Delish!!

Doug returned home to us on Thursday at 11am.  He came home on a red eye and hasn't quite recovered from his sleep deprivation.  He brought us some delicious desserts from his trip to LA!!


 They were heavenly!!!


Luke's bed broke a couple of weeks ago and he has been sleeping in it without one wall. 


So we broke out the Big Boy Bed for him and gave him his new bedspread yesterday.  He went around church all day today saying "I have a big boy bed now" to everyone.

Friday we put the top onto our Banquette.  Hope to be finished with this soon.

And lastly, Max, Mer and Jack had soccer games yesterday.  Jack knocked in 2 goals. He was so excited. He earned Ice cream for the whole family. And that's what's happening around here!

The Soccer Players


Soccer season has begun!!  That's where you will find us Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. We have three official players and one who thinks he's official.

Doug is coaching Mer's team, they won their first game and Mer drove in a sweet goal that popped over the goalie's head.  It's Jack's first season and he's super excited and running hard with the pack.

Max says Soccer is his sport.  He took a beating in his first game with a foul that sent him to the ground followed by a ball to the face.  He's tough though!

And Luke just loves the fact that he has a uniform and he keeps saying "maybe I'm 5 now" in hopes that he can go play on the team.

 Switching gears, here are a few things you missed last week.

  • Jack celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday at school and thought he was going to Dr. Suess' Birthday party that night.  "Is he going to be there mom, he asked" Not sure how he got that idea in his head, but to ease his disappointment we celebrated with a quick cake decorated by the kids.

 
 Here he his is being Luke's cat

  • Mer won 5th place in the Science Fair.  She tested Chemical vs. Organic Fertilizers on Cucumber plants.  She was so excited that she placed.
  • Luke got new Flip Flops and he's totally in love with them.

And finally, Doug is out of town for the week.  He left Saturday and gets home Thursday.  Which is a little bit good cause I'm getting to sew a lot and have the computer all to myself, but bad because I'm not very good at getting myself in bed at night which means I'm staying up way too late.  Head on over to my sewing blog and see what I've been making.  I just finished up a bag for myself last night.  Miss you Doug!! XOXO

Kitchen Update!

We have a few new things to show on our kitchen.  Not completely done, but making progress.  This weekend I got the tile grouted and painted the wall as well.  Have a look.


For the back splash, all that's left is to seal it and caulk along the bottom of the tile where it meets the granite...So close! 

We painted the Red wall Gray...



I think it looks good, but what I really like is the way the gray looks with all my colorful fabrics on the other side.

The other exciting project in the works is a built in bench in our nook area.  We installed the face of it today.  Here's what it looks like so far...

It will provide some good storage I think!

Over and Out!
