A couple of things

Here's the armoire primed and painted and in my bedroom. Even the hardware got a little fresh paint. It was a fun project and I think it turned out pretty nice! Please ignore my massive stash of breakfast cereal has already found a new home up top, haha!

Audrey likes the reaction she gets when she makes a sour face. She's a good sport about the lime wedges too. :)

I don't have any pictures of us (I should fix that for sure) but Mitchell and I joined our city league ultimate frisbee team! It has been so fun! We have games every Tuesday and Thursday evening all summer! It's a fun way to workout, spend time with friends and do something new! Audrey has enjoyed the frequent trips to the park and playing with the other kids that come too.

On Tuesday evening at our frisbee game I had a short conversation with a 3 year old girl and I noticed that Audrey is really picking up on social and conversational cues! The conversation went like this:

Little Girl: "Frogs eat flies with their tongue!"

*Audrey looks at the girl and sticks out her tongue when she hears the word she recognizes*

Little Girl: "Flies eat poop."

Me: "Ew, that's yucky."

*Audrey looks at me when I speak and spits when she hears the word yucky*

Side note: Lately I have been looking a little bit for a nursing job again. I have an interview at St. Mary's hospital on Tuesday! Please send your prayers and good vibes my way!

Makeover

Here's the current progress on the armoire. She's been primed and mostly painted. I decided to go with a light celery green color. I am going to glaze over it with a dark stain (then wipe most of the glaze off) so that the details of the molding come out. It's been fun!

Audrey is really brave! I am amazed that she wanders all over the park when we go, only glancing over to make sure I am close by. (Of course, I always am) She will even go down the tall slide by herself! What a grown up girl!

Splash Pad!

This is our new summer hangout. Water, playground, older kids, sunshine, fun and FREE!

"Wow, there's water coming out of the ground. I'll go check it out."

"Where did it go?"

"Whoa!!"

Does she look grown up or what!?! Toddlers are SO fun!

A Vision

Mitchell and I went to a thrift store on Saturday to look for a part he needs for an electronics project. While he was digging around I browsed and I came across this armoire. Ok, I know what you're thinking so I'll just say it, its hideous. I knew it at the time but for the first time in my crafting life I immediately had a vision for what to do with it! I may be the only one who does. I simply could not pass this piece up, it was like she was calling to me. I'll keep you posted on her progress. The vision may or may not involve spray paint and power tools.
