, so I hope it works! And if you're visiting from Sarah's blog, leave a comment so I can visit you too!

Taking some inspiration from Kimba, I went "bunny hunting" at Goodwill last Saturday and came home with these beauties -- for a whopping $3!! I was beyond excited!  They were exactly what I was looking for -- a whole lot of ugly but nothing a little spray paint can't fix!

A coat of Rustoleum primer and a few coats of el cheapo white spray paint from Wal-Marts, and we've got ourselves some Easter bunnies!!
This one reminds me of the flop-eared rabbit my sisters and I used to have.  His name was Bandit and he "went to live on a farm" because he kept chewing on all the cords in the house.  Poor Bandit.  I still need to find a nest to go in my Dollar Tree egg.
I always get so many ideas from blogs, but I can't ever figure out how to pull them off at our house.  Oh well, at least I tried, right!?

After the Regan wakes up from her nap (because why on earth would both children decide to nap at the same time!?) I'm headed back to the dollar store to find the ugly birds that I've seen everywhere so that I can spray paint them too!  I love looking at all the ideas... you should check them out too, but beware... this blogging thing is highly addictive!!

Regan's Rx for Daddy

Eric went to the doctor the other day to find out that he has strep throat.  On the way home from picking up his prescription later that night, Regan had a few questions for him.

Regan: "Why we go to this store, Daddy?"

Eric: "To pick up my prescription."

Regan: "To pick up yer pa-scry-bub-shun?"

Eric: "Yep."

Regan: "Are you sick, Daddy?"

Eric: "Yes, Regan, I am sick."

Regan: "Where you going put yer medicine?"

Eric: "In my mouth, Regan."

after a few thoughtful moments

Regan: "Daddy you put that pa-scry-bub-shun in you mouth and it will make you feel all better.  Okay, Daddy?"

I'm wondering if we have a future pharmacist on our hands!?

Grant's First Birthday!!!

Grant had a great first birthday party the Saturday before his birthday.  He'd been sick with the croup the week before, so we didn't do much.  Nana and Papa, GiGi and Papa Sammie and a few friends from church came over and we ate cake and had snacks.  It was very nice and Grant seemed to enjoy all the attention.  Sorry the pictures are so late in coming....

Here's Grant sporting his new haircut before the party.  I love me some spiky hair! Especially on a kid as cute as this one!

He was so cute staring at all of us singing to him.  He wasn't quite sure what to do.
Mom and I made a red velvet cake for the guests, but Mom got Grant his own individual cake with the good frosting.  He dug it and kept leaning over to eat it without his hands! It was really cute.
Opening his new fire truck from Nana and Papa. (We had to change his shirts after he ate his cake. The kid had cake everywhere! It was awesome.)
And his new Batman pajamas, complete with a little velcro cape.  Check out those abs! ;)

If blogger worked right, this should be a video of him "blowing" his candle out, with a little help from Daddy.  Blogger is taking forever, though, so I hope it shows up!
