A day in a life

 So this is a week or so late but here is a Sunday in my life about two weeks ago.

Matthew per usual, gets up Super early on the weekends, like in the 6 o'clock hour and runs in our room, jumps in our bed and wiggles around for a little bit until I get restless and we get up.

Since I am trying to cut the Starbucks drive thru I decided to try Via mocha which isn't too bad

Matthew is already wired, drawing pictures and pouncing around. (please disregard unspeakables)

For breakfast we decide on milkshakes. Really they are protein shakes but Matthew doesn't need to know that. Something I wish I would have know is that 5 minutes later, the entire cup of peanut butter, milk and protein powder was spilled on my sofa.

Its only been a half hour.

 I decide its time to stop neglecting my toes

Then I played with some fabric for my master bedroom drapes

Caught Matthew in his undies reading some books- how cute is he

I decided to go wake up my mom about 9:30 Sunday morning

We made pancakes for grammy and great grammy and watched some tv

Off to the grocery store about 11 ish

We also went to Lowes and dropped of some items at the Goodwill but alas I did not photograph those mindblowing tasks. We got pancake mix while at the grocery store and Matthew requested a 'pampake" for lunch too, I oblige but he didn't take one bite, instead he napped!!!!

Which gave me a chance to play with the paint chips I picked up at Lowes for a mini art project which went nowhere fast

I turned around to see the clump of fabric that will one day be the piano seat bench cover

I did manage to snag some more seashells from my moms house and made this vase, that I sell through Blessings Direct, a little more me with the added rocks and shells

Matthew never fell asleep. Daddy tried to take him swimming but it started lightning so no swimming just yet.

Its about 6pm and I have a little time to finish my paper for grad school while Mike finally does get Matthew in the pool. I just finished this class, A! 4.0 baby!!

Matthew was gifted with (2)  13 gallon trash bags full of Legos! I am more excited than he is but I bet once Uncle Al comes to visit he will understand the glory that is Legos

9ish and I start to iron, mostly Mikes clothes, for the week

One last glance at my freshly painted toes and Im off to nighty night

This are Matthews eyes staring at Grammy's car pulling into the drive way after the trek of moving from Florida. He was so happy to see her pull in

Didn't even let her get out of the car before he ran up for his huggs!

I was a little late sharing these but since the move its been a little hectic... in a good way though.

Very happy to have my mom and grandma close by, safe and unpacked. Another big thank you to Aaron and Ryan and of course my husband for helping out so much and to everyone else who was there to pitch in.

Lots of Love

Reading with his TAG junior that pop pop got him, gearing up for his visit in a few weeks!

For our special day, Mike and I got take out from PF Changs YUM and Matthew got to stand under a horse

Before of Matthews room. We needed to take down the shelves because the were hanging on by a thread.

I have been seeing decor with maps lately and thought it would be a great idea for his room!

He likes it too!

Then Matthew turned the camera on us--- 14 years together!

Morning of THOMAS! He packed his backpack to the hilt with Thomas trains

There is a better photo with Thomas on my facebook page, they were rushing us off the stage.

He made off with an umbrella and a Thomas cup.... he had a great day and I am happy to help provide that smile!

Wish List Wednesday

After I lose these pesky 5-8-10 lbs or whatever the number changes to I am going to treat myself to a pair of one of these boots. I love them. And since I live in a city where it actually gets cold I won’t look wildly out of place either. I LOVE them all for different reasons. #1 because the color and they are classic in my opinion. #2 because they look comfy but might be slashed off the list due to the material and I don’t want them to look trashed after being in the slush and rain. #3 are Fryes, what’s not to love but the price tag. #4 are more me, they have a heel which will help with my lack of vertical prowess and they have a little sass factor. What do you like?

Also a random, has anyone read The Help?

Happy Hump Day everyone!

Matthew got to meet Sponge Bob!

And he wasn't terrified like when he attempted to meet Elmo! Smiles all around

Then this morning, he was plum tuckered out and this was his position when I went in to wake him up. So sweet

Matthew was being so sweet this afternoon, loud but sweet. I had to make this one black and white so that I could hide, a smidgen, of how dark my under eyes are. SERIOUSLY what is up. I really truly need a great nights rest. Calgon take me away!

Regardless of how tired I am this smile always will brighten my day.

Matthew got a rockin hair cut! If I had thought about it Mike would have taken the camera to the salon but alas I didn't have that forethought AND I was at the gym for two hours trying to work on my fitness, I had no witness.

I got my hairs did too! I cut about 4 inches off and dyed it a deep auburn. I am so far in love with it but haven't had to do it myself yet. She did a small asymmetrical cut, not severe but just enough.

We went to Dunkin Donuts this morning, after fooling around with his donut, it ended up icing down on the floor and tears were had.

Matthew got a hold of my point and shoot camera

This is his point of view

And just a random shot of ALL of his Cowboy Woody dolls, I mean action figures. I don't think he needs anymore.  He has the same amount of Buzz Lightyears. I am not saying he is spoiled but...

And this caught my eye and I had to have it because I have been feeling the need for something all American. It is supposed to be a tray but I think I might add out last name on it and hang it by the front door. Not sure yet, just know that I like it a lot. 

I also am dying for some Chevron stripe. LOVE the lettered cottage too.... go check them out!

I bought a grey chevron lumbar pillow cover on Etsy and plan to add a little floral design to copy this. I plan to add it to my guest room since I can't work it in anywhere else.

SO that was my weekend. Hate that it is over but I am stoked that in one week from today my Mom and Grammy will be here, officially South Carolinians!

Have a great week!!!!
