Friday Fun

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: carsyn, cerebral palsy

Guys I am so excited! We are leaving for Philly to go see Monster Jam tomorrow!!! I can not wait to see Dustyn and Carsyn’s reaction. I am also excited to see such a big show. It is going to be so much fun. I am also going to meet my friend Deidrea of Hot Mama Gowns. YAY! I just hope Carsyn does good on the 6hr drive since he doesn’t like riding in his seat for long.

Dustyn liked letting the lady bug crawl on him. It was so cute. The lady bug stayed on him for awhile.

 

We don’t have many blooming flowers right now, but we have plenty of these!

Carsyn wearing his new thumb splint picking up Cheerios.

 

and just cause I liked this photo.

    have a great time!! we went to a monster jam years ago and it was soo much fun - and we're not even into cars and monster trucks! It's soo funny reading this, i was driving by an advanced auto parts store yesterday and noticed their sponsored truck outside on display - I had no idea the timing of it - now I know why :)
    • NapTime MomTog says

      June 6, 2011 at 11:30 am

    All of your photos are wonderful. I especially love the dandelion. Those are quickly becoming my favorite, as my toddler has recently started to pull them and bring to me. You've got to love something that allows the sweet exchange between Momma and son, as he proudly hands me my flower. :)
    • NapTime MomTog says

      June 6, 2011 at 11:28 am

      Isn't that so sweet. Dustyn does that too. Thanks for stopping by.

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. 😆

Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
