Carsyn’s 1st Day of “Summer” School

Filed Under: Family, Parenting Tagged With: carsyn, dustyn, preschool, school

Alright so Carsyn had his first day of “Summer” School today. He will go once a week in July just to get used to the school. Then in September he will start for real. I can not believe he is going into Special Pre-K. Seems like he was just born!

He did amazing at school. His teacher wrote a sweet little note today. I knew my little boy would do awesome.

I did tear up a little when we dropped him off. Dustyn said he would miss Carsyn, then gave him a big hug.

Kicking back and relaxing. He was very sleepy when he got home.

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. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. 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. 🙌🏼
