3.4.12 - Day 364

Skyler had so much fun playing with the balloons this afternoon!

Brandon would take the balloon and bounce it on his head... 

Hahah, this reaction is priceless! 

Finally daddy let him just play with the balloon and this is what he'd do! He'd either try biting it or yelling into it while holding it. 

And then he'd hug it, awe! 

Then he saw his shadow moving while he was playing with the string and he couldn't figure out what it was! 

Then he crawled over to the shadow and just let the balloon go, and then he'd grab the string again and then let it go again. It was so cute, he was having so much fun with it! 

And....drumroll please...the BIG project we've been working on! We decided to paint our kitchen cabinets. I've wanted to change them since we moved in, but never knew exactly what I wanted until I saw them on a friend's blog one day! Then we had to do it! It was an extremely time consuming job and the stubborn person I am, wanted to get them done before the boys' parties. Well, that didn't happen with Gage and Carter's party, but it was almost completely finished before Skyler's party. I did about 75% of it all by myself since Brandon had to work at H&R almost every single night. He did most of the sanding and helped with some of the painting and my dad cut all the beadboard and helped us caulk it.  

The new barstools - best investment ever - the boys LOVE them! And so do I because now all 3 of the boys can sit next to each other while I make dinner! (don't mind the blue tape and some other stuff, it isn't completely finished yet...but close enough, I still wanted to share it with you all!) 

Now, I need some new things to go on top of the cabinets and some new flour/sugar canisters...and just some new stuff all around! Any suggestions on colors??? I'm leaning toward grey/yellow/white combo, or maybe Red and turqouise??? Brandon thinks I have too much red everywhere else in my house...but what can I say? I love red! :) I'd love to hear your thoughts!!! Eventually we'll get the countertops replaced and a new blacksplash, but until then, we'll just enjoy the new white and bright kitchen!
