Life

We have been so busy lately.  Shopping for our trip and summer clothes and of course the whole gang needed new kicks.  Luckily Stride Rite had BOGO 50% off.  And I started planning the birthday party for Brady and Pierce.  Brady chose pirates for this year's party.  I was just happy he didn't choose WWE seeing that Pierce isn't a fan of John Cena yet.  We had an amazing Easter as a family of 5.  Steve didn't understand why I was dressing the boys alike if they weren't twins.  And guess who loved it once they were all dressed - the hubs!  Thank you Ralph Lauren for 30% off and free shipping.  I wish I wasn't such a sucker for free shipping but I am.  Here's my fave shot:

On top of all of this we started a new project! 

We have been living with ugly gold/beige stripe wallpaper and (eeeeeww) brass fixtures in our bathroom for the last 5 years.  Actually when we moved in the entire house was beige.  Steve has re-painted the whole house and this master bathroom is the last thing on the list. In between preparing baskets and decorating eggs and enjoying the awesome weekend Buffalo had, we started stripping the wallpaper and got it all done in 1 weekend.  I am amazed at how much bigger the bathroom looks already.  Steve has a little bit of patchwork to do and then the walls will be painted a light gray.  And because I am an awesome wife who appreciates her husband's input I gave him the choice of colors to pair with the gray: yellow, pink or turquoise.  He chose turquoise!!  We need to purchase a new towel bar, toilet paper holder and 2 new light fixtures.  Oh yeah and I'm forgetting the towels and new accessories.  But all of that might have to wait till we get home.  We leave Sunday and the suitcases are getting filled as we speak.
