Oh how the boys are having fun in this snow. This is the most snow they can remember.....so imagine their excitment when someday we get more than 3 inches:).
Getting ready to shovel the sidewalk. (yes that is a pink scarf around his neck). He wasn't to thrilled about that, but I told him it didn't make him a girl if he wore pink:)

This Past Week
This is the before picture of the master bedroom. The walls were a sea green color and the carpet is maroon.
Here is the after shot...much better:). The wall with the bed on it is a Russian Olive Color and the rest of the walls are a Seasoned Acorn Color. The carpet is the same for now until we feel the need to pull it up and the curtains were what were left here and oddly enough I don't mind them so much as they match the bedspread and throw pillow perfectly.
The boys and I were busy also this week with christmas cookies. Since I am on a diet and do not eat any snacks between meals, making these cookies were somewhat of a challenge for me. I wanted to taste each one, but instead I gave them to the boys and they said they were good...so I guess they passed the test.

The sloppiest buckeyes you will ever see...but then this was done completely by Elijah and Caden:)
Tried a new christmas cookie this year since Im not a fan of sugar cookies. These are Pecan Shortbread Cookies.
And the usual....white chocolate covered pretzels. I found these cute christmas pretzels so that made it more fun to dip:) Elijah dipped the pretzels and Caden did the sprinkles.
What a hectic week....now onto the next week full of CHRISTmas celebrations.....just thinking about it makes me tired:).

Few More House Updates
Was able to find something to go on the wall above my fireplace. I really love it.
While nick was gone last week in TN, I painted the upstairs bathroom. It was plain white and I painted it two shades of green. Finished it this past saturday. In this picture you can see the two shades near the recessed lighting.
