Animal Sightings

I managed to get out of the house this morning thanks to a new friend and it was like I had been released from my cage to wonder free….wow, now I know what it's like to be caged up…seriously. With the stolen time for myself I decided it was only necessary to do things today for me, rather than the usual grocery store trip or another boring household errand. Today, I went to Target, H&M, and Sephora and enjoyed EVERY.SINGLE.MINUTE!!! I didn't have to rush in an out, I actually got to stop and look, touch, and try on things…and to have a real conversation with the sales clerk that didn't consist of me apologizing for my child was almost too good to be true!! FREEDOM (in the best Mel Gibson on a horse Braveheart style!!)

I also managed to finish my little wall gallery. I had one up previously but decided I wasn't crazy about the style, size, and frames that made it. So out with some old ones and new with some new. I had been eyeing these awesome metal animal heads for sometime and have always loved them but never picked on up…don't know why. Well, HomeGoods must of caught me in a good mood because this little fella came home with me to make a grand appearance at the top of the gallery wall. 

After I hung everything, (actually, everything is on command strips for easy removal except of the head), I realized that I had an animal thing going on throughout my house. Like this awesome "When Pigs Fly" figure I picked up months ago in the clearance section at HomeGoods for like $4…love him! And my elephant head hooks that go in our mudroom/laundry room. I don't know if it's trendy or not but these guys are here to stay, and Christian adores them too. He is always pointing them out to me with fascination…maybe a Veterinarian is in his future ;)

I also finally managed to hang up this old Coca Cola crate that the hubby snagged from his parents place…it's the original kind folks. For the first year and half we had this crate we just put on top of furniture for display but after deciding to reorganize the house it found a new home to house some of Christian's car collection. It's just held up by 4 large Command strips…pretty awesome if you ask me.

I also managed to grab a seedless watermelon while I was out, his favorite of course, and Chrispy has become quite the little helper. After I cut up a few pieces he immediately went in for the kill feeding. He is some kind of serious about his watermelon eating.

I also managed to whip up a Quiche Lorraine for us to nimble on throughout the Labor Day weekend. Our plans are to hit up the pool every single day until they close it. He is getting so much better at swimming so it makes it so much more fun to go now. What are your Labor Day plans?

We are just counting down the days till Nanna arrives and Dada is home!!! This coming week!!

Happy Labor Day Weekend Y'all!
