here's a few tidbits of happiness from the last week of my life.
• the springy flower garland made out of post-it notes hanging in my entryway. my mom made all but two of them. i conveniently learned how to make them when we really didn't need many more made but i swear i didn't do it on purpose... i had a toddler to chase after & little time to fold flowers. ok, there was probably lots of instagram, facebook & blogging mixed in there too.
• p-ray & his love for trains. although at this exact second he looks less than satisfied by them. this little monster makes me laugh so hard. and sometimes grit my teeth & pull my hair. but mostly laugh.
• the new color scheme going on in our living room. it started with outing the dark red curtains & replacing them with yellow ones. then went the red throw pillows & in came blue. every new splash of color in the room gives me a whole new level of happy-face-ness.
• i have a serious love affair with our new computer. i daydream about it. we spend all kinds of time together late into the wee hours of the night snuggled up on the couch, editing photos & watching csi re-runs. it's becoming our thing. don't tell sam.
• and then there's this guy again. t minus twenty-one days til his second birthday. i can't wait!
what a fun week! so loving that garland!! cute pictures as always!! hope you have a wonderful weekend!

pretty living room! parker's hair is really coming in all of a sudden, it makes him look so much older now! Adorable :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new color scheme! Our living room has a lot of red in it and I'm not super happy about it. My husband wants to keep it, though. I am going for more light and airy colors... and have lots of plans. Just need him to jump on board with me! :-)
ReplyDeleteI want that garland! Parker is too freaking cute. I forgot that he and I have the same birthday! Nice work Parker.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you strung the flowers in random ways - it works great! The blue cushion is a nice fresh addition. I SO miss you all! Cannot see or hear another little one without wanting to hug Parker... oxox
ReplyDeleteLove that garland - how creative!! I've been reading your blog for awhile now & I really enjoy it! Just finally getting back into blogging myself after a hiatus, so I figure it's time for me to "mingle". ;) Since your little guy is a few months older than my son it's been fun for me to see what I have to look forward to and I've gotten some good ideas from you too! Like spelling out his name in the tub with the foam letters - one of our favorite things! :)
ReplyDeleteCute pics. And your new curtains... have totally inspired me to make some of my own in the next couple months for the house once we move!
ReplyDeleteI think P is contemplating just how cool his trains really are.
ReplyDeleteI am still loving those curtains! Love the teal pillow too!
Can I just say I love baby pics. P is adorable and when I look at these at work, it makes me miss E. I need to learn to not read your blog to late in the evening when I can go peak at him sleeping. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is SUCH A POSITIVE way to look at life! I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE the pictures of Parker with the trains. Such a great picture.
