Closet update

Finally got my closet update done.  I was a little slow about it because it's been so cold here, didn't want to go out to the shop to work.  I think it looks great and I hope Matt will like his new pant rack I made him!

Bathroom Makeover

My bathroom was in need of a makeover!  The faucets were the worst part, the water barely came out, the stoppers didn't work and the brass was so tarnished it looked like I never cleaned them.  So while Matt was out of town working on our house in Florida I decided to take on a big painting project.  I easily fixed the water problem by replacing the aerator, and replaced the stopper parts.  Now the hard part, I bought 3 cans of RustOleums Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint, some primer and blue tape. Total cost about $30.  I found some old house wrap in my garage and used that as the drop cloth to cover everything else in the bathroom. Once everything was covered I started painting.  This was the hard part because my bathroom only has one little window and the paint was to be used in a "well ventilated area" so I could only paint for a minute then come back after the fumes died down.  Some things like the light fixtures and the bathtub faucet I was able to  take out.  I love the way my bathroom looks now!  I'm still working on the closet, so I'll post that next.  By the way Matt had no idea what I was planning, but he loved it too.

Run For Your Lives

I let my sister talk me into a Zombie 5k run. I had started running for exercise this spring and it made since to run a 5k, but a zombie run? It turned out really fun, cold, but fun.  My sister and her husband flew in the night before.  We had about an hour and a half drive to Temecula, and the weather wasn't really in our favor, cool and rainy.  But we were able to meet up with our cousin and his wife which made the day even more fun.  The race itself wasn't really a race, it was more of a 'stay away from the zombies who are trying to take flags off our belts' run. Next years race will be close by, so maybe I'll get a group together and go again.

 

First Day of Kindergarten

My babies are off to school!  They were pretty excited about it, so no worries here.  Alivia really loves school and is disappointed we have weekends off.  Aaron has his bad days and just doesn't want to go, he ended up staying home one day when he wasn't feeling well leaving Alivia the only student in class with perfect attendance.
