Monkey Madness.....

Henry's 'Big Boy" room is finally complete....

My sister Bethany painted the amazing mural on the wall for us and

I got the other vinyl lettering from my friend at "Mandy's Wall Candy".

Putting up the monkeys and vines hanging from the ceiling where tricky... Henry has only pulled them down once. ha ha

So I rigged them a little higher and he has seemed to loose interest in it.

The little table use to be a winnie the pooh table and black chairs, i just used 4 cans of spray paint and wa-la we have a new table that is adorable and perfect for this room.

The cute lions and other small animals where only a dollar at Micheals.... I really have been collecting things since he was about 1 so this has been a long process but fun. The frames NEVER seem to stay straight....

Henry boy loves to play with his animals and play in his room.

Oh and about the No monkeys jumping on the bed... hummm about that... My two monkeys Hunter and Henry jump, sprint, bounce, you name it they are crazy on those beds.... Ahhh boys will be boys.

I have to admit it was fun coming up with so many fun ideas.

Project Complete!!!!!

Well we needed milk.. might as well make a deal. :)

I just loving my CVS... Our family is on such a tight budget that any kind of savings for us is huge.

I had already gotten the deal for the week BUT hey we needed more milk so I just couldn't pass up getting the Tide for such a great deal.

CVS Ad:
$1 ECB WYB Milk, 1 gallon, $3.89 LIMIT 2
Tide 2x Ultra, HE, Total Care Liquid, 19-32 loads, or Powder, 31-40 loads, $5.94

I walked away paying 2.89 for each milk AND I used the profit for the tide. With a $1.00 coupon plus the profit the Tide came out to be like 3.50. Not bad huh!!?!?!?!

Welcome Aboard... Mrs. Decks Class

Hunter ended up getting moved from his original teacher to Mrs. Deck. I got to meet her at the Open House and she is wonderful. So full of energy, so excited about these new students and so eager to teach them. Her exact words where "I'm ready to fly with them" . She really encourages them to wants them to succeed. Her classroom was ADORABLE I loved it. The sign on the door says "welcome aboard".... everything in the classroom is themed like a boat. There are anchors and other really cute items. I loved the atmosphere and i'm excited for my little man to have a great year ahead in 1st grade.

Ride of life.....

“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he has been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just like people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is just like an old time rail journey … delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.”

Gordon B. Hinckley
