THANK YOU WEMA! We love our Halloween PJ's! 
I love all of the funny faces these boys do. Makes me laugh every time. I sense that Hoyt is a little nervous about being wrestled around with... but he held his own.

Fall is HERE! 


 No pumpkin for Willie this year he didn't want to but here is mine, Vance's and Hoyts. No carving pumkins this year. Can you guess which one belongs to who?! 




While  Mom was here we had a little BBQ.  Chicken kabobs, backyard campfire, cool weather, S'mores..... We got some fun pumkin decor and mom made me a Halloween Garland! Luckily she showed up since I had NO plans to decorate for Halloween this year. Glad she did sooo cute!

It's starting to become a little bit of a tradition to work on projects when Mom comes to visit. 
I decided to up-cycle a few items around the house and put them to better use!
 So happy to just be renting right now but the commitment I want to make to things is not the that strong. 
Mom literally cleaned every window inside and out for me... obviously I didn't plan on doing it myself. 
We spent a whole weekend making Pinterest recipes, painting, cleaning and having a great time. 
As always I could not have done it with out her! 


Now to find a great basket for this empty space

 Nasty dusty lamp.... Now pretty!

before                                                                      after 



Im bummed I didn't do a before of this but it was all white and desperately needed to be painted. I swore I wouldn't fall victim to the chevron print but here I am and I looooooove it! Just enough and when I get sick of it  or move out of this rental I'll take it down... since I used contact paper! (shhhhhh don't tell!)  
 As soon as I finish the rest of the kitchen 
and have some items for the shelves I'll be sure to take some real pictures...
 this is just what I had in the house on sunday. It's starting to come together slowly but surely!
