{pretty, happy, funny, real} a little house tour

~Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life~

Every Thursday at Like Mother, Like Daughter

 {pretty and happy}

We finally have some photos and artwork on the walls!  Making progress!  My list is getting shorter...Still looking for backyard and dining furniture, and then I'd like to paint a few rooms.  Master bedroom still needs pictures hung.  Overall, I'm so happy to have a house that doesn't have a huge to-do list.  Oh, but I almost forgot that at top of the list needs to be: HEATER!  Downstairs heat is not working!

We were getting ready for the birthday party...happy kiddos!

We still have to put away most of our Christmas decorations this weekend, but the tree was at least taken out, and replaced by the little altar area.

I love the playroom!

We moved the beds in Ellie's room so that she had more space in the middle of the room.  It's also harder to tell that the mattresses are different heights now :)

Mary Clare really wants to paint her room dark pink.  Not sure about that.  Maybe one wall?  We need to find some hardware to hang the mirror over her dresser.

{funny and real}

Me and the boys in the car during ballet class yesterday.  We didn't make it to our usual park outing and somebody wasn't happy about it (putting it mildly).  They were both in my lap between me and the steering wheel watching YouTube videos on my phone.  Afterwards, I ventured to Luby's Cafeteria with the 3 youngest while Mary Clare and Daddy went to her Livestock Show awards.  Thomas was a maniac, refusing to eat anything but corn-on-the-cob, and yelling wildly about wanting to use the bathroom.

Real homeschooling with little ones around...one shooting her with a Nerf gun and the other wiping her words off with his hand.  She's learning some good coping skills here!
