Build a Bear

Mike and I couldn't decide on how to do allowances. I found this idea on on Pinterest. It was LOVELY because the kids earned their "gimmes!" Castle Grandma and I took them to Build a Bear together. Mom surprised us and PAYED! She is the best! The kids LOVED their time and they LOVE their bears!

Trying to get a valentines card picture is the pits

I saw this idea on pinterest: Card
I thought I would try my hand at it! Now naturally Jax can't make the "I" sign so I thought I'd give him the heart job. . .here's what ensued:

Look, I threw it on the floor!

Oh again? Why yes, I can throw it on the floor again!

Not fast enough Mommy! Toss!

I'll just run away while I'm at it. I'll flash my baby-blues at you and you'll melt!

Okay, little cuss is just plain cute! But 10 minutes later, this is the best we can do! The heart is upside down, but that is the reality of Rozema Life!

The Long Awaited Project

Did you guess what Mike was building in the other picture? No? Well, feast your eyes on my new closet!!!!!!

And just so you don't go wondering if he did it all. . .no! He build it but I did everything else!!
I actually had the guy at Home Depot ask me if any of the paint got on the wall or if it was all on me. . .Yeah. . .it was oil based paint. I still have some on my forearm.

so the other night, we were downstairs watching a show when we heard this "CRASH-BANG-CRASH" We thought, "OH great one of the kids fell out of their bunk bed." Youve never seen 2 people run so fast! We got upstairs and both of our older kids were sleeping soundly. We then went on an investigation to see what could have made that noise. Well, our closet stood in ruin. YOu see the double rods on teh left? That was also on the right. The weight of the clothes ripped the entire section out of the wall which fell on the bottom section. The weight of that ripped the bottom section out of the wall. ( I should have got a picture of that but I was so upset!) I decided we needed a modified set of bookshelves like my kids' Godmother has. Mike made them and Viola! Gorgeous awesome full-of-space closet! I just can't believe how much more space we have now!!

Now, a friend of mine decided to do a February picture project. It looked like fun (and might be amusing) so I decided to do it too!! So here is day 1: Your View Today

I call this GORGEOUS! It's sun-shiny 60 degrees with a view all the way to the Trail! Might have to hit that trail later with the hubs!
