1:Confession
I do not have a knack for decorating... my house has looked the same since we moved in almost 5 years ago. Case in point, the boys/guest bathroom still has these hanging up:
The twins are almost 6... and oh yeah, we do have another child that is already 3. Sorry Reese!
I went to FOUR stores yesterday looking for some kind of new
decor for the boys bathroom. I came home with 2 packs of ornaments and a
red decorative plate???
... told you, the worst.
... told you, the worst.
So anyway, we are planning on having the twin's bday party at our house again this year, so we have a deadline to get this house updated. We already rearranged some furniture- now for the decor.
These prints I bought at an art show by John R. Duke will be my inspiration for the living room:
Love the colors! (and with red couches there is only so much we can do ;)
Horrible waste of space....
I am searching for cool mantle ideas- getting rid of my sorry attempt at abstract ;)
And I need something new for these shelves:
We rearranged our bedroom and need something for over the headboard... I won't even tell you the husband's ideas- let's just say there were some creative slogans thrown around ;)
So all this dreaded decorating stuff has lead me to this:

Pinterest did not appeal to me at first... like I really need another thing to do online. But, since I started looking for decorating inspiration, I am loving it. All these pictures are in one place instead of a folder on my computer that I have to search for... awesome.
3. XMEN- Bilsland Style
Playing
dress up and pretend is one of the boys' favorite games, so I look at
Halloween as an extension of that... they just get to play dress up with
a million other kids.
Reese LOVED his costume. He got to wear it 3 days in a row, and he was still upset when he had to take it off. Goose and I haven't dressed up in about 4 years, but thanks to my friend Jessie's costume party, we had an excuse ;)
