Carrot Gardens

I saw this idea in a magazine the other day, so after a trip to the store, we tried it out. There's nothing better than a craft and a snack all in one!

If you want to try these you will need:

-Vanilla Wafers

-Oreos

-chocolate frosting

-green and orange Mike and Ike's

Instructions:

-Lay a vanilla wafer on a plate, and attach wafers to each long side with frosting.

-Cut a wafer in half, and attach to the short ends with frosting.

-Put a mixture of crushed Oreos and frosting in your "planters".

-Cut a slit in the top of an orange Mike and Ike, and then put a small piece of a green Mike and Ike in the slit, and then squeeze it together.

-Plant your carrots in the planters.

-Enjoy!

Big boys in their bunk beds!

We finally caved, and got the boys bunk beds. They were absolutely done with their cribs, but I was having a hard time taking that final step out of babyhood. *sniff, sniff* They are LOVING their beds and feel so grown up! Coleson claimed the top bunk right away, and has been doing great. We have the option of taking them apart to make two beds, but the boys have been following the rules pretty well, so we'll see. These pictures were from their first night in the beds, which was about a week ago. Since then, we have painted and redecorated. I have a few more projects to finish up, and then I'll post some before and after pictures. No more baby nursery in our house. :(
The only problem that we've had is that Coleson's internal alarm clock is apparently set to 6:00 am. While this might not seem early for some of you, it is excruciatingly early for me! I have been dragging big time these days. He made it until 6:45 am for the first time in 2 weeks, but that's still not good enough. We have tried later bedtimes and cutting out the nap, but it hasn't made a difference. I'm loving my coffee these days, and I'm getting a lot more done since my day is an hour longer!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Home Tour

I got this idea from another blog the other day, and I decided to invite you all in to see a few pieces of our home. I love looking through other people's houses. I love to see details and get ideas. Now that the boys are finally past their super destructive phase, I'm starting to redecorate and set a few more things out. I hope you enjoy your little tour! I would love to see a little peek into your houses too if you want to share! :)
