I know i"m about a week behind on Sharing Christmas with you all.. So today for wordless Wednesday I give you our Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve we picked up the pizza and headed over to my IL's for our Christmas Eve party.. We all had such a great time, Here is a little movie of our time there.
It has been a long time since I did a Tackle it Tuesday post. but over the weekend, we tackled something worth blogging about. We changed the look of the girls bedroom by painting it..
Painting it in the color that they picked out. Well Princess picked the paint color and Sweet Pea picked the color of the drappes. I think if it was up to Princess she would have picked purple drappes, but since they share a room they have to share in the choices of what goes in the room.. Even though Sweet Pea picked them Princess is loving them now that they are up. So today for my tackle I give the you the girls bedroom
Before(taken about a year ago, forgot the before pictures when we started LOL)

WOW, have things been busy around here.. I want to give you all a Christmas Recap,but I'll wait till a little later in the week for that or this thing would be the longest post in all of history. So today I'll just stick with our weekend.
1)Friday December 26, 2008
The day after Christmas.. the kids woke me up bright and early(early in my house is between 7:30 and 8AM) They wanted to play with the new Wii they got for Christmas.. So I got it turned on and set up and we spent all day Friday(and I do mean ALL day) playing wii. Princess even had two friends over and they ended up spending the night and played also.. We bowled, we played tennis, we played baseball, we golfed and played the Wii play games(which Little Man seems to love) which has the fishing and the cow races. Mr Man took to the wrestling Raw vs Smack down 2009 game(rented that one), and Guitar Hero the older girls couldn't get enough of(one of Princess's friends brought it over) WE played Wii from 8am till 3am.. and oh my goodness was I tried the next morning.
If the pictures were not enough to show you the fun crazyness of Friday night here is a short video clip of Princess and her friend Kay waiting there turn for the wii.
Anyways we grabbed the kids(all except Princess who had went to spend the afternoon at a friends) and we hopped into the van and went to the lake. We went and visited one of the Island, I never even knew this Island was there but goodness after seeing it, I want to move there. I still Love Kelley's but if I won the lotto(guess I better start playing huh?LOL) I'm so moving to this Island. Here are some of the pictures from Johnson Island.
3)After the Lighthouse we drove over to let the kids play at there favorite park by the lake and we spent the rest of the afternoon there
Now I have never been watched Wylie drop but it always sounds like fun and we have talked about going many times but never wanted to stand outside in the cold with the kids.. and I like spending New Years Eve partying with my children so I don't want to leave them home.. but one day we might go do this.
4) As we were leaving walmart I got a phone call from my parents asking is we were going to be home.. We all have been talking since summer of redoing the girls bedroom and dad and mom thought now would be a good time LOL.. So we rushed it home and they came home. Took the girls out to pick there color paint and had DH and my Dad move there heavy stuff out of the way and we got started painting.. Got about half the room done Saturday night and saved the rest for a different day.
I'll get to my Christmas Recap sometime soon..
Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas
