Haircuts & Shades of Autumn

Filed Under: Family, Photography

On Wednesday the boys got hair cuts. Dustyn got a huge hair cut. Kept his mohawk but it is pretty small. Next time I am going to tell her not to cut it so short. It looks cute but I liked it a little longer.

Carsyn just got the really long hairs around his ears and the back of his neck trimmed. This was his first hair cut. So very sweet and adorable! He looks a little more grown up.

 Here is my “white” photos for Shades of Autumn.

   Photobucket Life.Captured.   Look whooooo’s snapping  Give me your best shot at Better in Bulk  PhotoStory Friday

Oh and on a side note, this is another reason I have not been blog hopping as much. I think it may be carpal tunnel. My friend let me borrow this brace. I hope it helps and that my wrist starts feeling better. I can hardly grip anything and it hurts when I pick up the boys. Thank you all loyal visitors. I hope to be back to blog visiting soon!

    Dustyn looks extra adorable with his new haircut! Sorry to hear you've got bad pain in your arm and wrist - not good at all, especially with it affecting you lifting your little ones. Simply beautiful last shot with the white bokeh.

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. 🙌🏼
