Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

 We decided the first interaction with snow should be in the safety of the bathtub... :)

 Our kitchen floor (minus re-installing the trim) is finally finished!!! It's so beautiful :)

 Once upon a time while living in South Carolina, I went to the bathroom in a restaurant. And I fell in love with the walls. So much so, that I asked the owner where the pattern was from. And I bought the stencil. And I saved it. For three years. Yes, I know. Obsessive much? Most of our house (except the laundry room and one wall of the kitchen is textured, so I feared I would never get to use my beloved stencil. I also couldn't figure out how to use two colors that wouldn't make it "90s stencil cutesy". I finally saw (yes, on pinterest) to use the same color of gloss paint over satin wall paint for a subtle patterned look. So on Christmas Break, I FINALLY used my wonderful stencil... :) The above picture is the stenciling in progress; the below picture is what it looks like finished (except it's on the entire wall). It's a really subtle effect, and I love it!

 Mr. Snowbunny trying to figure out how he's going to bend down and pick up that pacifier... 

 Sawyer LOVES the snow. He throws a huge fit when he has to come in. We've learned it's better to not *quite* bundle him up completely, so that he will get wet and cold and see the value in coming in. When he's bundled like an eskimo, he could care less about coming in, and he wants to live in the snow forever! :)
