Photo's from the B&B...


Hello again! As I mentioned before, I had a great time this weekend:) This bed and breakfast was in a HUGE old farm house, that used to be on land used for an actual Buffalo Farm!!! Now its way in the back of a very ritzy looking subdivision that was built around it- strange!!! I actually got kinda lost on the drive there because it was not where I thought it would be!!

The little tree above was in the entry-way of the b&b; which I thought was too funny because (1) its the end of January now!! and (2) it was decorated with Little People's!! My brothers had a lot of these when we were growing up!


This tin on the wall was so pretty and old/worn looking; I wanted to take it home with me:)


Here is the living room area; pretty cozy in there. I loved that couch, especially the colors!!


There were 2 of these HUGE window dividers in the middle of the living room. I thought they were so unique; I've never seen anything like that in a home.


This huge cupboard was in the hall outside of our room. I imagine it had linens in it; I wanted to be nosy and snoop but I didn't!!


The detail on this enormous shelves built in to the wall was unreal!!


Cute little apples on the way into the kitchen:)


What an amazing sized dining room! Holly, there are the hankie-buntings!! They set the table the night before for our breakfast the next morning.


This screen was in there as well and caught my eye because of all the gingerbreads hanging on it!!! CUTE ♥


Here are some antique kettles and baking items.

Cute little wooden kids kitchen set!!


Close up of the hankies!


Downstairs where our goodies were, was a big "game room". They had this old juke-box in there that still worked.


Look at all the old Coke, Pepsi and 7-Up nostalgia.


Haha, Mr. Peanut!!


Some old games and farm things.


This room was off of the large room we used for the crop. It was just chocked full of antiques!! I think it was a spare room.


A little collection of old play sewing machines.


A real OLD singer sewing machine!
I wonder how much this is worth now???


This cracked me up! An old wooden potty!
I have NEVER seen one of these before!!
When do you think this dates back too??


A little old toaster collection!


This dishes in the window are adorable!!


More dishes...


We had a pretty dull room compared to the others:( I did take a few pics that I'll post tomorrow, along with the stuff that I worked on while I was there.

Breakfast today was good but I guess the BEST breakfast was yesterday before I got there:( Today, we had apple/cranberry compote with granola- YUMMMM!! We also had baked eggs (so good) smoked sausage, Amish wheat toast, orange-chocolate chip muffins (YUMM!) and coffee/juice! I love B&B breakfasts!!

I stayed up last night till 1am cropping then went to bed. We got up at 8 am and ate; then I went back to bed for over and hour! Wish I could do that everyday:)

I really hope to be able to go again next year! It was so relaxing- speaking of relaxing, I'm BEAT! Time to go to bed:)

Today is PARTY day!!

Whew! I am counting the minutes down till I can get away today for my "Surprise thats not really a surprise" birthday dinner with my gal pals! Gage has been super whiny the past 2 days; its driving me crazy! He is typically very mellow and happy but I am wondering if maybe he isn't coming down with something? Looks like a trip to the dr. on Monday is in order. Gavin has been demanding candy since his Christmas Party yesterday at school! He has a natural sugar high most days anyway, we don't need to add to it!

Since the big 3-0 is coming on Monday, I decided to go out on a whim and do something a little wild! I got hi-lites put in my hair the other day, but... she put in blonde and pink!! It looks so cute though, I just don't have a good pic to post yet.
I needed to do something to make me still feel 20-ish! lol:)
My sons are making me feel waaaaaaaaaaaaay older than I am lately!

Here are some more pics from our Christmas photo shoot the other day. We were supposed to have a family photo done but Brian took a job that has him working about an hour away from home so he couldn't join us:(

This photo below is a gift for Brian for Christmas. I didn't even realize that Gage was doing the Shhh... finger but our photographer added the Don't Tell Daddy which I thought was too cute! She is SO creative!



This one is sweet too:)


This is about as much cooperation we got out of Gage on this day! lol I kept telling him "Bring mommy a ball" so he would at least look at us somewhat!


At least Gavin posed nicely! Not his usual big toothy grin though:(


Big brother telling little brother what to do; that NEVER happens in our house! (yeah, right!)


My favorite one of all! My 2 little turds! lol


I am soooo ready for Christmas to be here! How about you? I still need to get Brian his "big" gift and a gift card for my dad and then I am DONE! I got most of my wrapping finished the other day, whew! I usually love to wrap but this year it was a burden, probably due to all the other stuff I have had going on. Well, I am off soon to get the boys hair cut and to run a couple quick errands. I'll chat more tomorrow and hopefully have some pics from my birthday party:>

Happy Saturday!
