And then on Pinterest I see pictures of all these sexy gloss black interior doors with the nice, crisp white trim. And let's face it, white sucks! It sucks with kids, dust, kids... Kids... And gloss black is SEXY!!! It's black... It's glossy... And the idea of using a Swiffer over a Mr Clean Magic Eraser is, well, SEXY!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! So today I started the downstairs. Of course, in true Shana style, there will be more. Much, much more...<br />

<br />
I'd like them better if I was sure footed, so like high places like skyscrapers or bridges, I do well with. But ladders? YOWZAS!!! But I did some painting and decorating today... I like it... It brings something to that wall...<br />

OOPS!!!<br />
<br />
The boys and I were gone for a month visiting Seattle and Portland, and though I got a handful of creativity out, I still took time out from that and even working out. I needed that break, but now I am ready to get back into the game.<br />
<br />
I have been painting, and plan to paint some more. I redid the coffee bar to create a better, more neutral space. And I really do love Studio Taupe so much, I'm going to bring more of it to the house. It took me a long time to find the perfect taupe, I am not about to let it go.<br />
<br />
I also moved some of my art and belongings around to make the family room more mature, and the front room completely a play area for the boys.<br />
<br />
There is more to come!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;">Rosco Lee McGhee has inspired me to be a little bolder with my home decorations. I had to buy a new shower curtain and bath mat (not exciting) and as I'm going to grab the neutral beige ones, I ask myself "what would Rosco do????" I ended up grabbing the curtain with the adorable yet bright frogs and matching mat. Thanks Rosco!! You are my inner Martha (without the convictions)</span> <br />

CHAMP!!! But they were talking old American tattoos, and you know I love me my Sailor Jerry tattoos. So I was like hmmm... A red wall... What if I just did simple outlines of Sailor Jerry inspired pieces? YES!!! And seeing as how this will be a REAL coffee bar once I get my Keurig, OH IT'S ON!!! So above you see the SH SH SHARK!!! Did that one for B. Love the anchor, and my friend Jaymie does, too. Her hubby is a sailor!!! And my horse shoe.<br />

My laptop is collecting more dust than usual. So I need to update.<br />
<br />
Let me upload the pics and see what I've got...<br />
<br />
In update news, my favorite fire captain is being moved from my station to a new station, which means I still have my A-1 black team, I will keep his red team, and he now has a green team at the training center. So I could have to bake 3 days in a row, HA!!! But it will be going from a team of 6 like my original 2 teams, to a team of 14!!! Yikes!!! I think double cookie recipes, hee hee hee.<br />
<br />

She loves it... I think it's just black 550 cord knotted up all pretty and finished off. So I told her " bet I can do that!!!"<br />

I could not find gold, this was the only thing close I could even find.<br />

So my plan is to make salt ornaments for each holiday. Here is the first holiday, Valentine's Day. I love these ornaments!!! Easy to make, and Ro can throw them full bore on the tile floor and they don't break. I didn't color this dough, but St Patty's Day they will be green. I guess you can use Kool Aid mix to color, too.<br />
<br />
I'll attach a pic when they are done, they have to bake for 4-6 hours, so I'll decorate them tomorrow.<br />

Okay, so I never did the whole child proofing thing except the plug inserts which Ro now takes off and hands to me. I never did the cupboard locks, toilet locks, etc. I'm talking decor child proofing. Unbreakable items they can throw if need be, table coverings to help with cleaning, etc. <br />
<br />
I used to use place mats for Ivan, until they became a tool for getting into trouble. Then I actually staple gunned a plastic cover on our old dining table. And yes, I go between should I have a table cover, should I not. Well, right now I do and I decided to tape the edges to the legs, but the thing was still moving around.<br />
<br />
WAIT!!! I GOT IT!!!<br />
