Black Cabinet update!

I'm answering a question for Annie here. My black cabinets are holding up GREAT! (So are the countertops!) I scrub the cabinets (not as often as I probably should) but the paint is doing great--no chips or cracking. There are a few spots that got dinged by who-knows-what, but otherwise, all is well.

Hang Tight!

Ugh. I feel like I open most posts anymore by saying what a bad blogger I am. Honestly, my attention is just elsewhere. I hate that because I really enjoy having the blog to chronicle my kids lives. Hopefully I will get back in the groove.
A reader asked about the paint I used on the Nativity set. It's Krylon Silver Foil Metallic. I got it at Hobby Lobby (with a 40% off coupon, of course!)
I still need to do lots and lots of projects around the house so if I actually follow through, I will definitely document them on here.
Hang in there with me!

Snow....and a lot of it.

After 3 days back at school after Christmas break, we had 2 snow days. Actually, it wasn't too bad. Even though it is FREEZING (in the single digits and teens) the boys can't possibly resist playing in this much snow. Thank goodness for kind neighbors with four-wheelers and plows! That pile just keeps getting bigger and bigger!
The pile turned into a really great fort.

Our neighbor, Donnie O. having a blast and doing all of us a very BIG favor by plowing our driveways and our cul-de-sac.

The boys keep asking when the snow is going to melt. Hmmm.....maybe April.
