My Little Circus & Me

Tuesday, August 6, 2013

Ok so my kids are obsessed yes obsessed with this damn Banana Dance!

What is the Banana Dance you ask? Well it's this little cartoon banana dancing & singing & then he rips off his peal swings it around & you see his banana butt cheeks!! (it's pretty damn funny) I think my kids reaction to it is even funnier probably why we watch it a million times!

How did we find said Banana Dance you ask? Well do you know the PB Jelly song?

If so you have probably seen that dancing Banana well the other "Banana dance" showed up on the side of You Tube & we were like what's that?

So we clicked it & never should have because my children are addicted to it! B screams for the dancing Nena (that's what he calls bananas). He then rips off his shirt throws it & says "get out of here you Nena" (the kid is crazy)

So with out further ado here is the damn Dancing Banana that has me singing this damn song day after day! I apologize in advance because it will be stuck in your head!

Mischievous Monday Blog Hop

I'm super excited to be co-hosting my first Blog Hop under Southern Mess Moms: Since the title is Mischievous Monday I figured I share about my sneaky little 14 month old! We made cupcakes today & I put them in the fridge so the frosting would not melt off well every time anyone opened the fridge that little stinker hauled butt and climbed up to grab frosting off a cupcake! We had to laugh because he's so cute & he thought he was hilarious he would give us a big cheesy mouth covered in frosting smile!

Don't forget to Tweet, Share & Pin the Hop!! :)

While we were home visiting he wanted to take the boy's to go see the truck's, if you have boy's or are around little boy's well you know they Love truck's!! A & B were so super excited to go see the Fire Truck's with Uncle D

So here is our tour of the fire station :

DIY Chicken Wire Picture Frame

I was shopping at Michael's one day & found this silver frame on clearance for $5 it was so cute I couldn't resist it. I had no idea what I would do with it so it sat in my closet for awhile.

I used to have a really big bed frame with a huge cast iron headboard it was beautiful but our taste changed so we sold it. We'd love to build a wooden pallet head board but with trying to sell the house we figured we should wait. So above my bed was a blank empty wall BORING!!

So I knew I needed to put that frame there. I have seen chicken wire frame's for sale & some are pretty pricey I figured why buy one when I can make one :)

So off to Lowe's I went to get supplies:

Staple gun & a roll of chicken wire hubby already had wire cutter's in his tool box. I stapled the first part of wire on and then cut the amount I needed! I got a little staple happy but oh well at least I know it's on there good.

I wanted to clip pictures to it but decided for showing purposes people didn't want to be staring at pictures of us so I came up with the idea of "Sweet Dreams" above the bed

I found little luggage tags at Michael's then cut off the top & used a stencil & sponged on the paint. I then used mini clothes pins to clip it to the chicken wire. I still think I'd prefer pictures but it works for now & at least there is not just a plain wall.

Oh & I used command strips to hang it that way no holes to patch!!

What do you think? Have you ever used chicken wire for a DIY project?

After a 2 week trip with 2 nights in a hotel 4 days worth of driving total and 12 days back in our home town I've learned a few things.

*Busch Gardens is super nice

* My dog has the life

* I'm so glad we live in a ranch style home stairs and 14mo old's are not cool

* Hotel room coffee tables and my babies ear don't mix

* I miss home like crazy

* There is so much more for my kids to do back home in NY then in NC where we currently live

* I want to eventually live in a wooded area where its quiet
