Home project time

Got an update on my home project... I finished the laundry cabinets. 

Really like how they turned out. Now I just need to work in organizing ... Lol. 

For the longest time I have been thinking and wanting to change the look of our cabinets...

 right now they are Oak, (so 80's) but I am not sure exactly what I want and also I know that the cost has to be LOW...

.... so the other day I was shopping at a local antiques shop Big White Goose Barn when I cam across her working with Annie Sloan Chalk paints.
 I told her about my intentions and she gave me a demonstration of how the paint works and what kind of end product I can get!

 I am SOLD.... I am looking for the antique look with an off white or cream color... I cannot wait to get started.. because I am a little skeptical of my abilities I decided to start with my laundry room cabinets....

first coat down! many doors to go!!...

It's a good start. 

Trolley Rides

Each summer the City Trolley starts running their tour of the town. My kids think this is the best FREE ride ever!!! Plus you learn a little Of the towns history.

 So we get on and enjoy the ride!!!

Today's Trolley was clear Full!!

The best part of the ride is heading down the hill on Washington street. If you sit in the back, you are sure to catch air!!

Here is to more great rides!!

Got EgGs??

Finally

after all this waiting our chicks are now chickens?!! (According to Sawyer) who says "they are chickens when they give us eggs".

Tool us all by surprise as we went out to feed and check for eggs (out of the blue Ashlee, asked have they laid eggs yet? Who knew?!! Guess she did!!

 I expect to be collecting LOTS girls ..

 

So get to laying!!
