Well here it is- it turned out so pretty. Pardon the blinds, but what would the Gralnik house be without blinds like these- Ally likes to bend them, I guess she likes the sound. I am planning to put the window film on the window(kind of like patterned contact paper) and then purchase some new white faux wood blinds. Thanks to my great hubby and Eric for all their hard work this week!
We took a trip to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, here is Ally eating a yummy doughnut.
Sorry, this is kind of a boring shot, but the kids are looking at the doughnuts being made through the window.
Ally moved while I was taking the picture, but here she is with her cute little hat.
The ladies in the back, after seeing all the little kids in the window, brought them all a free doughnut and the little hats. Emme is upset because the doughnut was too hot to eat. She must of been really hungry. I enjoyed that field trip, their doughnuts are so good, especially hot and fresh! Yummy!!
Well, what started out as me taking down wallpaper in our half bath, has now turned into another "project". We gutted the bathroom on Saturday taking out the vanity, toilet and smashing and removing the old tile. On Sunday, Todd and Eric tiled the floor.
Last night the ladies at our church had a night out. We went to a local flea market only open just for us. They had raffles every so often and I hesitated to put my name in only because I never win. Well last night I won ten dollars toward anything in the store. And I spotted this ducky stool. Ally as you can tell really loves the stool. It goes perfect in our ducky bathroom. I still need to paint the bathroom, but we are debating about the floor. There is carpet in the one half and tile in the other. So we shall see.
Ally trying out the stool and on the left side you can see Emme peaking at her, she really likes the stool too.
We went out with Mike and Farrah for dinner on Friday night. We had such a good time. It was good to laugh- when we are with them they keep us laughing!
I wish I would have taken some pictures, but we were able to go to my nephew Andrews' soccer game on Saturday morning. He played so well, it was fun to watch. Yes- they won!
Here is a shot of Amy and I- I was able to see her kids as well- they are getting so big. I brought my camera to take lots of pictures-however I did not do much picture taking- oh well!
We had the dinner at One Fish, Two Fish-(red fish blue fish- my mind automatically goes there) It was very yummy!! We had a great time and the girls, from what I have heard, did great while we were gone.
While we were out there they had a scarecrow and the wind blew his straw hat off and Ally ran and picked it up and put it on. She could hardly see and was falling over the pumpkins.
Ally following what her big sister was doing- trying to lift the pumpkins. I told them they had to be able to carry the one they chose.
Kylie finding and trying to lift the perfect pumpkin! Katie went with us- we had such a great time!
Here are some shots of the girls playing in the leaves today! It is so beautiful outside, we have the windows open, there is a slight breeze and all the leaves are falling. So fun!
We went on another field trip today to a local dairy. It was fun, but smelly!! The girls were able to feed the baby cows and see how the momma ones (and they are huge cows) are milked. The one Kylie is petting was just born this week! Then the whole process of how it is put into the cartons. We also went on a hayride and after that went and fed some goats. Then we were all given a pint of milk- most of us chose chocolate! Yummy! Then for lunch we had a picnic. It was such a beautiful day!
We went to Hillcrest Orchard in Ellijay, Ga- unfortunatley we were not able to pick any apples- didn't know that until we arrived. But we were still able to buy some apples and some apple cider donuts- yummy!! I also bought Todd an apple fritter- which he really enjoyed!
They had a petting farm there as well, which I am not totally crazy about, but my girls enjoyed it. Ally really liked the animals, I think because they were so tiny. The little chicks were so cute, they were born that week and there were some that were born that morning.
Thankfully right outside the petting farm was a sink and soap to wash your hands. That kind of grosses me out a bit. Anyway, they also had a little zip line and a big slide the girls enjoyed. Kylie loved the zip line and Allyand Emme enjoyed the slide a lot.
We did the cabinets this past weekend and a couple of doors and some trim. It looks so much better- very clean and fresh. As you can see in the distance the brown trim around the window, that will soon be white. We have new lights to put up and new flooring for the kitchen. For some reason I was not able to find in any of my files a before shot-so you can not appreciate the difference as much. But it does look a lot better!!
We also painted our kitchen and I finally found a table and chairs at Garden Ridge of all places. It was a seven piece set- so it is perfect. Things are getting checked off our to do list -Yeah! 
Well, Ally just went down for a nap so I must go and continue school!
I was out feeding the dogs tonight and my girls come running, we found a toad in the snake hole. (Well we think it might be a snake hole) I was like are you sure it is a toad? Yup- it was a fat toad. So we proceed to try and get him out so that we can put him in this little toad house that we have. We are poking him with a stick- he is not moving-so then I was like hey let's get him wet. So we go get a bucket of water and pour it over him. He jumps out of the hole and then of course being girls we all scream. Then I say hurry put the house on him. So I put the house on him and get a picture then Kylie pours more water on him and he starts to come out of the house. Had to get a picture- they have been waiting to put a toad in the house since we got this- what fun that was, however now I am paying for it from the millions of mosquito bites I just received while trying to poke the toad out of the hole- oh well the girls had fun. And what a funny picture!!
