“Death from the ankles down”

that is what the sign says as you approach the front door of Alice’s house. After spending a few hours there photographing her Boston’s I understand the warning. Boston puppies are so much fun but they are constantly attacking your feet and biting your toes! Here are some of my favs of her 7 week olds.

 

    

Wall Decor

Well the new beds should be in tomorrow. All other major furniture is in place. That includes some built in bookshelves and a large display shelf that I custom built to maximize space. (pictures of that later) For today I just wanted to share 1 picture that will be hung as a canvas gallery wrap (this should also be here tomorrow) for the girls new room. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Siren Pink

It's project time around here again. Mission: to combine Kira and Kali into 1 bedroom that they both like and fit into. Tasks include selling 2 beds, buying a new full over full bunk bed, getting rid of tons of stuff, buying new comforters, painting "new" room siren pink, rehanging all decor, etc. etc. It really seems like this project could go on forever. We are making progress though. Major hiccup was that the new beds are 2 weeks out... they could have told me that when I was at the warehouse. Oh well. So here are a few pics of the progress so far.

Waiting for the new beds.
I was really questioning the sanity of letting Kali choose this color
while I was painting, but it has grown on me.

Had to show a peek into the bathroom that Kali madeover in June.

Kira's old room and bed that sold 2 hours after listing it.

Kali's old room and twin bunk beds that are still for sale.

What are little girls made of

I just had to share this picture. Mostly because it gives me the creeps. I am not so into letting slimy things crawl on me!

Marissa, Wren, Kira and Mariah
Cousins... sure had a nice visit with the Washington
Darlings. Just wish we had more time.

Beginning again

So the first day of school was yesterday. My house was so quiet. It will take me a few days to get used to it. Today I am trying to catch up all the things I have let slide over the summer. That might take me till Christmas... just kidding.

Kyle my mighty 8th grader

Yep thats Kali driving herself to 11th grade

And Kira so excited to add a new color shirt to her uniform options.

6th grade and up can wear black.

What happens in Vegas...

stays in Vegas. Unless you are me... so OK I'll share the highlights. My good friend Aliesha bought a very cool new car, so cool in fact that it warranted a road trip. (if I were a car person I could tell you exactly what kind it is, but I am not. You will just have to trust me that it's the kind of JEEP that gets lots of attention from total strangers.) I thought we had decided on September, but she decided on August. So off we went. We stayed at The Luxor. We saw Le Reve, ate way too much food, stayed up way too late, shopped, talked, took silly Vegas pictures, ate more food, slept in in the mornings, melted in the 108 degree heat, ate more food, went to the pool, and shopped some more. Where are we headed next time girls?

We had lunch at Margaritaville

Driving with the top down

Me, Aliesha and Jodie

Wakeboarding!

We had a Young Womens overnighter this week and look what Kali learned how to do...

Almost got it...

Way to go Kali!!

Now off on my next adventure...

PS: I took this with my green baby camera, not bad eh?
