Yay for preschool!

A couple days a week I get a short break from my oldest kiddos who both go to preschool.  Its always hard to decide if I will spend the time relaxing or catching up on chores.  Today I decided to do a little of both ;) T is usually a very laid back happy baby so he didn't mind running to Walmart to grab some cake supplies for all the up coming birthdays.  I've already been on Pinterest (haha) and decided to make a peppa pig cake using marshmallow fondant for Z and a kit kat cake with a ninja turtle action figure on it for K.  Pinterest always makes things look so easy so I hope it really is. Lol. 
Since I was already at Walmart I decided to check out the toy isles.  My daughter just loves peppa pig, as you know, and I wanted to see what toys they had. To my surprise, Walmart had no Peppa Pig toys!! What?! I thought this was a popular show?!  Why are there no toys? I don't get it. Luckily I ordered her a few things already. I just hope they get here for her party.

The Lego table is coming along. My neighbors were nice enough to cut the hole for the basket and sand the top of it. I am so grateful for them! Once I get it back today I want to spray on the primer. I also decided to do another project.  The kids have a train table that has seen better days, in fact, the leg is about to fall off. Lol. I'm going to prime and paint the frame blue like the Lego table and the top with chalkboard paint! I think the kids will enjoy drawing their own roads.  My husband ended up buying a new piece of ply wood for the top.

Lets start over...

It's been two year since my last blog post! :o  I'm now a busy mom of 3 little ones.  Yes it's hard work but it's worth it! I love my kiddos!  September is coming up and that is a big month for our family because all the kids have birthdays! K is turning 5, Z is turning 3, and T is turning 1. 

I've already started work on a project for K.  I finally caved and bought him a lego set. (I hope I don't regret that) I wanted to have a space just for him to build his creations and hopefully keep his legos off the floor. Of course I went to pinterest for ideas.  I looked up diy lego tables and found the following website...  http://fussymonkeybiz.blogspot.ca/2013/07/lego-table.html I instantly loved it! I thought it would be hard to find a weird old table like the one she used so I kept on searching.  Later on that day, while on facebook, I saw that a friend of mine was selling that exact same table for $15! I hurried and snatched it up.  I couldn't believe how lucky I was :)  I don't do many diy projects so I don't own a saw to cut the top for the basket so I asked a friend for help.  The table is currently at her house while she cuts the hole, possibly sands it, and applies a primer. Then i'll get it back and spray paint it blue. (K's favorite color of course!)  I am so thankful for her help! 

Z is a lot easier to buy gifts for.  She just loves Peppa Pig and Hello Kitty.  I ordered her the cutest Peppa dress and necklace/bracelet set off wish.com.  It takes a few weeks to get it since its from China but I think she will love it!  I also ordered her some play pots, pans, and stove because she likes pretending to cook food.  She is pretty easy to please.

I still haven't bought T anything.  I know that sounds bad lol. I haven't forgotten about him. There is a kids consignment opening in September so i'm hoping to find him a few toys there. I just hate spending a lot of money on a toy he will only use a few months. Toys are so expensive now days! 

Now I have most the gifts figured out I just need to plan a little party.  Camille thinks I should have a paint war for K and Z. I think they would definitely enjoy it, but it's hard work making all the paint and stuff.  I need to make a decision soon but I am procrastinating haha. I think i'm going to try to make the cakes and maybe for T's bday party we can do cupcakes.  I can guarantee that we will be sick of cake by the end of september lol.  

As of right now, I only have 1 follower, Hi Camille!!!!!!! So maybe by the end of the week I can have 2??! lol I'm hoping to keep up with this blog and share my ideas and experiences with my family and also share cool products that I get to try for free from bzzagent. 

Well, ta ta for now!
