Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: carsyn, dustyn, scavenger hunt sunday, swimming

Yesterday was a very busy day. Kenny had to go and help a guy out. The boys and I heading to my parents house and hung out. Then we met Kenny at our friends house for their son, Quinn’s, 2nd Birthday. It was a blast as always. She throws the greatest parties. I am sure I will be sharing more of those this week.

Long Exposure

On our way home after a long day away from home. Not the greatest long exposure shot but anywho. If you can see it gas around here is around $3.57, Kenny did get it for $3.45 today. I thought this shot was neat with the American flag and the way the lines curve since we were going around a curve.

Shapes

Aww. I love my baby boy in his shades. They are shapes right? Kind of ovaly. He hung out with daddy during the party. Everyone thought he was the coolest kid there. ha ha.

Green

Green leaves. I had such a great time capturing the bees at my parents house yesterday. Happy to say I did not get stung, but I did get up close and personal with them.

Fruit

There was fruit in this delicious lemonade. It was so yummy!

Childhood Memory

I remember many days of my child hood spent in a kiddie pool dumping water on each other. Dustyn had a blast.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

One little peek at our day with Zander. I will be sharing more soon and he is going to be on his way to Amber on Monday.

Carsyn loves him. He did not want to let go of him. I really, really need to buy the boys their own “real” sock monkeys. They both loved Henry & Zander. By the way you can see Carsyn’s 3rd bottom tooth in this photo. His top teeth are so close to breaking through. His gums are all swollen and you can see the white dots.

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. 🙌🏼
