Coat Closet - A (not so) Quick Flip

Once we decided to start changing the house from Brown to White, I've been anxious to change out our coat closet.

In my mind I could see the white french doors standing bright against our dark dining room table.  However, there were a few (very well meaning) individuals who thought my desire for french doors was *not* a good fit for the space.  I cannot tell you how many times someone tried to talk me into bi-fold doors or sliding closet doors.

But what Mama wants, Mama gets.

And J wanted what would make me happy.  *Swoon*

Turns out, my vision was pretty dang awesome!

Though, in typical WigDiggity fashion, we ran into a snag.  When we ordered the doors, we were not anticipating a two week wait.  No big deal, we could live with the space being open for two weeks.  PIECE OF CAKE.   Haha.  The doors arrived with a manufacturing defect (primer was bubbling off the door) and Home Depot recommended that we wait for a new set to arrive.

Demo took 5 minutes

Well, dang.  We planned on having the doors done before #wiggydiggy's birthday party.  Now the new doors wouldn't be in until the following week.  Darn it.

Like the snowflakes over the closet?  Haha

When the finished product arrived we set up a painting station in the family room and I got down to business.  The next night they were hung and J put the knobs on in record time.

Finished Product looking mighty fine!
Even better than I imagined.

#Wiggydiggy - 18 Months

#wiggydiggy | 18 Months

They say 'The Days are Long but the Years are Short"  I disagree.  The Days are Short and the Years are Short.  I wish I could turn back the clock one year and live it all over again.

nicknames | bug, buggy, love bug, 

weight | 24 pounds   31 3/4 inches tall.  

size | 18 month- 24 month clothes and size 4 shoes.  Size 3 diapers (but size 4 are coming in the mail this week.)

sleep | You like your bedtime at 745/8 and you wake between 6 and 630 for breakfast.  You are taking 1 or 2 naps a day totaling 3 hours.  If you get the full 3 hours in the AM, you are good to go until bedtime.

Showing me you can "nigh-nigh"

eats |  All kinds of food!  Somedays you'll eat blueberries hand over fist.  The next day you'll refuse them.  But all in all, you'll eat what is in front of you at meal time.  You (sometimes) drink milk at daycare now!

loves | Being adventurous (climbing, jumping, swinging, etc)  Playing outside, rocking in your rocking chair, and hide and seek.

dislikes | Not getting to go outside, getting your nose wiped, waiting on food and drinking milk.

firsts | I don't think I've documented it anywhere - but walking backwards, spinning, climbing stairs without assistance all happened within the last few months.  You try to put your clothes on and love it when you get your feet in your shoes on your own.  Your vocabulary is booming as is your sign language.  You're just growing and developing right on track :)

Pretend 'brushing your teeth"

A January Sledding Adventure

Back in January we found a sled a Home Depot for under $5.  We couldn't pass it up, so we took it straight home and hit the streets for a little sledding.

He refused to sit up!  I tried to catch him with his mouth open and tongue out.

He flipped over and tried to eat the snow!  Oh, those belly laughs are the best.
