Hair Station

I haven't got it all organized, but Hallie had this vanity in her room. She has been wishing that she could get it out, so I decided maybe that could be the start of our hair station. Aleena was so excited she thought she should blow dry her hair before bed, all by herself. My only concern is maybe the carpet getting yucky under the vanity. Any ideas?

Easter Eggs

I have been wondering all weekend where the tradition of Bunnies that lay eggs came about. So funny to me. Anyways, we dyed our eggs Saturday evening. We had 2 soccer games and so we didn't get to them until later. Linden, Michelle and the kids came over and we made the mess together. It didn't seem as chaotic this year as in the past. Linden had some big paper from work and we threw that on the table and really kept it less messy. We had sparkly eggs, sporty eggs, color crayons on eggs.

We ordered pizza for dinner. To save on paper plates and dishes, we put clean paper on the table and just used it as plates. It looks a bit gross but it worked really good. We just rolled it all up when done and everything was clean. The thought that was so fun to get it everywhere.

I am not sure why he thought I needed to see his egg sandwich all chewed up.

Jase was very proud of his eggs

Livee kept climbing in and out of the door. Kaisey wanted to follow but isn't quite ready to climb in and out of the door. Livee didn't think we were very nice shutting the screen door.

Savanna is my serious girl in front of the camera.

Everyone seems very focused.
Here is the crew.


Here is a short clip of the excitement.

Here is there basket of goodies. We couldn't find our baskets this year, so we used paper bags and they actually worked out perfect. The kids love to sort their goods.

Savanna chillin after church.

It was a beautiful day outside, the kids went out and were playing on the tramp. I know, they actually do play together sometimes.

You can't have Easter without Rice Crispy nests. We made these to take over to Grama Gladys's house for dinner. It was a great weekend, and now I need to work off all the chocolate I ate. I hope you all had a great Easter.

I Have to do This!!!

I am getting the spring cleaning, organizing bug. A little background, I have 4 girls that all have thick beautiful hair. We can never find a brush, comb or water bottle when needed. Daddy has to hide his brush so that he doesn't have to clean it out of long hairs, or find his brush because the girls have used it and taken it out of the bathroom. All the girls tend to flock to my bathroom to do hair or I haul stuff to the couch so that they can watch tv for a minute. Which I don't mind, but then my bathroom looks like a hurricane came through it and everything sits on my couch. Poor Brad, Sunday morning Brad gets about a 2" spot of the mirror. I saw this idea today and I want to do it this. She took an old changing table and turned it into a hair station. It just so happens I have a changing table that is collecting junk. I need to decide where I would put it. I could put it in my bedroom so the kids can watch tv if I am doing the hair, plus it will keep the kids I babysit out of it, they can't get their hands on it and tear it apart. Plus it would be a home for all hair stuff. But then that is one more thing in our room, something would have to go, maybe the broken eliptical machine. Click here to see the project.
