random

I haven't had a chance to blog much, but here's a few random pictures and things from around the house these days...

This is what we woke up to on April 24!!

Jillian is taking an art class at the local rec centre and this was her first project...a mosaic mirror.  I absolutely love it and convinced her to let me put it on the mainfloor instead of her bedroom.  I'm looking forward to the rest of her art class projects (they will be working with a different medium each week).

Leah received this Creative Cakes lego set for her birthday and she LOVES it.  I get new and interesting cakes and cupcakes presented to me each and every day

I finally tackled the basement playroom on the weekend (I was encouraged by having my Father-in-law visit as an overnight guest because the futon in the basement in our guest room!).  I started out by tidying up but quickly realized nothing had an actual home anymore as everything had been so jumbled up by play.  Which is good, I'd rather the playroom get use than not.  I figured a fresh start was needed so I rearranged the play area then dumped and reorganized each bin.  Now it's much easier for the girls to find what they want and they have room to play.  I wonder how long it will last looking like this?

reading area and dressup nook (do you think we have enough princess and fairy dresses??)
