This playroom needs help!!!

I'm entering a contest through The Lean Remodeler for a new playroom by the Wilsonart Design Team.  Be sure to check it out HERE.

Why? THIS...


and this...


and this...


ugh...this...


With the redesign, we could have a functional and FUN playroom for L&K to enjoy, relax, create, and be inspired.

And in the fact that I don't win, I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions of what we could do. As you can see, L&K have got a jumpstart on the wallpaper removal. :)

March for Babies - 2010

This past Sunday, L&K and I completed a 5 Mile walk for the March of Dimes aka March for Babies to raise money for prematurity awareness.  Yes, I pushed my big boys for 5 miles rather than than 1 Mile Buggy Brigade set up for strollers.  It took about 1 hour 40 minutes, a rice cake, a granola bar, a banana, and a cereal bar, but we made it!!  Oh, and due to a meltdown at the completion, the boys were happy to receive a lollipop.  I have learned to carry my "secret weapon" at all times.  Judge me if you will, if you had more than one toddler, you'd understand.

We were proud to be part of this wonderful effort and are happy to report that Team Murray Boys were about to contribute $245 to the $250K raised for the Columbus Walk. Bennett & Kendyll had contributions made to our team rather than create their own, so thanks for Sara for the shout out on her blog.

Walking with us was Olivia's (27 weeker)  Mom, Courtney, Courtney's sister, and Parker (34 weeker) with his Mom, Vicky.  We truly missed our friends B&K(32 weekers), but Mommy was not feeling well at all.  They were with us in spirit and we look forward to future walks with them :)

Thanks everyone for your support. 

I LOVEConsignment Sales!!!

The Columbus Mothers of Twins Club is having their bi-annual kids consignment sale this weekend. As a member, I got to shop last night.

$76.50 is what I spent, here's what I got:
9 pair shorts
2 pair swimming trunks
10 T shirts
8 set of pjs
6 pair of pants
1 sit n spin
5 books
1 bag of cars
1 dinosaur
1 dragon

So, we have a pretty good start at our summer wardrobe. Now, let's hope most of our stuff sells. Judging on the lines and the amount of purchases last night, I bet this sale will be very successful. Last year there were $76000+ sales in a 6 hour period. The "sale" is by far the biggest perk of the club.

And No Mark, you can't buy twins at the Twin Sale. =)

New Look

I've been playing around with Photoshop and created this header with digi elements from Carrie Stephens and a super cute photo of the boys sporting their new haircuts. They look like such big boys now.

Let me know what you think. About the header, not the boys......I'm a little biased on the super cute part! :)
