Show Us Where You Live Friday....and my award :)

Can anybody say hallalujiah its Friday?! Be sure to visit my friend Heather for a tour of her living room, as well as Kelly over at Kellys Korner for more living room tours!

Today is my living room. Now, don't get too excited. It's nothing fancy :) I used to be fancy (well....more so than I am now at least....), but then my kids came along, and well, you know how that goes. :) No more little knick-knacks on my tables and cutesie little pictures and candles everywhere. No siree. Not in my house. My home is extremely kid-friendly. Every "pretty" thing in my house must be hanging or on a shelf that is 5 ft or taller. :)

Anywho.....here goes.......

This is what you see when you go through the front entry way and look in to the living room. Very simple. Love the chair in the corner.....very comfy and great for reading. :)

The opposite wall of the long couch.....here is the love seat. Hope you can't see the walls toooo clearly in these pics....we desperately need to get our living room painted. Fingerprints galore! It's on our to-do list....

This is one of the few things we have out. Up until about a month or so ago, this end table was completely bare. All the time. Just not long ago, I set out this cute vase and put this picture frame on it. Jer took one look at it after I put it out, and said, "mommy is feeling brave". yup. sure am. The picture frame has been kocked down and kicked around a few times, but so far, nothings broken. (BTW- that is Jeremy's parents in the frame, with all 4 of their grands- our 2, plus Jeremy's sisters 2 boys).

Another look at the living room. That's the kitchen area to the left.....and again....love all the windows in the living room. Very bright and airy. :)

A plant that we got from our church's choir after Jer's grandma passed away in March. I have a very black thumb.....but so far, it's still alive!! :)

Love our fireplace :) (oh, and yes, the TV is on....Isaiah was watching Shrek when I took these pictures)

This matted picture frame is sitting on the mantel on the fireplace. Just love it. I gave it to Jer for Christmas last year. Our youth pastors wife made it for me :)

An overall view of our living room. with chewy again. Of course. :)
