Friday Fun

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: vegetable garden

Since Kenny had to work this past Saturday for 16 hours straight he took off on Tuesday. It was a gorgeous day. We hung out side and enjoyed the weather. I am glad his job is so flexible. He will be taking off the next two Tuesdays for Carsyn’s MRI and then the results. Unfortunately we have to drive over an hour each way to get to his appointments, but it could be much worse. He is worth it though. Carsyn is the sweetest boy ever. I love him.

{See how crazy his hair was before the cut}

Then Dustyn and Daddy raced their RC trucks. Cutest thing ever!

and a close up of Kenny pushing the seeds into the soil.

    That is a gorgeous silhouette photo of the trees at the end of the sunset. I really like it. That first photo of your son Dustyn carrying the monster truck looks very much like my grandson, Drew--very blond and fair-skinned--curly blond hair, too. I hope Carsyn's MRI results are favorable. Great gardening shots, too!

    The monster cars look like so much fun!! My brother just LOVED remote control cars when we were growing up! They even have adult race divisions! Who would have thunk it? We live in the sticks (as I'm sure you've seen me complain about) so it's an hour drive to Target, Sam's Club, the Children's Museum, etc While I'm sure it sucks for those who aren't use to making such a drive, it's not nearly as bad as it sounds!!

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

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. 🙌🏼
