Tomorrow

Once again its snowing out. I did not order this at all. My big girls and hubby have taken a trip and hit some not so good roads and even saw a few accidents. When hubby called he said it was starting to clean up some. He is taking the 2 big girls 3 hours from here to see their biological grandpa who lives in PA. Thankfully he came to MN and we did not have to get all the way to PA. Abby will be 6 in January and she has not seen her grandpa since she was 1 and Jade who will be turning 8 soon saw him when she was just 3 years old. Grandpa wanted to actually come get the girls and take them for a few days but we just did not feel comfortable with that yet and Jade said she wanted Dad to go with. They will stay in a hotel tonight and come home sometime tomorrow night. I know all 3 of them were a bit nervous about this trip but I think its very good for them to know their grandpa. They have talked with him on the phone alot and get mail from him often as well. I know they will have a lot of fun since they get to also see their aunt and 2 cousins. They do see them every few months.


Me, I am stuck at home with the little ones. I love being home with my babies. I am alittle disappointed I couldn't go with them to see their reaction though. Hubby took the camera and has my orders to get good pictures. I miss them already. I am just telling myself its only until tomorrow.

He's on a roll

Hubby got the floor done yesterday in the new playroom. Sadly we bought the paint a year ago and it took this long to get done! Now he is trying to move all the toys down there. I had to tell him to slow down. I still need some toys upstairs too.

We used a special flooring paint and added some color to it with some flooring sprinkles!
We have never had any water in this room but its still a basement and there is still a small chance of it happening. So I am happy with a painted floor for now.
We will be adding an area rug in the room.

I still can not believe how much more inviting the room feels with the little work we have done to it. Its amazing what a little paint can do. The girls were super excited when we were checking out the floor last night to see if it was dry.
The big girls started running in circles and Maddison was dancing!


Oh and just to show you my cute little girl, Maddison!

She is wearing a cute Christmas sweatshirt I got last year on clearance.

Sadly I just found it though. So much for wearing it alot.

Oh well, it will make a great sweatshirt for my niece! It should fit her next year!




Oh and if you can't tell by the picture the floor is tan with red, brown, black and dark tan sprinkles.

Ocean View Blue

Look what we're up to now!

The old look-
old light-





New look-

My little helper

My Second Helper

3rd Helper

Even a new light!

We're getting a new playroom!

Well the Wynn kids are.

Somewhere in between painting and changing dirty diapers

we found time to dance it up!

Hopefully more pictures once our room is complete.

Floor still needs work and toys need to be placed in the room.

This is a start. I waited over a year to get this far with the room.

Oh and did I mention? I am in love with Ocean View Blue!

I am thinking a white curtain for that ugly window. What do you think?

Mason

Mason is now 4 months old! He has grown so much. He has outgrown alot of his clothes already and is moving into some size 6 month clothes.

I think he is a bit heavier than Maddison was at this age.

Even though he DOES NOT sleep through the night I love him anyways.

He got his second tooth on Christmas Day!

He loves to snuggle with his teddy bear and his mommy.

He has cute little dimples but you wouldn't know from pictures because he doesn't like to smile when I get the camera out.

What more can I say?

He's everything we wanted!

This is Maddison when she was 4 months old!
Now she is just a few months shy of turning 2.

Photo shoot!

I have been waiting to share some photos my sister and I had taken in early November. I wanted to wait to share them just in case my mom got a hold of a computer to look at my blog. We gave her a collage for Christmas! She seemed to really like it.

I don't think we were ready in this one!

I'll just keep this short and tell you it was an interesting experience. Trying to get 5 kids to smile and be alert when we needed them to was a challenge. The photographer did a wonderful job though. I am glad we did this.

Merry Christmas

Its Christmas Morning at the Wynn house. Santa has made his stop and the kids are actually sleeping in this morning. This is not normal.

The tree is lighting up the living room and the ground is covered in snow. It sure is a white Christmas!

I wanted to share this song with you today. For three reasons-

1) I love Rascal Flatts

2) Because I am thinking of all those people out there who are not home for Christmas. Our soldiers, those wonderful people plowing snow today so us crazies can travel and my brother who is stuck in Wyoming. I love you little brother! (He made it back safely with all the snow. He left a day early).

3) Because I love my family and couldn't imagine spending the day any other way!

Christmas Program

Lastnight Jade and Abby had their Christmas program for School. My parents came to town and joined us for the Christmas music. The program started with a prayer and then the school band played. The band was only about 8 students! Then the wonderful hand bell group played the bells. Jade is one of the bell players. Once a week she stays after school for about an hour and practises bells. This is her second year and she loves it.



Jade getting ready to walk in playing her bells. They even have to wear gloves to protect the bells.

2nd grade singing! Jade is the last one on the bottom row.

Kindergarten signing! Abby is the second to last one on the bottom row.

The whole school singing a song in Spanish! I have no idea what they sang!

Thankfully we sat towards the back of the auditorium. Mason decided it would be be fun to cry. Oh he cried. All evening he cried. Only thing I can think of is he getting another tooth already. I walked him in the hallway some and that helped for a bit but not too long.
