Just too Busy...

We haven't done a thing wedding related in almost 3 weeks.  Life has just been too busy lately.  You've seen the Dinosaur show, new furniture, and more.  What you've missed is moving & selling the old furniture among other things.  
We also traveled for Easter...









Then we had the biggest Easter Egg Hunt I've every seen.  The boys walked away with half gallon bag of candy...
After returning home we had a couple days before Jamie & I left town again.  This time it was to see this guy in concert...


Then I had a few more days before packing my bags for a weekend with girlfriends at our annual MOMS Convention.  Photos coming soon...  
The last couple days have been spent outside in the yard cleaning the deck & assembling this...
The swing set isn't done yet because we are missing a couple pieces.  Not sure if these pieces were missing when we bought it or if the little helpers walked off with them...

Walking with Dinosaurs

My mom & I took the boys to 'Walking with Dinosaurs' on Wednesday afternoon.  It was a good show & the boys loved it.  I heard a lady behind us laughing because 'one boy's eyes can't get any bigger & the other keeps covering his ears'.  We walked away with foam dino heads
For more show info check out their website: http://www.dinosaurlive.com/

Toys & Books...

Playroom is done with the exception of wall hangings...  Here's the before book case. Found it on a local classifieds for $20. 

This is the finished product after a few coats of paint & some scrapbook paper.
The boys had to 'help' me line up their books on the shelf.

New Furniture is Here...

We have been super busy this past week working on home stuff.  Jamie made the pedestal for the new washer dryer (pic coming soon).  My book case for the boy's room is finally done.  The yard is ready for swing set assembly (any helpers?)  and we are slowing selling old furniture because we found nicer new stuff.

Here is a look at the dining room before:

Here's the dining room today:
We still need wall stuff & vertical blinds but things are wrapping up...  When it's all done I'll post before & afters of each room.

Five Months to Go!


Five months til our wedding day.  Crazy!  Everyone says the time goes fast & they are so right.  We have so much left to do...

Flowers, tuxes, shoes, order cupcakes, build cupcake stand, secure reverend, dinner reservations, just to name a few...  Eventually it will all get done, right?

In other news... We have these moving into the new house this weekend.
Jamie plans on building and painting pedestals before they arrive.  Could be interesting (or entertaining) project.  We'll keep you posted...

Red Rose Petals...

So we needed more rose petals for table centerpieces.  If you price petals out you will find that they are quite expensive.  I found a seller on Ebay with a steal.  I got 1000 petals for a few dollars.  The petals would have to ship from China, but reviews were good so I figured I could give it a go.  

Well the petals finally arrived in a small 4x6 envelope.  I opened it to find this...
It's 1000 petals all compressed together.  Each petal had to be separated.  It took three of us about 45 minutes to complete this project.  They were full of static so the petals were literally leaping out of the box even though we were using dryer sheets.  We now have a large shoe box full of petals.
