Tough Guy With A Side Of Silly

Filed Under: Family

 

Dustyn asked me to style his hair in a mohawk. It looked so cute. I asked him if we could go outside and take photos. I had been wanting some for the beginning of school {not necessarily just 1st day of school photos} I also wanted some since he turned 3 1/2. Eeekkk. Almost time for his extra special 4 year Birthday since he is a leap day baby. I still can not believe how fast the past 3 1/2 years has gone. He is still doing pretty good in school. This week he has been crying for a few seconds when Kenny drops him off. I feel so badly for him. Hopefully it is just a phase and that he will soon grow out of it. We will see how next week goes.

“Alright Mom! No more pictures. That was enough for the little candy bar you are giving me after this.” Yes I bribed him.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
