Operation: TRACK OUT!

Operation: Clean Gross Cabinets!

So one of my track out projects was cleaning our kitchen cabinets because they were so gross! I didn't really notice how disgusting they were until just recently. Here are before pictures:


As you can see: grime on the bottom ledge and white food streaks all over. I looked up ideas for the best way to clean cabinets because knowing my klutzy self, I would ruin them. I mixed vinegar, boiling water, and some dish soap in a jar. Then I used some elbow grease and scrubbed those gross cabinets.

All nice and clean now!


Operation: Welcome Baby Lear!!

Another track-out project has been helping my sister with her baby room. First we had to move all the old furniture and dog stuff our of the room and closet.


Step 2 was to patch up holes, put painter's tape down, and vacuum the room.

Step 3 was to paint all but one of the walls gray. This made a HUGE difference because the color before was like the surface of the sun...way too bright. The pictures aren't really doing the color justice. 

The gray is a much better color than the yellow. The one wall that is left will be an accent wall. If the baby is a girl the wall will be painted purple. If the baby is a boy, the wall will be painted turquoise. 


Step 4 was to get baby furniture!!!! We went shopping and found a great deal at Burlington Coat Factory! Here is the daddy to be, Hunter, setting up the crib. 



Today I stopped by another store for the dresser that will also double as a changing table. The next step of Operation Welcome Baby Lear all depends on the gender, so hopefully Hunter and Lauren will find out in a couple of weeks!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Christmas Parade

Because I'm a sucker for parades so we took Naomi to her first Christmas parade! It was a very nice day out! We tried Naomi's sunglasses on her...but they didn't stay on long! Every time a band passed Naomi was completely enthralled in them! Future band nerd in the making! :)

Seeing Santa

There is a fun farm in the area called Hill Ridge Farm. They have a really fun Christmas light show during this time of year. Santa is also there! We waited in line for 1 hour to see Santa! By that time Naomi was tired (it was 8:00) and ready for bed! Santa and Naomi snuggled for a little bit and Santa said thanks for giving him a break :) We definitely learned that next year we need to visit before the last weekend before Christmas! Unfortunately we didn't see the light show, maybe next year! :)
