Dining Room Conversion Underway!

After 4 years in this house, I have really "used" my dining room about 15 times. I LOVE the room, but we just don't get the use out of the space the way I would like. Soooo... We have decide to put the fancy stuff in storage and convert the space to a little mini-den.
I want a sitting area/play area for my boys. I want storage for toys, a place to play trains, and a place for people to hang out during get-togethers. Not to much to ask!
But, I was a little concerned I wouldn't do a good job of making it blend well with the rest of the house and it would look "thrown together!". So, I enlisted Betsy Blankenship's help! She came recommended from an old friend and is helping me figure this thing out! I will post before pictures here and will post the afters when it's all complete!







Progress to date... We have moved everything to storage and packed up the china. We are waiting on Betsy to come take a look and get us started!

One fish, Two fish

Jake and I have read "One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish" many, many times! The other night as he was "reading" it to me, he started licking his fingers to turn the page. Hilarious! Apparently, his teacher does that!





Tonight, as we were reading the SAME book, he stops me and says... "hey, mom- you are SUPPOSED to get wet in the bathtub. It's ok!". Ha! Thanks for clearing that up for me, bud!

Jake's vocabulary is expanding every day and he asks questions about everything! I know I hear "why?" at least 10 times a day!

He also loves to count things and especially likes to count backwards... I guess he is a fan of the countdown!

Facing the Giant

A few months ago, Jake developed a fear of Giants. We weren't really sure where he encountered a "giant," but nonetheless- they were his fear. He would tell us they lived in gutters and potholes and on occasion he we wake from a bad dream talking about giants.
Well, about a week ago, he said "mommy, giants aren't scary!" So, who knows what turned him??? This morning, we decided to take the giant breakfast. In all actuality, it was an excuse to get out of the house at 8 am after 24 hours of stomach virus! (yuck)
Jake decided the giant eats crackers and needed a letter to leave him. Jake dictated while I scribed... "dear giant, eat your crackers and make good choices! Love, Jake"












Taking out Gator to deliver the crackers to the gutter down the street! Yes- we also haul basketballs in the back!




We hope you are conquering your "giants" too! :)
