Mission: accomplished!

I think you'll be glad to know that I took photos yesterday AND today! (Well, I'm glad anyway...not as much mommy guilt!!!) Here's one of my favorites from yesterday. I think I'm going to print it big, even though he's not smiling. It's so him, and I love it!

Hibernating in August

School starts back and it takes me a while to get back into the routine. So I disappear. For almost a whole month! If any of you are keeping up with my little 365 day project, I just updated it (4 whole pictures...whooo! and all from July.) I would have posted some photos from August, but there's just one small problem: I have ZERO. How is that?! Don't get me wrong...I have picked up my camera this month, but only for the 4 or 5 sessions I've had. So this month of my childrens' lives is not documented. Granted we haven't been doing much, but I need to take some everyday shots here at home. So that is my goal when we get home from church tomorrow. Pictures. Of my children. Doing whatever they are doing.

There are still 2 days left in August.

And what's a post without a picture? Well, as you know I have none from this month (other than the ones I shared of my painting projects in the previous post) So my school website picture will have to do. At least you can see my "new" (has it been a month? Really, where did August go?!?!) haircut:

Completed

Okay, I finally finished my two big projects: the desk chair for the kitchen & the chest of drawers for Gabby's room. I actually finished the chest about 2 weeks ago. The chair got the finishing touches today.

Here's a look at both:

Excuse the messy desk..that's another project!! ;)



Gabby's chest of drawers (+ canvas that I need to hang)


It was fun (but a lot of work) but I think I'm done for a little while. I do have a headboard to paint for Gabby girl's room but that will be later!! Now on to the wall....ahhhh! We are very quickly approaching a year of being in our house (one month from now) and I think I have ONE thing on the wall. Must.change.that.SOON.
