Dear Spring....

.... I know a very sweet little boy who is ever so anxious for you to arrive.  Please hurry up.

This and that

Really this post is about nothing at all, I'm actually just avoiding tidying up the house.  But here are some snapshots of our cute little man and the little things we've been up to this past week.

 Story time with Dad

 Watching a little B-ball

 Chillin' like a villian

 At the zoo (pretty sad shot I know but Carter's favourite thing to do is go down the slide headfirst - hence why I only took this one picture and spent the rest of the time trying to stop him from going face first into a pile of slushy ice at the bottom)

 OBSESSED with going outside (spring PLEASE come soon!)

Our future pianist

A little before and after

I feel the need to update but to be honest have been terrible at taking pictures since we've been home from our holiday.  So for the next week I will commit to take more pictures of my cute little man (because really that is what this blog is all about!) but in the meantime I'll share this little diddy of a project.  Currently we have one of those CHEAP ikea table sets, you know the one where you get the table AND all 4 chairs for like $140 or something.  Well it definitely doesn't fill our space nor does it look so pretty since it's been used as a work table in the renovation.  So I bought an old table off Kijiji that I plan on sanding down and painting white.  I was kindly given 4 of these fabulous old chairs from Mike's mom and have been so excited to transform them.  They were in pretty rough shape (that mark on the seat is a big ol' tear) but with a little loving are looking much more to my liking!

 

 BEFORE

AFTER

I had sanded it down in plans of painting it white to match the table but am considering (yes, on your advice Simone) just leaving them in this state.  I need opinions!!??  Obviously seeing the table would help but it is a little too ugly to reveal at this point.  

Aloha!

Here's our fabulous week in Hawaii (sorry for the overload of photo's)!

 Ready to take off

 Carter's first reaction to the sand was pure hatred!  He screamed and screamed.  Thankfully within 10 minutes he was good to go!

 A sorry attempt at a group shot with kids.  So good to see and spend time with Paul and Nancy and their cute little family!

 Carter injested A LOT of sand over the course of the week.

 Carter dead alseep at the end of our hike.  Notice how pitch black it is.  I ended up seperated from the group, had low blood sugar and NO food, had Carter in my arms, in the darkness, in the JUNGLE, and was pretty sure I had turned the wrong way.  Probably one of the scariest experiences of my life!

 Love this shot!
