All Melted...

Here is what our house looks like with no snow. The junk in the yard is 100% visible now! Hoping to get that taken care of asap, our neighbors probably think we are trash!

So nice to be able to be outside without needing winter coats and hats to stay warm! Especially since Rowan takes her coat off with ease these days! DArn zippers, they need locks on them! Especially pajamas!

Naughty...

Never give a girl a bag of Bugles.....especially without supervision. No wonder she was being so quiet! Don't worry, Gizmo wasn't far away! Although he is a picky eater and didn't wany any anyway!

AuNt AmAnDa...

My sister Amanda was here to visit the last two days, on her Spring Break! No better vacation than Neenah! I think we gave her a good idea of what Neenah is like, although there was no sun! Therefore, we did a lot of shopping, in both Appleton and OshKosh! Amanda also got a good idea of what life is like with a toddler! Very unpredictable, I think it taught her to shop a lot faster!

Amanda brought us some tasty treats, that Rowan loved of course, but got very messy in the process! We are very glad that she came to visit! We hope she comes back soon!

Baking Cookies...

We made some cookies tonight, and had quite the little helper. She was good at tasting the different flavored chips, and washing her hands. Overall she did pretty well, despite the fact that we did it after dinner which is when she tends to get a bit crabby! We all survived!

Cheetos Puffs facial anyone?

Today at lunch, Rowan found it appropriate to wipe her Cheetos covered hands on her hair and face! Isn't that normal?
This is one instance, where the lack of hair comes in handy!
The top photo shows off Rowan's 2 newest teeth on the bottom! Excuse the fuzzy picture. It was too cute to not post!

First House project...

When I was at work on Friday night, Ed was busy completing his first project in the in house. We ordered these cabinets and countertop in order to build a computer desk in a much wasted area of the kitchen! We are now just awaiting our new chair to complete the area! We decided to invest in a wireless mouse and keyboard, otherwise a super cute almost 20 month old loves to climb up and type away!

Here is a before picture...
and after...

Excuse the random things laying around, we haven't really done any decorating in the kitchen yet. Nor have we decided where we will store things like my purse and the diaper bag!

Rowan, the Helper!

Yesterday, Ed decided to make Rowan her own step stool. Our plan was to get them from Ikea next time we were in the area, but we couldn't wait. Rowan always wants to climb on the chairs to be up where we are when we are in the kitchen or wherever, so Ed made a temporary one. But I think I am just going to have him make a couple more, it was cheaper than the Ikea ones, and I guess I can paint or stain them if I decide to!

So now Rowan thinks it is appropriate to eat her breakfast from her stool, and wash her hands constantly (you would never guess her mom is a nurse!)
