M & M Dahle Family: Dresser Drawers Project

Dresser Drawers Project

We decided to search thrift stores for a "new" dresser for baby number 2. Mark found one. It was purple and white and had stickers all over. Lexi had a used wood dresser that could definitely use some work. SO, Mark and I decided to make it into a fun project. We had a fun time choosing out colors and painting. We figured yellow and green can easily go for both genders. Just throw in some pinks or blues and there you go. We forgot to get before pictures but we took some as soon as we thought of it. We're pretty happy with the final products.

Carissa said...: Cute! I love crafty painting projects 1 You guys did a really good job! What's with us pregnant women taking on projects though? I remember doing the same thing with an old dresser back in Jan when I was 8 months pregnant with Ashlyn. Only it was winter so we did all the painting and sanding in our kitchen :); July 25, 2008 at 7:08 PM

Out of the Mouth of Babes

April '10

Lexi wanted me to trace her foot on one of those magnetic drawing boards. So I traced her foot but didn't go between all the toes and when I was done I said, "There, how's that," Disappointed she said, "Uh, not so good. " And put her hand down to be traced instead.

Usually when we go out as a family to eat we go to Arctic Circle. They have a fun kid's play zone there. One night we all went out to eat at Chilli's. We were all happily eating our food and Mark leaned over to Isaac and said, "This is fun isn't it?" Lexi disagreed, "There's no slide here," and took another bite.

It was REALLY windy one day and I heard a thump outside. The wind had knocked over the garbage can and I told Lexi what happened. Her response, "Not a good choice, wind!!" with her finger up in the air.

Me: What's your favorite color?

Lexi: Peanut Butter

Lexi was laying on my lap. When I asked if she was tired she said,"I'm going to sleep here." I tickled her a little and she said, "Don't tickle me. I'm not laughing." A few seconds later... "Tickle me!"

Mark was getting Lexi a drink and requested one of Isaac's sippy cups. Mark asked why she wanted that one and she replied, "'cause I'm silly"

We got a blue Hawaiian Punch that Lexi had never had before. She took a sip of it, looked at her cup and said, "Mmm that good! I feel better!"
