Weekend run-down

Friday:

Eating out and shopping was done. 

I scored this pair of black jeggings at Old Navy. Jeans with an elastic waistband. Really, why dont all jeans have elastic at the top? Probably because we would all balloon up to 500 lbs.

 

Saturday:

Football watching day. 

Everyone started out happy.

High Fives were awesome.

......until everything went wrong.....

:( We lost.

I still had fun in my corner of the room catching up with Devin and Jenny!

Sunday:

We did small group, ate yummy gumbo, and went home sooo tired at 7:30. Is this time change killing anyone else? 

I am glad that I am waking up and going to bed earlier. Ive been trying to change my routine, so thanks DST for doing it for me!

I am ready for this new week. I am determined to go through and clean out all of the kids toys to get ready for Christmas. I am a firm believer that kids dont need 10,000 toys to play with. Only a few......although you wouldnt believe me if you saw their room, or my entire house for that matter....

What are you doing this week? Anything to prepare for Christmas or Thanksgiving? 

Target Treat

Every time Ryder and I go to Target just the two of us we get some Starbucks. Its usually pretty rare that it is just me and him, so the treat is always long overdue. Dont worry, we always get the chiparoo drink, no coffee. 

I'm always amazed at how different he is when Lucy isn't around. He seems so grown up and I really love taking him places. There was a time when he would grate on my last nerve, he is a huge drama king sometimes. 

We are going to the beach next week and he keeps asking me if we are going tomorrow. Everyday he asks is it tomorrow. Sometimes he says, "I'll eat my dinner, and then we will go to the beach?" I wish bud. But no, we have to wait until next Friday to pull out for our much needed vacation.

Leading up to our trip I am trying to purge my house. For two reasons, 1) it is the size of a match box, so there is no room for over-indulgence in toys and other crap. 2) We are trying to get our house ready to sell.

I just want to come back from the beach with a completely clean, uncluttered home. I found this online last night on Oh Dee Doh, and I think it looks like an awesome system. It's called "The 7 Day Toy Cure".

If you have never went to Oh Dee Doh you should. I love that site. Such awesome kids design ideas.

Oh, one last thought. I fixed our dishwasher last night! While I was at Target I bought this:

Dishwasher Cleaner! It worked! Who knew you had to clean your dishwasher every now and then?! I know, I should know this. But we did pay someone to come out and fix it and he didnt do a very good job. He also didnt tell me about this secret weapon. Oh well. Im just happy that "Taco Night" is not still on my dishes this morning :)

Vintage Tuesday

Vintage things are awesome. That's all you need to know. The fabrics are so pretty, the graphics are amazing, and the toys, well they are the best things ever. And since I love hunting for vintage prizes I thought I would share my finds with you :)

This little duck parade is awesome. There is one at the antique mall in town, and every time I go in there I have to play with them. This etsy shop has them for a great price. It would be so cute in a little boy's nursery dont you think?

These are the best things ever. A set of 5 tin toy bowls. Ryder and I could play kitchen. I would love to pretend to eat something out of these. OR maybe I really would eat out of them. Go here to snatch them up!

Oh buddy. This little dress is the cutest. If only my Lucy was a size 3-6 months still. She might could rock it as a shirt though. This shop has some great stuff. 

Check out these little swim shorts from the same shop. Its rare that I find vintage boy stuff I like on etsy. For some reason a lot of it is rompers with train and bear appliques. Ugh. No jon jons or rompers on boys in this family. But these little shorts are awesome. Love that pocket.

That's all the stuff I have to show you today. Hey, if you know of any great vintage shops I should check out, tell me!

Have a great day, I think my fam is headed to the zoo :)
