Kelly's Korner is one of my very favorite blogs! She has been doing this "show me your home" link party for several weeks now...I have wanted to join in, but never really get around to it! So welcome to our (very messy) play room!
These are the french doors that lead into the play room...you can't really see it but that little door hanger says "no girls allowed!"
This is what you see when you first walk in...The pillows are silhouettes of both of our boys...
another shot of what you see from the door.... the table is painted with chalk board paint so the boys can color on it!
Some fun pics that I had blown up of our boys! Sammy on the left and Jack on the right....
This looks so messy...but the white shelf has puzzles, and lots of our little toys stored in red bins...To the right you can see the curtains...the long panels are burlap and then the topper is made of a small hounds tooth....
This is some fun art work that the boys have done over the years... and then under it is costumes and dress up stuff!
This is one of my favorite things in our whole house...it is a word find with our names and all the future baby names that we like! There is a fun little bell hanging to the left that the boys LOVE to ring!!! The pillows are some floor pillows that I made and had monogrammed...the boys like to lay on them to watch movies or play with them!

My friend Brittany came to the house the other day to do a quick little photo shoot with the boys...they are darling!!! I really didn't know what to expect because the boys were definitely not on their best behavior while she was here....but she sent them to me today and I don't know how I'm going to decide!!! They are all so sweet and definitely capture both boys personalities! Her style is so fun! She is one of the most talented people I know and just a super sweet person!
Thanks so much Brittany!

A fun thing to do with old Christmas cards
Every year we get the lots of fun Christmas cards from family and friends...I feel so bad just throwing them in the trash...so this year we are doing something with them! Each night at the dinner table we let each boy pick a card and then we pray specifically for that family! The boys love it and it's teaching them te importance of praying for others!

handmade Christmas
I decided to make a few of my gifts this year! It has been so fun...a bit stressful...but so fun! I saw these little felt houses on ETSY a while ago and really wanted to make the boys one...these pics were taken before it was finished and there is one more side that looks like a little house...I will take more pics on Christmas morning...Here is just a little peek at what has been taking every free moment lately!
This is the little gas station side "Jarvis 66" instead of Phillips 66.... the gas pumps are attached by velcro so the boys can take them off to play...
The Market side... this one took the longest! Most of the food is attached with velcro and there are two little brown sacks so the boys can go shopping! I tried to do some things that they like a lot...there is a loaf of bread, eggs, milk, ice cream sandwich, doughnuts, carrots, bananas, candy....
The Post Office...this side has a little mail bag with two letters for each member of our family...they are all color coordinated and each person has a little pouch. this will teach Sammy his colors and teach Jack the spelling of our names....



I have made lots of other things too...I just can't post them until after Christmas...
