Spring Break

So last week was my spring break and on Monday and Tuesday I sent Nora to the sitter so I could get some work done around the house. We decided to redo the bathroom in our room and get new blinds and window treatments throughout the house. I did not know what a process it was to pick out blinds, but I finally found some and went with it. We did white wood 2" in the living room and kitchen, white blackout in the two bedrooms and then khaki blackout in our bedroom. The blinds for the bedrooms are not in yet, but they have been

ordered! I am very excited!! Debbie helped me pick out some treatments for our bedroom and I found the perfect valance at Target for the living room. It is amazing the difference a window treatment can make in a room!

On Monday I cleaned out the bathroom and took down the border that had been in there and painted. Much to my amazement I hated it at first. For those of you who don't know our bathroom has a blue floor and white tile half way up the wall with random blue tiles here and there. So I decided to go with a brown paint and white toilet, white vanity, white medicine cabinet and white armoire. I had to paint two coats before it started to grow on me and now I love it! The next day I spend most of the day scrapbooking Nora's first year. My plan was to finish up to March, but a little surprise changed my plans. My cousin Annie surprised us by driving into town from DC on Tuesday night. We had a great time with her. We went and took a tour of the Brewery and went out to eat, did a happy hour, went to the new casino and had a game night!!! It was so good to see her and her boyfriend, Joe. We, me and my mom, were so surprised on Tuesday night. It was so much fun

That weekend was hectic, but so fun as well. I got to see one of my bestest friends, Valerie for her baby shower and I also got to do her belly shots! She is such a cute pregnant person! I cannot wait to find out what she is having and my guess is a boy. We shall see if I end up being 3 for 3! We went to the local park to do her shots.

That afternoon we had our friend, Brooke's, 3rd birthday party to attend and the next day we had Natalie's 2nd birthday party to attend. Nora had so much fun playing with her friends at both of the parties! She did not want to leave either one. Over all I had a great spring break and enjoyed a lot of fun times with family and friends!
