Pottery Barn via Walmart

 

 

Stacey came to visit and worked her magic! Using only decor from Walmart, she transformed my room. No need to buy new furniture -- the dresser was sitting in the garage and was blue. The night stand was the tower in the corner of the room; Austin chopped it in half. 10 cans of black spray paint and few accessories from storage finished it off. I've already booked her a ticket to come to our new house and decorate every room.

The Tentacles of an Octopus

On the way home from WALMART Andy declared, "Mom, I have hanging tentacles again."

I didn't know what to say, because he could have meant a great many things. "Ya?!" was all I added.

He followed up with, "You know, by my nail."

"Oh," I finished, "I will clip your cuticle to remove your hang nail when we get home."

 

Andy's 7th Birthday

Andy is now 7! He wanted a Yoshi cake and a big BAKUGAN. Both his wishes came true. We went swimming all afternoon, and played Mario Kart as a family all evening. Our boy was in heaven. We love Andy because he is patient, caring and wiry.

 

 

 

 

Garden Veggies

Dinner came from the garden: potatoes, tomatoes, rosemary, basil, parsley, dill, cucumbers, beets and carrots. Yum.

 

 

Happy 4th of July
