Oh, elusive forward roll, Emmy is SOOOOO close to mastering you!

Emmy's first Sleepover

Emmy's cousin Jackson is here for a sleepover.  We had to have a little family sing-a-long before bedtime, here are the kiddos performing.

This was also Emmy's first night in a big girl bed, it took her about an extra hour to fall asleep but she is finally down.  Hoping for a better night tomorrow!

Bathroom Colors

Soooo, now that you've seen our guest bathroom before (in previous post)...and you've seen the current...maybe you can help with the future.

Even though the tile is in pretty good condition, we are done with the peachy-pinkness in the bathroom.  We bought enough tub and tile paint to cover the outside of the house and will give this bathroom a little makeover.  I've decided to go with the gray-blue color for walls...but OH the choices.

I'm thinking that I like the Jamestown Blue.  I don't know.  

So once I do decide on paint colors, then I need to decide on accessory colors.  Do you do a dark brown this this kind of blue?  A black for contrast against the blue and white? A gold/yellow....a burnt orange? My decorating skills are about equal with my house keeping skills, so if anyone out there can help...will you please?????

Sadly, I only took a few pictures this week.  One was a recipe and just a few of Emmy.

I LOVE this picture of my little gal, she is the sweetest and the most ornery thing wrapped up in one package.  

This one cracked me up.  She's very particular about her night time routine and ALL of her buddies have to be in bed with her.  You can't tell it very well here, but her monkey is actually sitting on her pillow.

I LOVE PINTEREST. 

Please let me repeat if you missed what I just said I.LOVE.PINTEREST.

I would marry it if I could, imagine the wealth of knowledge I would become!

However, the one thing I don’t care for about Pinterest is that there is no great space to put notes about the item.  I know you can add comments, but it doesn’t keep your text formats.  For most items this is not an issue.  But for recipes I would love to see a picture of my object of affection, an ingredient list and cooking instructions! Right?

If I’m just Pinterest  dumb and there is a way to do this, will you please be a friend and tell me?  So until the time comes that either a) Pinterest adds this feature, or b) you let me know about this feature I’m going to problem solve this way: (step by step instructions) Post picture on blog of dish and ingredients, post to blog, pin it.  Is this vain?  Oh well, it solves my problems so here we go.
