Key Lime

Karina was eating a key lime pie yogurt yesterday and she wanted to know what a key lime pie was.  Teaching moment!
We made a pie.
 This book is the key to all cooking knowledge.  Best and most used gift ever.
 I have never made a key lime pie but it looked pretty simple. 
 If you want the recipe let me know.
It wasn't ready until this morning but it was worth the wait.  Very yummy.

Paint!

My mom asked me a while back what I wanted for Christmas.  I thought about it for a while and I decided that I wanted my house painted.  My mom has been asking to paint my house ever since we moved in so I thought this was a great idea.  We, meaning mom, painted the living room/kitchen, nursery, Bruce's room, and Karina's room.  Pardon the mess, but here are some pictures.  
 Here is the living room pre-paint and pre-clean.
 I am in the process of taking down hooks and prepping the room for paint.
Bruce wasn't quite sure what to think of the whole thing.
Mom was scared to climb up the ladder.  She did it, but she was very nervous.
Here is the kitchen pre-paint.

 Now for the after shots.
 Here is Bruce's room finished.  We need to put up some kind of a border in between the two colors but that will be a project for another day. 
Here is the nursery.  I went with a celery green.  Mom called it radioactive when she started painting, but she was pleased when it was all done.  I think it looks really nice!
Here is the another wall in the nursery.
 Karina's room turned out really cute.  I need a border for this room as well, but another day.
 Here is the living room all finished and cleaned.  It feels so homey!
 The kitchen looks great as well. 

 Here is the living room all done.
 Merry Christmas to me!

Clinic

Last Sunday Alan came home and informed me that it would be nice if I could make some cookies to take to a few people.  I made delicious peanut butter cookies and we took the kids out to deliver.  Our last stop was at our across-the-street neighbor's house. 

She invited us in and we chatted for a bit.  While we were there she mentioned that she volunteers at the Canyon County Humane Society and asked if I would be interested.  I said that sounded like fun. 

She stopped by today with my volunteer packet and my hours.  I am now an animal shelter volunteer.  I will be working Wednesday's from 11:00-2:00 and Bruce will be there with me.  Should be fun!
