We went to the Botanical Conservatory for a birthday party. Henry snapped a picture of me with the kids.
Happy Birthday Jake (and Darian, too)!!
This year, Lorie had the birthday party for her two favorite guys some place super fun!
The Botanical Conservatory currently has the “Fisher-Price Little People Farm” set up. Lily was raking in the field before lunch.
Project 365: Day 21 – Snow Day
I couldn’t pick just one today.
Project 365: Day 20 – Girls Night In
Lily’s been a great big sister. She helps with her little brother. She tries to keep herself busy when I’m taking care of him.
All that can leave a little girl feeling just a tad neglected.
After Navy goes to bed, Lily gets special time. Since she’s older, and more mature, she gets to stay up a half hour later. During tonight’s time, I gave her a manicure and pedicure. She loves having her nails done, even if they don’t make it through the day.
I will let you in on a little secret: Planning a girls day out in the near future to surprise Lily. No boys allowed, not even baby brothers.
Project 365: Day 19 – Keep the Home Fire Burning
I hated my fireplace. When I was looking at houses, I didn’t even want one in the house. Not that we have ever used ours, but still, didn’t want one.
I hated everything about ours. The brick. The closure. The mantel. Everything.
I’ve talked to Darian from Krauss Heating & Cooling about installing a gas fireplace in the house. Not right now, but I wanna know what I’m looking at price-wise.
When we went to visit some friends at Hampton Inn, this was the fireplace in their lobby. Lily loves it. I loved it it kind of gives me something to go on, with what I want in our home.
Though I very much dislike our fireplace as it is now, I can see the potential in it. I hope that some day, our fireplace will look similar to this.
