Magnetic Chalkboard Project

We have been working on this project for a month but finally have it done!  We applied 4-5 coats of magnetic paint and then 2-3 coats of chalkboard paint! This way we can hang things magnetically also.  We also mounted 4 cork board squares and a calendar to help with organization.  I would also like to add a couple bins for papers and all Kendall's school stuff!  We decided to do a whole wall in our mud room.  We pass by it everyday to leave and thought it would be the perfect place to keep everything we need.  So far we love it and Kendall enjoyed drawing on it last night.  I'm still getting over the mess it makes every time you draw on it but I'm sure I will!

    ooo! I've been wanting to do this. I have the paint but not sure if I have enough. How much did you go through for that big wall?
    I was going to do it upstairs and it has carpet...maybe I need to rethink my wall after seeing the 'mess' it makes. :)
    They do have markers that write on chalk boards, maybe that would be cleaner?

4th of July in Iowa

Image
I haven't posted in a while:( I've been busy trying to wrap things up before baby Johnson comes and have been fighting the pregnancy fatigue. We made our last trip as parents of two girls up to Iowa for the 4th. We met Brian, Amy, Ella and Will up there at my parents house.  We did a little boating, the boys played golf, we ate smores, the little ones played on the deck and big girls played on the beach. We also met up with Schables and friends out on the lake for the fireworks! We had a fun weekend at Mema & Papa's house!

Fall is Here!

I can't believe it is October already.  It's football season (aka Husker season) the cool weather has come in and the leaves are a changing!  October is a big month at our house of both remembering and celebrating.  Both things lead me to reflect on how precious life is.  Six years ago all the plans I had for life and my family changed drastically.  Today Kendall is thriving and I'm married to a great guy and Kendall finally got the little sister she wanted.  A lot has changed in six years but we are surviving and loving our life!  Kiernan celebrated her 1st birthday and Kendall has been busy with cheer and gymnastics!   Kiernan's 1st Birthday cake! Katie Ann Photography took her 1 year pictures.  They turned out awesome.  We love our little pumpkin! Family joined us for the big party! She ate every bit of her cupcake! We visited the pumpkin patch on a breezy Monday but the girls had fun and I got some good pictures!
