HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)

This year it was just Matthew and I for trick or treating....Vanessa is too good for us and went to go out with her friends :) It was pretty funny though, we now live in Clearwood so this is Matthew's first year REAL trick or treating, every year we have gone to the trunk or treat at the church. So we got to the first house and Matthew looked at me and said "ummm....what do I do?" haha 

He decided to be a rubik cube again this year. Everyone LOVED his costume!! He's such a cutie...

 All his candy he got :)

 Then he had to organize it all hahaha

 He is totally my child haha his OCD is showing :)

Hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween :)

More than just the weekend project and updates :)

So we decided to change a few things in the kitchen...we didn't like the wood finish, counters or lack of back splash, so we started on the cabinets. Here is the kitchen before we did anything to it :)

 Nate took all the doors off and started priming them.

 The garage was filled with all the doors laid out to be primed

 Got everything primed, yeah that was a HUGE pain in the bootie!!!

 Everything finally got the 2 coats of paint :)

 Time to put it all back together again :)

 We changed all the hardware on the cabinets and drawers!!!

So now that the cabinets are all painted and put back together, we need to put up the tile and change the counter tops haha...I'll be so glad when this is all done and we can just enjoy the house!!!

Here are a few more then and now pictures from the rest of the house.....

 Not much changed in the bathroom besides the fact that I cleaned it and finished unpack it haha

Matthew's room then...

 Now

Vanessa's room then...

and now....it becomes more her room when there is more of a mess haha

 The kids rooms are more mini apartments for them lol they are so big. We rarely ever see them downstairs. They come down to eat, inhale food and back upstairs haha :)

We still have A LOT to do, but it is coming along. If I could only get rid of this dang cold I have held onto for the past 6 weeks I'd be a happy girl!!! Can't wait to start on the back splash tile and put the counter tops on :)
