Hair!

I was going to trim the girls' hair tonight, and I jokingly said to Macy, "want me to just cut it up to your shoulders??" and she said,..."YEAH!"  I tried to back pedal, and give her an out and she just said,..."Mom it's just hair, it will grow back!"  And she was SET! Well I got done cutting Macy's and then Lucy saw and wanted hers done too!  So I cut off ALL my babies' hair tonight, for the first time EVER having them with short hair!  I think it was harder for me than them!  But I think they look so grown up, and still adorable :)

Kitchen Counters

We have been busy getting ready for and doing our kitchen counters!  SO EXCITING!!! I might actually have a kitchen again!! YIPPEEEEE!

 On our island and bar, I really wanted butcher block. But it is REALLY expensive, so we made our own redneck version :) We took all the 2x4's from our forms, lined them up and nailed/glued them together!  VOILA!  we ground them down a  bit then had an adventure with apoxy.....TBC

 Here's the counter before apoxy...

 I love my hanging colander light :)

 here's the first layer of apoxy. Looks pretty awesome, but we had to do the bar two times because we messed up the first layer.  BUT they both turned out beautiful so I can't complain

 Scott and nick did the concrete tops.  I LOVE how they turned out!

Not kidding

Really.  I wasn't kidding.  I said,..."Stop fighting or you're walking home"

Enough said.

hands

these cute little hands have been on the kitchen wall for weeks and I can't bring myself to wipe them off! They are so stinking cute, they might have to stay.....❤

Nailed It!!

so Lucy brought home a cookbook from the school library to make cute animal cupcakes. Not having an oven...let alone a kitchen....this is how we did. I think we pretty much nailed it!! 
