Garage sale finds.

A few weekends ago I decided to try and hit up a few garage sales to see what type of things I could find.  It wasn't a very good day as far as weather goes but I did come home with a few good things. 

Like this lovely jar that I snagged for $1.

I have it in my bathroom and stuck a candle inside.  If anyone else has any good ideas about what I should use it for please let me know!

I also snagged this little vase for $0.10

I love the color, and it looks great in the guest bathroom.

I also got 2 mirrors for $5.  

I originally thought I would paint this one silver and use it in the guest bathroom but now I'm not so sure.  The mirror is pretty old and has spots all over it.  I think it would look out of place with a new coat of paint.  I love it how it is, I just don't know where to put it.

(p.s. don't say anything about my appearance...at least I got a lot done today :)

This is the other mirror.  

I love it too, but I'm not sure where to put it.

 Lastly, I've had this frame forever but I could use some ideas about what to do with it too.  

Do you see a recurring theme here?  

I'm not such a great decorator :(

 

Catching Up

The beginning of April I took Wes to the Nature Center and He LOVED it!  He had a blast ....

...running around while I tried to take his picture.  

Later in the month we went on a road trip with Grandma Wilkins, Aunt Ann, and Sydnie to Utah.  

We had lots of fun...

...touring the conference center

including the rooftop park which Wes thought was pretty great.

Wes also thought it was great that Stanley was staying with his grandma (aunt Terri whom we were staying with) all week so he always had someone to play with!

 The one thing Wes told me he wanted to do while we were in Utah was to see the BIG temple.  He finally got his chance on Thursday and he was so excited!  The first thing he told me was "where are the doors? I want to go inside now!" 

I told him he would have to wait another 10 years before they would let him in but he took a picture with the doors anyway. 

Next we went to the visitors center so Wes could see the Christus.  He thought it was awesome and didn't want to leave. 

Finally,we drove to Idaho so we could drop Sydnie off at school.  Wes got really attached to her on the trip and it was sad to say goodbye.

BUT...he was sure to give us this cheesy grin for the picture :)
