So we just had our home sprayed for bugs. I HATE fire ants. They are the devil's minions in the yard! So we a company called Safe Home come out to spray for them, spiders, silver fish, wasps/muddobbers/evil flying stinging bugs, and any other things that may be in our yard or in our walls.

What is so great about this company? Well besides their 1 year guarantee of dead pests they are ORGANIC! Yup thats right Organic. Their sprays contain stuff from crysanthemums, prometherine related stuff, and I don't mind they sprayed the baseboards because its safe for Wy-guy to play around and for Casey to run through the yard. They will come back in about 30 days to kill any of the bugs that are currently in the larvae stage and that should take care of them for the summer! Woot Woot! You have no idea how excited I am to have dead ants! And if it rains really heavy and we end up with ant piles in our yard they will come back out and spray those ants for free!

For our house and yard the first spray was only $45. The second will be $85 and then 4 times a year it will be $85. So its a little pricy but honestly, with all the money I have thrown out on ant killer that hasn't worked, this is more than worth it! When we moved in this past October, we paid $95 for a treatment that didn't work and I didn't feel safe using and ended up washing all the baseboards two weeks later. Then we got Raid, and a ton of granules to toss down and we still had ants. So, for under $400 we can be ant free this year, and to me that is really truely worth every penny!

For those that don't know or remember, Wyatt got attacked by Fire ants in his crib when we lived in Sherman. He went to bed and was awoken by being attacked. So I have a ridiculous fear of fire ants! So I will gladly pay a million bucks to be fire ant free. Now, in a couple weeks I will re-evaluate, but as of right not I am very happy. Especially since its 100% guaranteed!

So there is this woman who makes amazing jewelry and the majority of the profit goes towards trying to stop human trafficking. There is another lady who has a set of girl twins who has a blog. Well that lady is giving away a piece of the amazing lady's jewelry. Pretty sweet right? I thought so. Soooooo, I am writing a post about this give away for a chance to win. When I was perusing the website I found this necklace. I am kind of in love with it! I really want to put Wyatt's name and birthday on it. Perfect Mother's Day present haha! The contest ends this week. So if you all want a chance to win, go here.

So, it isn't Friday like I said it would be when I posted my big reveal. Wanna know why it is now Sunday instead? Well, because about 8:30 pm my sister in law texted me and asked hey do ya'll want company tonight? (For those that don't know we live about 3 hours from them so its not like its just a pop over to say hi typeathing). Apparently they were heading down this way to visit her family and wanted to know if they could spend the night. They would be here about 11:30. So, I go hunt down the husband at the neighbors and drag him home to clean while I finish my project hastily.

So they get in and we talk and end up going ot bed around 2ish. Up at 8:30ish to start preparing for the cookout we were having with the neighbors (which Bro and Sis in law knew about grrr). About noon we go out ot lunch at Babes. Then they left with my cute chubby (weighs as much as Wyatt does and is a year younger) nephew. We went home and finished getting the house ready for the visitors that evening. We ended up having about 15 to 20 people here. Travis made the most amazing brisket I have ever had! I made my friend Corley's amazing spinich rolls, carved up a cataloupe and made it all fancy (balled it and everything), and set out a fruit tray. It was a big success! About 8:30 everyone headed home and we cleaned up and went to bed.

Which brings us to today. We got up and went to a new church. I think this may be the right church home for us. We will see after next Sundays sermon. Today's wasn't the best I have ever heard. (The pastor kept repeating the same part of the story over and over). So if he makes up for it next week we will keep going there. Wyatt did NOT like being left in the nursery. He started crying when I left him and cried when we went to get him. Makes me kind of sad because he used to LOVE going to the nursery at the church in Sherman. I guess this is what happens when he doesn't go to daycare or the church nursery in months.

Well, without further ado. The reason you are probably here in the first place...


Before:


Ugly Brass colored metal and some funky technicolor beige seats.After:
I reupholstered the seats in pink and green ticking stripe fabric
And painted the fugly brass a pretty oil rubbed bronze and I painted the backs white.

I tried spray painting the backs, but it kept chipping off, so I just took some acrylic paint and tossed it on top of the spray paint.

I also made new curtains. Its a toile design in rose that matches the pink on the chairs. Eventually I want to put some green sheers behind the curtains.

Fabric costs (chairs only): $10

Spray paint: $11

Staples: $2. 67

Total cost of kitchen table makeover: $23.67

What do you think?

Well, we finally got out to the bluebonnet field with letters in hand. Problem? Apparently someone hates the letter D. Let me show you...

Even a stick is way more awesome than the letter D...
(I think this is proof he detests his middle initial...)

The letter A however is apparently Amazing.....

And just because...

Nature pic!

Friday I hope to be able to share with you my super duper awesome kitchen table makeover...It will be posted sometime this weekend for sure!

Today Wyatt and I are going on a secret mission. Father's day is still months away. But the bluebonnets are just days away from being gone. SOOOOOOO we are going to run to walmart pick up some wooden D-A-D letters, grab my camera, a man's dress shirt and tie, and go to the bluebonnet field.
So if its a secret WHY am I posting about it online for all to see? Because the person it is secret from doesn't look here bwahahahaha! Pictures will be posted later. In a super secret fashion ya know? Check back later for uber cuteness!

Edit:
UGH our walmart craft section SUCKS! So I went down to Michaels to get the letters and they were out of A. So I had to get the kind you have to paint and now am waiting for those to dry. Its supposed to rain in a few hours and i really want to get this done with a happy boy. Not a whiney I need a nap boy! Hurry and dry paint!

So the Texas state flower is the Bluebonnet. And apparently every child in Texas gets their pictures in them each year. Its like a rite of passage or something. Not wanting our Oklahoma born child to feel left out, we headed out to Zion Cemetary Sunday to partake in said festivities. It is about 10 miles from our house so we loaded up and headed out. Here are the results:

Now onto the potty training part. We are not potty TRAINING per se. However, Wy likes to use his potty when he thinks about it. And the past two mornings he woke up for the most part, dry. Then proceeded to pee a small ocean into his big boy potty. He gets all excited because he it makes truck noises when he pees. He also has been pulling at his diaper when he goes. However he could care less running around in his poo all day. Honey, did you poo? ::giggles and runs off:: I would think it would be rather unpleasant to be running around with a terd stuck to your butt. Apparently not. I am hoping in the next month or so we may start trying to train, if he is interested. It would be super nice not to have to buy diapers any more...or hold a wiggling child with a death grip to keep him from escaping while I wipe his tush.
