Been crafty!!

That's right!! I have proudly started and completed 2 projects so far this month! I saw a bookshelf idea on Pintrest a while back. They only covered the back of the bookshelf with fabric and painted everything else. I did mine a little different. I covered the shelves in fabric and my husband painted the rest of the bookshelf. With the help of Jill picking out the fabric for their room, I think it turned out great!! 
 
My next project of the month was making picture tiles for my grandma. 6 4x4 tiles from Lowes, some square cork bottoms, and some farm themed scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby, I printed the pictures from when my grandma, Jaxon, and myself went to the Farm and Ranch show and he sat or layed in all of the big tires. I remember my grandma getting a kick out of that and wanted her to have the pictures. Looks better this way instead of in her photo album. 
 
 
This is the finished bookshelf. I do have to say that it really added a great touch to their room. They are pleased with it and couldn't wait to start adding things to the shelves! I like that I have went thru with these projects. I spent a total of $21.29 for both of these projects! I felt good knowing that the things I have found via Pintrest are actually cheap to do. I also felt great knowing that I made them and neither of them could have been store bought!!

He's making a list....

The BIG TOY BOOKS arrived in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Let's just say he knows how to catalog shop! He knew what pages to go to that had toys for him. Anything Spiderman is topping his list right now. He will sit and watch the Spiderman movie and not move. Not the cartoon either...the movie with Toby Maguire. He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

LOOK! LISTEN!

He looks so big sitting on this little truck. The little truck that plays the most annoying music in the house. I am a weird mom! I refuse to remove any batteries from any toy that we buy him or that he receives as a gift. They are musical and educational and he loves to dance to the songs. So I will not take that from him....but its still annoying nonetheless.... Anyway...I am so proud of how fast he learns to do everything and that he is as independent as his little self can be. He loves to listen to the 2 songs on this little truck. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Do You Know the Muffin Man are constantly playing. He is a big boy now. He isn't my little baby bundled up anymore......
