It's really nice somedays that I can decide what we are going to do that morning instead of having set plans. We discovered a new park nearby and managed to even met up with a friend and her kids to have a picnic, which turned into more of a chasing after your kid marathon. Whatever happened to the days of going to the park and actually sitting and enjoying it? Now it's me running in every direction.
Something that has me really looking forward to the next month is my mother coming up to visit us. We are heading up to Indiana for a few days for a wedding. Since our office/guest room is no where near ready for a visitor it has gotten me in the mood to really start on some small projects I've been holding off. A few months ago at a thrift store I came across two antique twin bed frames that I absolutely fell in love with. They remind me so much of the Land of Nod Jenny Lind Toddler Bed but even better, they came at a $10 price tag for each!!! I bought them both and they have waited patiently in my garage until now. The only other problem I was having was finding bed rails with hook-on ends that were not going to cost me over a $100 for each…yuck! So after a few weeks of searching I managed to come across a set for one frame for only $8!!! Seriously…talk about perfect timing. I will worry about the second frame later but for now this baby will be going into our guest room. I still need to buy the twin mattress and bedding but it is going to be great. The only issue now is if I want to paint these frames to give them some life again. I'm thinking they would look great in a simple white finish like the picture below. Thoughts?
And since most of my rules lately have felt a little mean now that Chrispy doesn't have his Dada here, I'm allowing him to park his car in the house. I know..I'm a push over, but it makes me him feel better…and we are bringing a new way of having a "drive-in movie". As long as he is happy, I'm happy these days.
A huge event took place this week, Chrispy's first visit to the dentist!!! I was so proud :) He actually did really well for the doctor but unfortunately the assistant felt his wrath and I had to lay under him and hold his arms down while she cleaned…it was like holdings down an alligator. Seriously, a two year old boys strength is not to be messed with!
After the dentist we promptly went to Tim Horton's and picked out donuts to fest. He ate every.single.one.of.those.donuts!!! He didn't even offer me one!!! Payback for holding him down I'm sure ;)
I managed to get a little perky when a pair of sneakers I've been wanting for awhile came in. I had to hunt them down on EBay to get my size but the finally came in!!! I love a good animal print shoe :)
And lastly, Chrispy's fashion is a little weird these days. I've been trying to make it fun getting dressed for the day so I allow him to help me pick out his clothes in the morning. After he spent the whole day in this adorable sailor romper we had to run up to Home Depot to pick out some paint and these are the shoes he picked out….camouflage boots. Yep, he is a country boy I think but it might still be too early to tell.
I will admit that I was so strong all week and didn't cry once over the hubby being gone until he put these boots on and said, "likkke Dada" and smiled at me. My heart exploded into confetti and the tears ran down my face. All I could do is say, "Yeah buddy, like Dada"…..my baby missing his Dada is probably the most pain I could feel. And it officially sucks!!
Have a Happy Week Y'all! :)
