Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to the best dads I know!

We are all lucky to have you!

My (failed) fathers day idea....

I had a great idea to get a few pictures made of the boys and I for fathers day. James has been asking for updated pictures for months now, so I planned on getting a few nice ones framed. I picked out some coordinating outfits, got my sister to help, and we headed to a local park.

This is the best we got. 

 I really wanted to get at least one good one of all four of us. The boys were not interested. The twins just wanted to run, and Aidan just wanted to play in the dirt. It was also 4:00 and although we are going through a "cold front", it was pretty warm out.

 And the day ended like this, a dirt fight between the twins that ended with lots of tears:

That's a wrap, folks.

Decorating the new house

We are unpacked, and after only living here 6 weeks, that is pretty impressive for us. Even before we signed the dotted line at closing, I was already obsessively secretly decorating the new house in my mind.

I have only hung a few pictures, but overall it is looking like home.

Except...for the office. So, I have been "window shopping" for ideas online. Since I am surrounded by boys in this house, I thought it would be fun to make the office very shabby chic. I think I want to turn the closet into my little sewing room, a cozy little place that I can go and shut the door to be alone call my own. 

My inspiration:

 My favorite part of this room has to be the chandelier!

I love how girlie this room is. Can you tell the walls are actually painted pink? Not sure if I would be brave enough to do that....but it looks great in this room!

I love how this closet was turned into a little study area. My closet in the office is bigger, and pretty deep.

I think it would make a great sewing area and may try doing something similar.

Can't wait to get this project started!

The face of Autism:

First Haircuts!

The twins got their first haircuts (back in March). Pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Landon was first. What a ham.

 Grayson was next (since he is the youngest and everything...)

 See that guy in the background? Ok, well I will come back to that....

 Grayson was a little less impressed with the whole process.

It took a lot of cookies, suckers, and.... 

 Remember that guy? Well, that is his phone. Clearly he is a dad.

He handed Gray his phone, already with Disney Channel playing.
