End of July randomness

Curtains:
For our new house I have made 8 sets of curtains and still need to make 2 more! While I have wanted to pull my hair out trying to come up with ideas for curtains, I'm happy with what I finally decided on. The dinning room curtains I've put on here before, but here's another shot:



There are 2 sets of those. Probably took 2-3 months to make those. I started with just the dark brown and HATED them. They were too short in my opinion and too dark. After awhile I finally decided to lengthen them by adding the light brown. SOOO much better! I think they're my favorite so far. Give me a couple more months and I'll love the living room ones as much. Seems to take 3-4 months before I actually love the new curtains!




These are the living room ones. Boy oh boy were they a HUGE pain. I literally spent 3 hours at ONE fabric store. At one point I was just sitting on the floor staring at 3-4 bolts of fabric. I left with out buying ANYTHING! I was so frustrated. I couldn't find anything I liked. I finally decided I no longer cared so I went to 2-3 different stores to just buy some. Yeah that went even better... I ended up buying 8 different kinds of curtains and coming home and putting them up. I hated them all. I cried a few times and decided we just weren't going to have curtains. Or I should wait until I wasn't pregnant and emotional...and then eventually I found the right materials! Shower curtains. I'm not kidding. I altered them of coarse, but I'm so much happier with these than ANY of the ones at the store. There are 4 sets of these.

And then there are 2 sets in the girls room. They are good enough for now, but if I had to look at them full time, I'd have altered them already. Eventually I will. They're not bad, they just need to be longer and less boring. Hahaha. Who knew I was so picky about curtains? I sure didn't!

While I had the camera out taking pictures the girls of coarse wanted their picture taken. They are too cute!



One afternoon the kids decided to climb in the dryer. I was pretty hesitant about it, but I did take some pictures. They looked darn cute in there, but we (Ryan and I) decided it was too dangerous, so they are no longer aloud to play in there! They had fun while it lasted though.

While I was pregnant Logan LOVED to blow raspberries on my belly. It was so cute and funny. He actually was really good at it too! We tried to get a video, but he didn't cooperate. While the camera was out the girls started dancing. The little toy Em is holding is playing some music, you can just hear it on the video. I love these babies. They are so darling!
