We're working on painting our kitchen door with chalkboard-paint..
I like it so far..
E does too..
but I think we're gonna' have to paint the bottom half too, so that he can reach..
I dunno, but we've got a million + one, little projects on our list!..
yay for buying a house :)

Sunday.

We had a sugar-sweet little afternoon in our backyard..
Elliott played with water..
and Daddy got him with the water gun..
"stick em' up!"..
"Yeah, that's what I thought!"..
Then little E watered the plants..
and ventured into a bush..
trapped.
The back-yard is so pretty..
just found these today!..
love.
dance.
sing.
play.
grow.
hope.
learn.
laugh.

snail mail..

I love getting packages from Ashley! They come from across the ocean, and make me oh so happy :)
This time, we received a book. The pictures are so lovely...
Thanks Ash! I can't wait to see you, and celebrate my birthday with you :)

Parks and Recreation :: E & E..

We had so much fun at the park today with Sam and Elijah!..







The boys are getting soooo BIG!!! NOOOOOO.
Elliott also learned about fire-safety today! You need a smoke detector.. BEEEEEEEP!

Check out LAURA and her awesome work-shops!

I ♥ my life.
...but I'm still learning how to live and enjoy it...

Summer is HOT(TTTTTTT) in Tennessee...

but Elliott knows how to keep it cool.

Why?

am I obsessed with having Mary-Jane red hair???..

I don't know...

but I am!

Welcome to our house!..

Please keep in mind several things:
1. We still need to paint!.. AND add lots of shelving to our office, plus a new work-bench/desk. Our goal is to make it a messy, yet organized, creative work-space!.. (you'll see)...
2. We need a BIG floor rug, some plants, more wall art, bookshelves, and to distress the TV cabinet in the living room...
3. Elliott's room still needs shelves and storage bins, and I'd like to get him a new floor rug also...
4. AND, pretty soon, he'll need a big boy bed!!! AHHH!!!..
5. E's bathroom needs to be painted, and he really could use a cuter shower-curtain...
6. He also needs to learn to use the toilet!..
7. Our dining-room is still missing a table. Our sweet friends Dave & Steph are giving us their old one, but we just haven't made it over there yet to pick it up!..
8. But don't worry, Elliott is keeping the chairs company for now...
9. I need hooks in the kitchen for aprons, and brooms and such. Also, I'd like to cover the chairs that go to the kitchen table with some cute vintage fabric...
10. Curtains are a MUST for the kitchen windows. Otherwise, we're going to go blind around 6:30 every night!..
11. Chalkboard paint will make an appearance too!..
12. Our bathroom also needs a curtain, new shower curtain, and storage shelves!..
13. The back-yard needs a fence!.. and a play-gym & swing for E-rock!..
We also need a few other random things. But let's face it... we always need a few other random things!

I hope the house will be groovy enough to start having a few low-key parties this fall, to celebrate the new-ness!

Love:

and Mexican food...
Thanks to sweet Karyn, who watched the Elli-man, Seth and I had a night out. The Rosepepper + a little bit of Goodwill shopping = just what I needed! Briiiiiing on the weekend!!!

OMG!!!

Elliott just said "poo-poo potty" and then he went poo poo in the potty!!! I'm sorry if you don't care, but we really do!!!!!!!

yay!!!!!!!

Apparently...

"You may have one bowl of cereal" = helping himself to the rest of the box! (And then, ever-so casually returning the box to it's place, and sitting down to enjoy his feast)...
I'm sorry... but BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

His Daddy once did the same thing with Cheerios. I did not. I am obviously the perfect one :)

I give Pixar a...

Thumbs UP!

If you don't plan to see this movie, then you should change your plans.
If you have seen this movie, what did you think?..
If you haven't seen it, but plan to, I won't spoil it for you, but...

I just have to say that this one warms up the heart to the "melt-y" setting.

It makes me want to take life's hum-drum moments and soak them up. Then, when I too am floating effortlessly through the sky via balloons, those memories will keep me company.

Welp...

I'm seriously considering taking a photography class this fall, just for fun! I'm a little bit obsessed with images, color, and the surprising perspectives from which some photos are taken. Sometimes, I'm pretty sure that I'm doing this whole "life" thing backwards. Ah well, I guess as long as I'm living it...

Sometimes you want to go...

We had so much fun in Boston. Have coffee with me sometime, and I'll tell you all about it!..
