Design Star .... You've met your match!!!!

ok.....so i've experienced an epiphany! as i've mentioned before the house we live in was built in 1897 and the section of the house we live in the most is actually an addition to the house so we aren't getting to truly experience day to day what we love most about our home....the "old" character and charm. sooooo we are turning the formal dining room into the living room and the living room into the dining room. the planning has begun and will be most likely a slow process.

color choices and the new rug.





i LOVE lanterns and i got these 50% off!!! i love getting a deal!!! but then again who doesn't?!




50% off as well!! woo hoo!





an old picture from that will be used more as a piece of art.





paige's feet enjoying the new rug.

The fog is rolling in...........

Super Star

many monday afternoons have been spent preparing for this day........the school play "Abe Lincoln, A Man For All Times" was peformed by the Drama Club this evening for family, friends and the community. our super star, paige, was one of the performers!!!!!

Cool Chair

OH....and something else.............

is this not a VERY cool chair?!!!!

Ice !!!! (Freezing Rain and Sleet)

ok, this morning was awful trying to get to work. i took the interstate thinking surely it would be the safest route, but unfortunately it wasn't. it started out ok but then quickly turned into 15 mph with hazard lights on to make it to my exit with accidents on my left and right. awful!

an hour and a half later i arrive at work....what should have been 20 minutes.

thankfully we are all home safe and sound this evening.

and.....for a thursday shot i thought i would share another photo of the cutie below.......

Random Wednesday

eclipse.....





yes....that is paige outside in the freezing cold watching the eclipse with a head of wet hair!

if you look closely you can sort of see the eclipse.





how cute is this?!






another science project shot.






happy wednesday!!!!

Growing Crystals!

maybe we can master growing diamonds??!

paige and her friend kelcie are working on a science project together. they are growing crystals! so far, they've been able to master growing borax, sugar (rock candy) and citrine crystals.

borax crystals were pretty easy and were complete over night. sugar crystals presented more of a challenge and after three batches we have rock candy within a week. citrine crystals are just plain cool. they are grown on rocks and within two days we have significant crystals.

i'll post more picture of their project as we go along and hopefully i'll have pictures from the actual science fair!

Ice Skating

does paige look like a pro or what?!!!

we have a new ice skating rink in town!

it's actually synthetic ice....how cool is that?!
