Diaper revisited.........

 

He we have Ella pictured, it's hard not to notice the diaper protruding out from under her onesie. Yep it's that time again, we've been a little slack on getting back on the cloth diaper Train, but now were All Aboard. With a cloth diaper covering her Caboose we are back on Track.

Here we see the diaper Station set up and ready for Ella to board that diaper train.

Thrifty Momma Mandy..........

 

Here's a couple pics of Momma Mandy's latest project. Here we have pic above an old book shelf which daddy Dave had dug out of the attic(was left behind from pervious owners). Being made of cheap partical board and fake laminate it wasn't the prettiest.

So after a quick coat of black spray paint........found in daddy Dave's garage.

And some contact paper............

The new and improved shelf is revealed .........very nice very nice.

Box tastic.............

 

Well in the past week or so our dryer crapped out on us, being in the rental business I some times have an extra appliance or two on hand. After replacing with another used dryer and it also crapping out it was time to upgrade and get a new dryer(having fixed or replacing the dryer and washer many times before this event). After picking up two new appliances we were left over with two rather large boxes.

Here Malia demonstrates just how large these boxes are. Momma Mandy had a great idea(pintrest), why not turn these boxes into a playhouse for Malia. These boxes are a little flimsy so a few mods may have to be made.

So after some modifications, framing using the original packing hardware. Some duck tape, a hand saw and a little planing the box began to come to life. Malia did supervise the whole ordeal.

Here's the finished product not so pretty but it does have , windows, doors and a Snoopy included(on roof keeping an eye out for the red barion). Momma Mandy thinks we should start charging rent, I hope Malia will be a good tenet.

During the thanksgiving holiday my ladies and I took a trip too see family in Ohio. We stayed at a nice bed and breakfast place hosted by the Schaller's. their home backs up against a wooded area and they are often visited by the locals...........deer that is. Great Grandma ta..tee throws out apples for them to enjoy. Pic above Ta..Tee, and Malia watch the deers there were a total of about 6 during this viewing.

With the deers enjoying the apples Malia decided she would like one also........

Fort.....

 

 

The other evening daddy Dave and momma Mandy decided to build a fort to sleep with Malia in for the night. This first attempt at the fort was built involving the ceiling fan, which seemed to be a good idea but Dave was worried about the weight on the fan so this was aborted.

 

So the couches were repositioned, while moving the furniture a stash of all sorts of goodies was discovered by Malia. Marker tops, crowns , crumbs, magnets, and many other odds and ends. Ahhhhhhh look at diss mommy!

After the clean up of the debris the sheets were attached to the curtain rod and then to the back of the couch via clamps and pillows. A bed mattress was put down and the nessary bedding acquired.

 

As the night wound down momma Mandy and Malia picked out a flick to watch.

Here mr poops lays guard he did join us in the fort but was kicked out later for being a bed hog and ruff housing.

Kitties......

 

During that recent trip down to visit a birthday girl, we stopped by the homestead for a quick visit. Here Malia was introduced to a new litter of kittens. She looooooooved them to say the least, still to this day she asks if she can go see the kittens at grandma grandpas house.

They were just small enough not to run away, but she was ever so careful with them.
