new

look and name.
after many hours and finger nail biting... i found a layout i liked, lost the blog, found it, and changed my mind about the whole new look for the blog.
so a little color change and a new name will have to do.

change

i am "trying" to change the blog template to something other then the blogger given templates.... AND i can't remember how to do it!!!
i think my brain is turning to mush.

two hours

were spent outside in the beautiful sunshine this afternoon... I seached high and low for our camera before remembering that it is in the car... aka with cody at his work. so we just went and played without any photographic proof that it happened.



in other news...
I am trying to paint our main living area of our house... stay tuned for photos
