Grey Matter

It's true. I read it. And I would be telling a big lie if I told you I didn't like it. I read all 3 in a week. Does that say something about me? Ha!! It was a very good series and I would read it again tomorrow. Don't judge me, K?:) 

 I have been busy reading redesigning my office/laundry room!! I am so excited to get this room modernized. I need a woman cave in my house, you know since I live with a bunch of males:)
For starters I have been looking for a corner desk to go in there but I didn't want to pay much. I looked on craigslist and VOILA!! The perfect desk was just waiting for me!! I will have to paint it, and I think I am going to paint it white but not totally sure  yet.
This is kind of what it looks like. My parents picked it up for me so I don't have pics of the actual desk:)

I am going to paint the walls a dark purple!! Again, a little girly, but I need some feminine stuff going on up in this household!!

I am thinking about this leopard rug! What do you think?

 I can't wait for it all to come together! I think I will accent with lime green and yellow too:)
Hope everyone has a great day!!
Laters Baby:)

Grady's Big Day

Grady started preschool today and he did so good!! Yay!! I thought that he might have a horrendous meltdown but he didn't. A few tears were shed but overall he was such a big boy. 

 Briggs asked about 20 times where Grady was. I guess they do love each other:)

 I can NOT believe my baby boy is in school:( (Yes, I realize he is not my actual baby child, but I call ALL of them my baby and I probably will their whole lives:))

 My big boy at the school.

Briggs has his big day tomorrow and he is ready. They just grow too fast.

One Last Hurrah

It's Labor Day which means summer has come to an end:( We decided to go to the River one last time to end our summer. The boys had so much fun. I just love getting to let them run and play and enjoy themselves. Makes my heart happy:)

I just love this pic of Crue. I love the gap between his teeth!

 Briggs running. Baywatch style.

 Creepin'

 I enjoy myself too:)

The end of Summer is here but so it the beginning of Fall! I can't wait to bust out my fall decorations! I love this time of year:)

P.S. Grady's first day of preschool is tomorrow. Pray for me, him, his teachers, and his classmates. This MIGHT be a disaster:)

Class of '02

I had my big 10 year reunion this weekend:) I'm not going to lie I was a tad bit nervous. Why? I have no idea, but I was. It was at Lake Tanglewood Clubhouse and it was SUCH a good time!! I loved seeing all of my old classmates and friends. I only wished we could have had like a speed dating sort of deal only you wouldn't date you would just sit down with everyone and talk for just a few minutes:)

 I saw a lot of friends that I hadn't seen in a while and it was good to hear from all of them.

 There was such a good turnout, I think 97 or so. Here is our group pic.

I can't wait until our next one:)

The boys were having too much fun in the bathtub tonight so I had to take some pics! Ha! Crazy dudes.

 Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub:)

School starts for the older 2 on Tuesday:) I'm ready!

Flag Football and Furniture

I have found a new hobby!!I have been redoing furniture and I am having sooo much fun!! This is a bookshelf that I custom painted for a little girls room. She wanted zebra:) It turned out so cute. 

This is a piece that I redid argyle on top and distressed it. It is way cute too:)

Now on to the big news. FOOTBALL!!! Briggs has started playing flag football and he had his first scrimmage yesterday. He did really good. They ALL did! It was so cute to watch.

 They had the scrimmage right next to a HUGE playground. Who does that? Obviously that wasn't thought out very well, because all of the boys wanted to go on the playground instead of play football.

 Down, Set, Hut!!!

 Crue enjoying the game.

 Coach Cody:)

I can't believe he is old enough to play football. Gees, where does the time go?

Doctors and Dentists

I am trying to get everything I can done before school starts next week and that means cramming 2 doctor appointments in one day!! Briggs' last orthopedic appointment was Monday morning and everything went great!! No more brace and no more appointments!! Yay!! After that we headed to the dentist!!!

 Briggs did AWESOME!!! He has perfect teeth, no cavities:)

 This was Grady first time to actually sit in the chair and he did REALLY good. No cavities for him either!!

 After the dentist we went to Burger King. The boys sure did enjoy that:)

We took a quick trip to the mall and got the boys some "Wimpy Kid" shoes aka Converse, and then drove home.
It's been a crazy, busy summer and I only think it's going to get crazier!!!

Slavedriver

I forgot to mention that on Sunday the boys got to meet their teachers. Briggs has Miss Jamie and Grady has Miss Paula (who Briggs had last year). These women are PRECIOUS with a capital P!!!! I am so excited for the boys to start!!

 It was rainy this morning so the boys were a little bored so while I was doing my housework I asked if they wanted to help and they said yes!!!! Briggs helped dusting.

Grady helped vacuuming. He even rolled the rug up!!

I did NOT make them do this they wanted to. I am by no means running a sweatshop around here:)
If only they will be this helpful when they are 13. *Sigh. Only time will tell:)
