2 Rooms mostly done, 5 to go!

We started painting and redecorating our home, so far so good! Man can 2 people collect a lot of shit! So we have been cleaning and painting and organizing. So here first is my room {I should have taken before and after{{shudder}}}! This room used to have both mine and Jeff's stuff in it, but since Sarah moved into her new house we now each have our own rooms!

So here is all my artsy stuff! This took the most time! I have so much stuff! Geesh, but I swear I use it all!!! I finally got around to having some prints of my photos made large for my wall! I couldn't be happier!
The computer also got relocated to my room, since I am mostly on it, plus we wanted to get it out of our living room. It is feeling more and more springy in my room...I want to feel as if I am sitting outside inside {since I do not have a 4 seasons room}.

I am not sure what I am going to hang on these little daisy hooks, but I thought they were adorable and for sale at Hobby Lobby for $2 each SOLD!

This is now Jeff's room, it is so nice for them to be separate so my room can be really girly and his can have all the car stuff he loves so much LOL!

Love the colors though!

He also got Jasper {Iguana} since Jasper hates me!

Next week the living room, Jeff already cleared it out. Oh man does the rest of the house look a mess, it is like The Wizard of Oz when she opens the door!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

!XOXO!

Monday monday, la la lala lala....

So off to Cantigny we go. The temperature outside is a perfect 77 with a steady breeze. White puffy clouds dotted in the sky, and we had the whole day to just wander around. Perfection...almost, one exception men have a one track mind, now I know what you are thinking and that is not what I am talking about. I mean their other one track, car, boat, tank motorized mind.

Jeff: "lets go see what new tank Cantigny got, hey there it is over there!"

Jule: "yeah...ok, something is sticky on my shoes?"

Jeff: "oh, hey man isn't that thing cool?"

Jule : "this is making me crazy like my feet are sticking to my shoes"

(at this point he is staring at the boat I at my shoes)

Jeff: "oh really? Hey they got this from Europe it was a fishing barge for a while"

Jule "uh huh"

(now my shoes are off and I am walking like a duck in the grass trying to get the sticky off)

Jeff: "man is this thing huge, look they painted it and restored it."

Jule: "do you think Neddy (my looney cat) was licking my shoes again, sometimes that makes them sticky, this is gross!?!"

Jeff: "hey are you gonna get a picture of this, this must be what Danny was talking about?"

(put my shoes back on)

Jule: "yeah, yeah picture ok, yeah its cool!"

(walk around it, snap the picture)

It was pretty cool, would have been better if you could climb inside or something?

Then I spot a sprinkler!!!!

AHHHhhhhhh yes I am saved!

A little Croc-a-flop wash!

Now I can enjoy my day!

OOhhh big tank, ok, so I have seen these a few times now, but just when you get bored, you find a little something...
this little chipmunk! A few of them were playing around on the tank, man were they cute!

This is Jeff's next car, lol!

A useful thing to do with your bright old crocs...

AND now get ready for the

Frog-a-fricken-RAMA!!!

Holy smokes there was a lot of these buggars...or shall we say buggar eaters!

Oh hello!

Just look at that pretty green pond stuff! Bahahaha!

He was sitting so still!

I think he has been in the sun too long!

I didn't even notice until I put these pictures on my computer that there was another little guy in the water at the bottom! See him? This guy was so big, yikes!

A little swimmer...

Lets zoom in...

Full frontal view, lol!

I couldn't resist some more butterfly pictures, it just wouldn't be me!

I really like this one!

All this walking around has made me hungry!

We thought we would try out their restaurant for a treat, they have a nice little patio, not too much longer will you be able to sit outside and eat. Here's our yummy lunch! I had a smoked turkey panini with fetta cheese, pickled red onions & arugula on wheat berry bread, it is served with kettle chips, (I figured about 14 points) with a lovely glass of ice water. Jeff had a very delicious BBQ pulled pork sandwich also served with kettle chips, and a diet coke, he recently switched to diet (good boy). Our lunch was really good and the day was so pretty! Picture perfect! Plus with tip it was only $20! Deal! This is our Monday thing...so we shall see what we find next week!

Sorry this picture is a little dark, it is hard to get good shots of yourselves!
