Pinterest Projects

As everyone knows my projects mainly come from Pinterest, so here are a few I've finished.

1. Aiden's guest birthday cake stand. I finished my cake pop stand. Inspiration from Pottery Barn kids. I'm going to make the cake pops look like the very hungry caterpillar.

2. Birthday balloon wreath. I'm going to hang this on our door for each of our birthday months. Let me just say my wreath is 16 inches and took 200 balloons and I lost a fingerprint gluing the banner on the back. Hurt sooo bad! But soo worth it!

3. Snowman kits. Today me and Erica had our monthly crafting day and completed 6 of these. I'm going to give 1 to my in-laws and to Wes' bro family. All the Lambert kids deserve to have fun when it starts snowing here, but I only spent $5 per kit. (We are keeping the one on the far right)

On a different subject. I finally got my 2nd bookcase. Our living room is finally complete and put together! 2 years later ;-) Only because it took me FOREVER to find the bookcases (after I had to return 1 and let down by the heights of so many.) The top 2 shelves are what I call the "adult" shelves I still have to organize them the way I want. I did score on some moss covered containers the other day that I'm going to put pretty white/cream fake hydrangeas in. The bottom 3 shelves are for Aiden (he totally won out of that deal). I recycled the bins that were in his room only because they are soft resin so if they are dragged across the wood it won't hurt it. I got 4 identical ones for the new shelf and threw in the color purple. We wanted to add another color since everything in our house was tan, blue, and green (Nature color freaks here). I made the labels myself and covered them with shipping tape so they won't tear. Now Aiden associates a word to a toy (Working on that organization skill).

Other news we had a little breakdown here Friday. Little man's breathing machine broke. AHHH! The worst time. I don't know what was up with me on Saturday but I COMPLETELY forgot. Mainly because he was doing good all day until about 4pm. Cough Cough Drainage Drainage. NOOOOOO! It was way past the doctors office hours. NOOOOO! So needless to say little man was up ALL night coughing and snotting and even threw up. NOOOOO! Thankfully my doctor is open on Sunday so we skipped church and headed over there at 10. Thankfully again we got his machine working. So Aiden hasn't been taking his treatments for 2 days and you can DEFINITELY tell. Poor little guy was draining sooo bad that my trash can is full of tissue.

I have him on a little cocktail of Tylenol, cold and cough, and honey syrup but didn't see much improvement. So at about 3pm I felt so bad for him that I gave him some of our local honey (Local honey helps your allergies. Very important if you live in Memphis because this is the WORST place to live if you have allergy issues.) He loved it and I could immediately see a difference. So I will keep that one in the book.

Our next nightly routine is baby Vicks rub on his chest and back along with the Vicks scent pad and our handy dandy frog humidifier. The newest trick I read about was putting Vicks on your feet topped with socks to help ease your coughing spells during the night. Trust me I had my doubts, but I've literally only heard Aiden cough 3 times tonight for a minute. MAYBE IT DOES WORK!

So lets hope Aiden doesn't wake up with a fever tomorrow morning.
