Spring Clothes Time!
By the title you might think I mean time to wear spring clothes but not yet. It is still pretty cold out there! I mean it is time to get them out and assess and buy! It is no secret that I love to get a great bargain! I got that from my mom. I found found that kids clothes are a great opportunity for bargains! You do have to work for it though. At the end of every season I hit the stores buying up clothes for the next year. It has always been pretty easy to project what size Ben is going to be. He has pretty much been right on what he is supposed to be (although now his sort little legs are throwing me a little since he is still wearing 18 months pants). The past week I have been to Belk, Dillards and Old Navy buying up winter clothes and shoes. I got some great deals. I got 7 things at Old Navy for $18 which was awesome! Along with this comes pulling out all the spring/summer clothes that I bought last year at the end of the summer. So here is what our guest room looked like this weekend...
I did pretty good overall with the clothes. I have a few more things that I need but I have a great head start on the summer. The only thing I overbought was bathing suits. Do you think the little guy needs 8?
Now starts the fun of the consignment sales!! There are 2 this weekend (MOMS and Kids Kloset). I always try to go to them all especially on 1/2 off days. I am excited because tonight I got tickets to the early sale at Kids Kloset so Jennifer and I will be heading out to get some great bargains! I love doing this and trying to get deals as well as awesome clothes for my little guy.

Fun Family Friday
This cracked us up - He was playing store and had play money. He took the play money and ran it through like it was a credit card (you can see him swiping below!) He doesn't know what you do with real money. He only sees mommy and daddy use credit cards! A sign of the times!
Riding a cow!
A fun time was had by all! We had a good weekend even with Matt working. We got to hang out with a bunch of friends all weekend and then had church yesterday! Today we are back at it getting ready for a big week - BIRTHDAY!!!! I can't believe my little baby is going to be 2 on Sunday! We are having a big party on Saturday so this week will be spent getting ready!

The Big Reveal!!!!
I love how the red wall turned out!! I love love love the pictures on the wall too!
The left side - this is for the Wii. Note I do need to get more stuff to put on the shelves. It holds a lot!!
The left side! - Matt and Mike did an amazing job!!!!
The window seat!! I actually helped to make the curtains!! We are having a cushion and some pillows made so that should be added soon.
Super fun chalkboard wall. Hopefully we can teach Ben to only write on this wall!
My favorite part - all the storage! There is so much room for toys and books. I haven't even filled it up yet!
The art area! Don't you love the giant paint brush and palate (Pottery Barn - my favorite store!) We have ordered 4 little chairs to go with the table so they should be in soon. I am also working on a way to display art above the table with frames and clotheslines.
Ben loves his new playroom!!!!
