My oldest is affected badly by the syndrome best known as the impossible threes, and my youngest's favorite pass time is crying....but when you look at these super sweet faces...does any of that really matter?? :)

My beautiful girls...such a innocent and sweet age. They make each other laugh and smile.....I'm taking bets on how long this will last. :)

YAH for a new craft desk...this is it almost organized.....but such an improvement to what I had before.

Another exciting day in the Snap Shot house....so today is brought to you by....rainbow blinds!

2 words...IKEA ROCKS! I got this desk 40.00 off because of this...this tiny little dent. Since it is my craft table and that goes in the back anyway and can't be seen..works for me!

Yah, the colors of this are totally off, I didnt set my white balance. :( Anywho...this was really really good! I call it Parmesan Pizza Chicken!

Since I apparently like to torture myself, and apparently don't think the 30 Day Shred is enough (no...it is! see first statement) I decided to add this little gem to my workout!

Remember that truffle of fun I was just talking about?? These are her two favorite toys!

This is my little ball of fun Sprout. She really likes her Amazing Animals at the moment. She is learning how to push the buttons to make the sounds and she likes to grab at the animals as they roll around the track.

I have thousands upon thousands of pictures of my children combined, and how many do I have up on my walls? Almost none. Not the finest thing to admit. So I sent some prints off to Costco and these are some I plan on hanging up in the hallway separating the bedrooms. Will look so good!

Today marks another milestone day, the day my little new baby is too big to be on the highest level this crib has to offer. :(

This picture tells two stories....1. My fun workouts make my legs feel like Jello (yes, I realize I put up pudding, but we dont have actual Jello.) :) And 2. I need to mop my floors again...............*sigh*

This was moments before a huge mess! Now that Sprout is mobile, she is into everything and constantly on the go! I don't there has been a day since that she hasnt dumped over either the food bowl, water bowl or both!

I just can not STAND onions! No where on this package or in the pic says anything to me about onions! And look at this monstrosity, this meal had more onions than anything else, it took me forever to pick them all out! So gross.

Hubby is headed off to Texas for 5 weeks for school and we are all going to miss him so much! Here he is getting all packed and ready to go!

Let's try this again! 1-365

Well well well! It has been almost a YEAR since I posted to this blog. My last entry was of my daughter about to turn two, and here she is, about to be 3! My time flies.

Well I decided to give this whole 365 thing another go! I really need to update this blog layout and info, so it's another work in progress. I was going to wait till I had the blog exterior all done before I started posting but, that isn't going to happen in light of all the other things I am doing so.....enjoy the photos!

(P.S, if I am still on your blog list, you may see several posts by me, but thats because I am doing 16 days of posts all tonight, I am just changing the dates of the posts so that its easier to follow). For instance, today is actually the 16th of Jan, but the post will read the first. :) Tricky huh? :)

SO! On to day 1. I wanted to have a pic of the girls together because I plan on the last day being the same to see how much they have grown!

My baby is going to be 2 very soon!

It is just so hard to believe, I swear it feels like yesterday I was sad that my baby was going to be one. I went out and got her a big girl bed set to mark the day that she no longer needed jungle babies decorating her room. Now it's a whole year later, where does the time go?

I didn't go into great detail buying stuff for her room because I knew we were moving soon, and didn't want to go through a lot just to take it all down, so I waited to do decorating until we were settled in the new place.

Alas, we are here and another new year is upon us, and that means my little girl will be 2. Wow....2.....

So I am decorating her room to be very big girl, even though at the moment she is still caged in her crib, the thought of her roaming around at night gives me nightmares, so we are waiting a little longer until she is released. But I want her room to be special. Lucky for us, her room is already painted the perfect shade of purple to match her big girl bed set.

I had an old pine colored shelf that I bought years and years ago that I never put up because it didn't match a thing, so it just sat. Today I decided it will be apart of Sass's room and I painted it pink with purple trim. I wish I took before pics, but I didn't, and I am still not done. It needs another coat of pink and the purple trim. I had to put a base coat of white on it as...it was an already finished shelf so I needed something for the pink paint to adhere to, and I didn't feel like getting tons of stuff to do it properly, it works. :)

We have some nice flower, butterfly, dragonfly and lady bug wall appliques to put up. Even though it is not made for her bedroom set, it matches perfectly, and it will be so cute!

I bought her a curtain today that actually matches her set, lucky for me, she only has one window and required only one panel, that thing was over 20.00 for one...But when I put it up, she yelled, "THAT'S CUTE!", and we clapped and said "YAY" a bunch of times. I heard her do it again when Michael put her to sleep. She makes me smile.

So aside from her shelf I am making her, and her wall appliques, I wanted to make her some canvas boxes to hang on the wall. At Target, they were 9.99 for each one..I wanted three, but wasn't about to pay 30 bucks for something I can darn well do myself.

So I headed to Walmart and picked up 3 canvas boxes, 3 bucks each. Got a couple colors of pastel pain for 47 cents each and a new pack of brushes, but I needed them anyway so...

At home I already had ribbon and other items so...I began to paint. Now granted these aren't the best of paintings, I think they look very childlike and match her appliques and bedding very well! And it only took me a little bit tonight to make them and they are ready for hanging tomorrow!

So without further rambling....here is Sass' current bed set...

a more accurate look at her bed set

the makings of her shelf..IT IS NOT DONE YET lol..so it still looks crappy, but it will be sweet once it's done. The off white color will be purple.

The wall appliques.

and finally, the canvas boxes I made for less than half of what Target was asking for theirs...AND I like mine better. :) The yellow one will go in the middle of the three. I should have set them up that way but eh....you get the idea. The ribbon I used for the hangers was included in the pack of little spools from the 1 spot at target many months ago. The little wooden butterfly and flower things I have had forever, and you can get at Walmart, 56 cents I do believe.

I have a couple more things I am going to paint and put in her room, one being a custom mirror. I am excited to see her finished room! My little girl is growing up!

Daddy daughter and a me day

Today was a me day, and I enjoyed it a lot! I went to the mall and walked around for hours! Bought a couple sweaters from American Eagle, and a couple cute ones from Charlotte russe. Then went to Target (yup, in the mall!). I got Sass a new toy box, b-day party supplies, a B-day present and some wall stickers for her room that match her bedding. I need to get her some curtains now and she will be all set, but I saw a really cute rod and set at Walmart so...I will get that there. I think she will have her crib converted to a big girl bed here pretty soon.

So anyway, while I had my day, Sass and daddy had a day. She even got a treat and went to McDonalds....I am glad they had a good bonding day.  When I left, Sass had just got up from her nap so she was in jammies when I left so...daddy had to get her dressed. And he did a good job! Then I saw her socks....Oh daddy. :) Though, could have been worse. :)

The green needs to GO

This green was "meh, ok" when we first moved in, but we are at the point where it needs to go! We bought a sample...but unfortunately, I think its going to be too light for what we want. So......off to try again! But I will use that paint sample for the little cabinet I am redoing for Sass.

Today has been brought to you by the letter T

Tired, ten, terrible-twos, tantrums, turd, testing, tornado, TV, tape, teach, tickle, taco, time-out, telephone, temper, thrash, teeth, and thankful.....

Yup, pretty much sums up my day.
