Church Picnic

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Sunday we went to a Church picnic at the park, where I took these photos.

Quotography at {My} Perspective

Dustyn actually participated in the games. Kenny is giving him a pep talk here.

Him and another little boy were throwing balloons back and forth. They didn’t quite make it to each other.

They blew some bubbles.

Then they had to get M&Ms out of whipped cream using their mouths.

Carsyn enjoyed hanging out with Grandma & Grandaddy.

Dustyn drove his wheelie king around

the boys swung.

check out that drool and you can see the top tooth that just broke through a couple days ago.

and I talked Kenny into taking a photo of me and the boys

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. 🙌🏼
