{ ME thinks Monday..}

Happy Thanksgiving ! Hope everyone had an awesome day and weekend....
It's Freezing cold here, to much good food, lots of laughs but it was a good long weekend...
So much to be thankful for but you hear that from me every week! So on this actual day of thanksgiving I'll spare ya ha ha....
Does this picture not make you want to gag!
Its been so cold we've just been hangin out ,chillin, playing games, baking and watching the kids play...checkers K was so good to L and spent the time to explain to her how to play..
love these moments....
also redid our room it has such a bad before I'm not even going to show you but remember a few posts back where I had a picture of this bedding. Well I walked into a store Friday night on our date and FOUND IT for more then 200 dollars less then it would normally be. I was so so excited and I love our room its not finished yet since K2 is still in our room, till he gets his own room soon as the basement bathroom is done! All a chain of things that are never ending that need done! All in time I guess! But I love it! When its all the way done I'll post a better picture......okay then random but this little babe's eyelashes just keep on growing he has the longest eyelashes EVER,{good thing L's are really long too!} click to enlarge..... bath time isn't so bad anymore he kind of likes it now that he just likes to kick in a little water.... love it
and me and my clean baby he is getting so big already!!!

I have to know where you got your bedding. I've been looking for something exactly like what you have. It would be PERFECT for our bedroom. Please share! Thanks!

Cute room! No, the picture doesn't make me gag, mmmm turkey, greasy or not.
And thanks for the Taylor Swift link, I'm starting to become a fan, I like the "You Belong with me" song/video too.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your new room! Where did you find the bedding? I SO want to re-do our room. Don't worry I won't copy. LOL! But it is so hard to find something cute. Looks like you had lots of fun this weekend. STAY WARM!

P.s. I made the ties...SO CUTE and EASY! Let me know if you want to whip up some cute ones for Christmas.

and jodi I got ours at Xpress/xcess cargo what is it called by costco/sears that area for 79 bucks there were lots there too! I don't care if you copy totally fine its fun cause there is so much you can do! and its affordable I got the curtains at zellers for 19 dollars for two panels ! It was a cheap makeover! and I love it! Can't wait to get it all done when K2 gets his own room!!
as for ties sounds like fun! you are so crafty!

DJ said...

That is a nice bedroom set. Glad you hit up such a great sale on everything----nothing beats an inexpensive bedroom makeover (except maybe a freshly bathed baby!!!
And yes the greasy drumstick made me gag --- only cuz I did have 3 turkey dinners.
Also love the thanksgiving quote. So true! It was a great thanksgiving this year but mostly cuz of what I have to be thankful for....

Alison said...

Wow! Love your posts Christal. I'm bawling from that song. Sheesh! Thanks for sharing it (sniff!) Okay, on with this comment... I love M eating that huge chicken leg! And your bedroom set is gorgeous. And you with your clean baby, it doesn't get any better than that does it?
What a yummy baby and cute mom! Glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. You're wonderful!

Karsen is getting cuter every day. I wish that I was closer by to hold him and love him even more. You'll have to let him know that even though he never sees me, I still love him! I hope you're doing well. Your room looks so great. love ya!

Rose said...

Hi girl, looks like you and your fam are doing great! I thought of you on Canadian Thanksgiving, mostly cause you are the only Canadian I am still friends with, plus you are lucky enough to have your family close by. FUN, FUN!! Your family is so beautiful. Your new baby is adorable and so blessed to be part of your family. Thanks for all your great posts. You inspire me to be a better mom. I think of you often and follow your blog even though I never comment. My time is not my own these days with the busyness of being a mom.
Love ya

Love ya, Rose

This Thanksgiving will be the most memorable ever! The kids were still alive.....the house in one piece......the table set to pretty......the turkey dinner (Candi's first!) was done to perfection......it all was SO perfect after traveling for two days straight in a tight and cramped little van (full of food storage...yay!). : D

Yup! That turkey drum, M is eating didn't make me gag at all. I could go for some more turkey right about now. LOL!

Ks is getting SO big already. So adorable!

Love your new bedroom makeover. We have xs Cargo here too, but I have never seen anything as nice as that in the bedding department! Way to go!
