new thrifts.

we spent last week in st. georgie and soaked up all the sun. it was lovely to get away. swam and shopped and ate. stayed like kings in the presidential suite with grans and grandpa matt. uncle mattie looked handsome in his sprint shirt. and thrifted. at Jenny Larson's Urban Renewals on the blvd. in love with that store. I found a vintage bedcover that I am obsessed with. should I cut it into a table cloth? pillows? oh, the possibilies are endless. also found a darling snap grey handbag and a vintage roadmap of LA to frame. run don't walk.

so I took the boys to DI for the last time this summer yesterday. couldn't pass up this mid-century gem. I am going to have it professionally recovered so watch for the after. cannot wait.

new toy shelf.

this shelf was long overdue in the minis room. went to lowe's, bought prefab shelves in 2 sizes, and brown beadboard for backing. I had bought a mid-century shelf with little feet, removed those and simply screwed everything together. then screwed on the feet. I bought all the weaved bins at TJMAXX. loved how it turned out. everything has it's place. yay.

pop in.

so Ryder is leading the revolt on NOT sleeping in his bed. like ever. he only wants to nap on me or daddy and cries and cries when it's time for bed. being the bad guy isn't fun.
while ry-ry was crying tonight... I hear my Grae with his beautiful blonde curls, freshly washed by daddy, up the stairs singing "shower-shower-shower" and settles into my bed saying "look what I brought you mommy, chocolate" and a tear came to my eye. what a fun, long summer. and my two big boys going to school, Jax all day. well, wish I could turn back the clock just a little. not ready to let my boys go just yet.
so the chocolate was perfect and my life is well, perfect too. even with the little tears.
my sweet boys, I will never want you to grow up. and I love you daddy.
