HubbyKins hard at work. Let me tell you....the paint sprayer has been a blessing!!
I have wanted trim like this under the chair rail for a long time. :o) So very excited that this is done and i get to enjoy it. I have a big grin every time i walk into the dinning room now. LOVE!
My little man's birthday party was great. We had some friends from out of town get to come and i was soooo very happy to see them. I don't know if she knew but she helped me tremendously by just being here. I was so nervous hosting this party. I don't know why actually....maybe cause there are so many undone things in my house? Maybe cause i haven't had a birthday party at my house? Not sure but i was glad to see her and her sweet family.
We had the party at 2:00 so i decided to just do snacky things. No one would want a meal at that time so sweets it was. Cupcakes, ice cream, S'mores pops {recipe to follow} and because it was a airplane themed ...pretzels and peanuts with mini cokes/drinks.
The hubby and i moved the newly painted buffet into the living room and i started arranging everything.
I ordered his cupcakes this year. Walmart does a great job and they are pretty tasty. I got them in red, yellow and blue icing. The same colors of his airplanes. I put the pretzels in an apothecary jar i found at ROSS.
Marshmellow pops are all over the place in bloggyland. I decided on S'mores pops. Easy Peezy! Here is what you will need: Marshmellows {large}, bakers chocolate {i used milk chocolate}, Graham crackers {smooshed} and i got the sticks at Hobby Lobby in the baking section. Simply put the marshmellow on the stick. Then dip it in the the melted chocolate. Then roll it around in the graham cracker crumbs. And there you have it......S'mores POPS! Everyone seemed to like them so i will be making these again. :o)
That's it. The party was fun....Little man had a blast and now my house is clean for me to enjoy today while the kids play with all the new toys. :o)

The kitchen/dinning room looks amazing! You guys did a great job! I am so jealous. I told Mark I have to work on mine, now. :)
Thanks girl! That makes me feel like all our hard work has finally paid off. Whatcha thinkin about doin' to yours?? :o)
Well, we're planning on doing open shelves above the countertops. I don't have extra room, so I have to stick with the current layout. But, we're going to take out the soffits, make ledges for my cookbooks and pretty things. Paint (both the walls and cabinets), something with the countertops, and redo the whole pantry/laundry room area. So, a lot, but not quite like yours!
