Scavenger Hunt Sunday {09.02.12}

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone! Hope you are having a good weekend. This is the last weekend before Dustyn starts school on Tuesday! Eeekkk! I am so nervous. He will be going to the public school preschool. After the first couple of weeks he will be riding the bus on the way home. I am happy that he will be going but also a little scared. Pray for my nerves please. I did want to let you all know that I have started noticing a few differences in Carsyn’s hamstrings. They say about day 10 we will see the best change. We will just have to keep stretching to keep it relaxed. Thanks for all your well wishes last week.

Candid

I love this Candid moment I caught of Carsyn and his Poppy a few weeks ago. So sweet.

Toys

One of Carsyn’s favorite toys. He is obsessed with anything cow. He can see any cow a mile away and he starts mooing. It is so adorable!

Any of the Five Senses

Dustyn using his sight sense trying to look through the binoculars to check out the giraffes.

Batteries

 Dustyn’s well used and well loved flashlight running off of batteries.

Half

Half Coffee/Half Creamer that is the way I like my Iced Coffee.

That is all I have for you today. Hope you have a fun filled Labor Day weekend!

Linking up with Scavenger Hunt Sunday, Little Bits of Happiness, A Rural Journal, Simple Things, Sunday Snapshot, Macro Monday, and then she snapped

    Your "toy" shot brought back a memory of my oldest son (now 15). When he was a toddler, he LOVED cows, too--most animals, actually, but cows in particular since he had one of those Little Tykes (maybe?) rocking cows. He liked to pretend the rocking cow was chasing him for some reason--he'd set it up in the hallway and then "startle" himself with it and scream "Cow coming!" One day when we were visiting my grandmother, he shouted, "Cow coming!" as he came tearing across her backyard. It tickled me because my grandmother TURNED TO LOOK. [She lived *inside* the perimeter of Atlanta!] I guess his shout was urgent enough for her to be convinced. ;) So glad you are already seeing some signs of improvement with Carsyn's hamstrings! Praise God! http://cheekycocoabean.blogspot.com/2012/09/scavenger-hunt-sunday.html

    Gorgeous set of shots this week! Don't worry--school will be great for you and Dustyn. After a week or so of riding the bus, you will both be old pros. :) He'll probably have a great time, and you'll enjoy the one on one time with Carsyn. I've learned to enjoy those sweet elementary school years with my youngest, because my oldest is in high school now (and one is in middle school), and that is really when the nerves set in! Haha! I'll be thinking of you though. The first day of school always tugs at a moms heartstrings.

    What a lovely set. I really like the "battery" shot - such a cool perspective. Stay strong mama - your little boy is going to be just fine. How exciting for him to be starting school and I have a feeling you will just as excited when you see how much he enjoys it!

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. 🙌🏼
