sledding fun
We all went sledding at the Derby Softball Field hill. It is great for sledding but I have never taken the kids. Of course Trin was the first one down because she is the brave one! We all had such a great time. I even went down a few times. I hope we can get there again. I don't really want more snow but if we do, we will make good use of it.

Riana's new look
Riana has been seeing the pedi eye doctor I work for( alittle punny). After a year, her weaker eye is getting weaker and her stronger eye is getting stronger. Which we were following, hoping that didn't happen. But our first course of action will be glasses. If that doesn't help the problem then she will need to patch her stronger eye for a few hours a day.
These glasses were the ones covered by our insurance. I did order another pair from work for her. They weren't as cheap as I had hoped but I saved alot with my employee discount. Plus I figure she is the one that has to wear them and if she doesn't like them, she won't wear them. So these cute ones will become her secondary pair and she will have (in her words) more colorful ones. :)

Winter project
I wanted something new for my bedroom. I have gotten tired of the wallpaper that I have had since we moved it. But BOY what a project it turned in to.
Thursday I started ripping down the wallpaper. The top part (stripes) came down with out any problems. The bottom part (green) was horrible. I read on line that I could use Dish soap and warm water to remove the glue and backing. That did help but I don't think I will be using wallpaper again for a LONG time, if ever! The first color I picked was too dark so I went for a lighter color. It is called Sensual Silver. Not to be confused with Centrum Silver.
I also needed to repaint the trim and base boards. I also painted the doors to my room and closet, and the two cubby hole doors. They really needed it. I had to work Saturday morning so my painting had to wait.
When I had one wall left I let the kids draw on the wall. I told them this was the ONLY time they were able to write on the walls. They were so excited. They drew pictures and wrote their names. Then I painted over it. I finished Sunday night. Now I love my new room!!
little of this and that
Trinity pulled out her first tooth on Christmas night. Months ago when it started to get loose I told her maybe the Tooth Fairy and Santa would come on the same night. I really didn't think she would cut it so close. She was really brave when she pulled it out herself.
Then a week and a day later, she pulled the other one out. What a cutie she is with her missing teeth.
