A little decorating and KU...yes KU!

I have made some small changes around the house... I guess I am ready for spring because I have been using some pretty, bright, springy colors! We repainted our bathroom--again! In the 4 1/2 years we have lived here this is the 4th or 5th time we have painted our bathroom! Good thing it is TINY and the bottom half of the wall is tile!! I bought a new spring shower curtain at Target! I thought it was pretty and a change from the last 3 or 4 animal ones we have had in there! I am not sure Seth is a fan, but that doesn't matter...he will live with it!In the kitchen we painted the walls this fun orange color about a year ago. I really like the color-I just added a few things! I bought this bucket to put on top of the fridge and added stickers to personalize it! It holds all of our "stuff" that doesn't have a home yet!

Above the stove I added a picture of my favorite chef! I LOVE having pictures of Dylan around the house!

On the shelves above the stove I added ribbon to a basket I already had to make it a little more colorful. It holds spices that I use the most often! I also have another picture of my handsome little guy!

This is what started it all...napkins! My mom bought these napkins at Kohls, to actually use as napkins though! I thought about them all night long because I loved the pattern and colors! Then it clicked, they will go perfect in my kitchen! My curtains before were black and white, which I liked, but these I just love! I know you can tell they are napkins, but I don't sew and each window cost less than $5-so for the whole kitchen it cost about $10!

This is so embarrassing, and I cannot believe I am showing this...our hall closet! We have these wonderful built ins in our hallway. Seth uses the bottom drawers for some clothes-the top shelves were just a mess! The very top shelf was full of kitchen towels, why I have so many I have no idea, why they are there...because that is were my mom put some one time she was cleaning my house!! There were a million candles stuffed in there, art supplies, tools, toiletry items, medicine...a lot of those things stayed, just in better order!
About 20 minutes later this is what I had...a hall closet that was clean and organized, 3 bags of trash, and piles of stuff to take to the basement. I had plastic bins, so I just added some things to them so everything has a place now! The kitchen towels are now in the kitchen (tons were thrown away-so yes mom I can buy more now!!) and bathroom towels will be in their place when they are out of the dryer! The side shelves look messy, but they aren't! The top is all tools that are used on a regular basis, the next shelf is camera supplies and batteries, next is medicine, then swimming stuff, sheets are on the next shelf, and on the bottom art supplies for Dylan. I feel so much better now! Tomorrow I will tackle the dining room! I am not sure when I will get to the bag full of school papers I brought home, but for now a clean and organized house is making me very happy!

Today to celebrate my dad's birthday we all met in Lawrence for the K-State/KU Women's basketball game. Dylan enjoyed looking out the windows more than the basketball game!

When we were getting ready for the game I gave Dylan this option...

This is what the little stinker picked out! He did have purple on under the sweatshirt! He thinks all boys like the Jayhawks and all girls like the Wildcats! Pretty funny, he is convinced my dad and Ashley's husband are KU fans! I am pretty sure my dad would be if Dylan really wanted him too, but not Uncle Brad (or mommy and Aunt Ashley!)Dylan and daddy looking at all the KU trophies...big deal...who really cares!! OK, a lot of people care, just not me!!!
