Long Time No See....

So, I apologize it has been a very long time since I have posted any projects on here.... life has happened. Literally. We are expecting a baby boy in less than 2 months and that has changed a lot of things in our lives. Since I have last posted, I found out I was pregnant, went on an organizing spree getting everything ready in my house for me to be sick and on bed-rest. The sickness hit and stuck around for longer than it was welcome for, doesn't it always?? Once it was gone, I knew my contractions would start immediately so my family took a quickie vacation to Moab, since our jeep wont fit another family member in it.... Fun times! Then, I decided we needed to plan another Treasure Trade event before I was put on bed-rest, and made a tight squeeze to fit that into our lives.... (pics to come) and then Summer hit! Busy Summer has kept me hot, tired, but running full speed with my 2 older kids. We haven't held back much and have done a lot of fun things and surprisingly my contractions have stayed under control! Yes! I have also gotten some fun projects done that I am excited to post on here in the next bit. BUT....Lets start with this picture...
This is a picture of my beautified laundry room :) It makes me happy, but hasn't always..... A week before the Treasure Trade was supposed to be held at my house, I was getting my weekly laundry day out of the way so I didn't need to think about it until after the Trade event was held and over with. Well, I had just had some company leave and I was doing like eight other things at once to get ready for this thing and I turned my mud sink (not in the pic) on to scalding HOT water to soak my clothes and walked away..... (for maybe 45 min or so) Since it was a busy day I had music blaring and kids watching TV and I was running around checking things off my list when I went down to my quiet basement to hear some water splashing.....not normal! I noticed, right under my laundry room, water spilling out into my basement in a hurry and I FREEEKED! I ran upstairs to find my laundry room and mud area full of HOT water!
 
Long story short, I had some amazing friends who came to my aide and we had it all cleaned up and drying in record time and luckily, there wasn't any major damage.....Thank you, thank you! We were able to get the whole thing dried out and put back together in time for the party thanks to an amazing hubby and father in law. AND I even got them to paint it for me! I had this can of paint sitting on the floor of the laundry room for probably a year, but nobody who wanted to move my washer and dryer out to do it! But no, I didn't flood it on purpose.....haha. Now, I have a happy laundry room that makes me happy :) ...Now onto decorating it! Thanks babe!
