Molly's Room

Molly's room is finally finished.  She moved to a big girl bed over a year ago and it's just taken time to get her room completed. First, we found a pretty quilt that had both pink and purple in it.  It took awhile because I didn't want really bright colors.  The one we found is just adorable!  After that, we had her room painted purple.  Molly just loved it!  Everyday, she'd say-look at my beautiful purple room; isn't it so pretty!  Scott and I made her a headboard and her bed was all set. 

 

On the left side, I found that cute table from Hobby Lobby.  It's really a plant stand, but I love the way it looks in there.  The polk-a-dot lamp is from Target. On the right side, that big bin if filled with all her puppies.  The pink on it is actually scalloped like the table.  Just last week, I finally found a big M at Hobby Lobby.  Molly helped me paint it and then we added those flowers around it.

Across from Molly's bed is her new white dresser.  Tyler helped me a lot in putting that dresser together.  I splurged on her mirror.  It's so girly and I love it.

On the other wall, there is a shelf with toys and books that she's had for awhile.  Above it, there are 3 puppy pictures that she picked out from Etsy.

 

I really like the way her room turned out.  Most importantly, Molly loves it!

Round Top, TX

Last Thursday, I met my best friend, Dana and her sister in Round Top for an antiques festival.  It was about 8 miles filled with vendors.  It was fun and hot! 

 

This isn't the best picture, but you can see the rows just go on and on.  Let me just say it's amazing what some people will charge for an item because it's "vintage"

This was Miranda Lambert's tent for her store.  We actually saw her too!

It was super hot, so Dana loved her champagne on a stick!

These campers were decorated so cutely.  The first was $5000 and the second was $7000. 

This was a fun little photo booth.  That paper with the boot on it is advertising the Junk Gypsy's Junk O Rama Prom that we went to that eveing.

Dana watches and loves the Junk Gypsy.  They have a booth here and on Thursday night, they host a prom.  Everyone comes in vintage clothes or some crazy outfit and dances the night away.  Unfortunately, it rained, so the main part was cancelled, but they still had one band there.  For Prom, I had originally bought a lace overlay dress from ebay.  But while we were shopping, I saw this adorable little black dress.  I tried it on and it fit perfectly, but I wasn't sure I needed it.  Scott and I don't dress up much to go out.  But Dana loved it and gave me enough peer pressure and I bought it.  After I bought it, she saw it was a Betsey Johnson dress  and could not believe it.  I, of course, didn't know who that was.  She informed me she is the creator of Sex in the City and this dress would have been $200+ or more off rack and I got it for $25. 

 

 

 

We had a great time dancing and hanging out!  I think we're gonna have to make it an annual outing for us. I have to say a big Thanks to my fabulous husband, who took Thursday and Friday off work to watch the kids.

What we've been up to

Our weeks here stay pretty busy.  On Monday, Molly started gymnastics again.  She had taken a break for the summer.  On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I watch my friends little boy, Evan.  He super easy, him and Molly play great together, and he still takes naps.  We do calender time and work on some preschool work too.  The other week, we worked on the letter B.  On Tuesdays, I also go to bible study, so Molly and Evan come with and go to their class, God & Me.  They really enjoy it.

Wednesdays, Molly goes to a preschool time for 2 hrs, with some neighbor kids.  There are just 5 of them and so far she loves it.  Each mom takes a different month teaching.  The last week, we go on a field trip.  This month was farm animals, so this past Wednesday, we went to Fiesta Farms, which is one of Molly's favorite places.  The kids all get along so well. We're really happy with it.

This is four of the five kiddos.  Bryce, Briley, Peyton, and Molly

Thursdays, I watch Evan again. That evening, we go to Awana.  Molly is a Cubbie, Tyler is in Sparks, and I volunteer in Sparks.  They both love it!  I wasn't sure if Tyler would like it having to work on it during the week, but he and Molly are both doing great with it. They always have their verses ready to say.

Friday we have nothing planned.  Well, actually one Friday a month, Molly goes to her Growing Up Wild class.  It's a free 1 hr class the park district offers.  I've posted about it before.  She really likes it.

That is our life every week.  Busy, but fun!

Daddy, Daughter Date

Molly and Scott went on a little Daddy, Daughter Date a few weeks ago.  They went out for ice cream.  Molly was so cute-right after dinner, she told me that she needed to get ready.  She picked out a dress, brushed her hair, and had to have her doggie purse with a little puppy inside, a writing tablet and pen, and she needed her watch.

Last weekend

Last weekend, Scott's parents came for a visit.  We had a nice time.  They came with gifts for the kids, which they loved.  Mary and Tyler always work on coin collecting books together.  He doesn't do it when Mary is not here, but when she comes, she always brings new pennies and they spend a lot of time working on it.  Mary also plays Lego's with Tyler too.

Saturday we drove up to Canyon Lake.  Harry and Mary have land up there.  We went to see their land and see what other houses have been built in their development.  They have a pond in their neighborhood, so we went fishing.  We managed to catch 3 fish before it started to rain on us.

Saturday night we just ordered pizza and watched the WVU game.  They lost though. Sunday, they went back to Houston.

This Weekend

Scott and Tyler went to Austin for Scott's fantasy football draft.  While there, they were able to go out fishing twice.  Tyler had a blast and stayed out through dinner and the heat.  Here is just one of the many they caught.

Molly and I had a fun girls weekend.  We watched movies both night, went to the pool, did a few errands, made cookies, and did plenty of games and puzzles.  We did make sure we were home Saturday afternoon for the West Virginia football game.  They lost but only by 10; Alabama was a 25 point favorite, so they stayed in the game better than expected.  The quarterback looked great, so hopefully we have a decent season.  Here was WVU's cutest cheerleader.

2nd Grade

Tyler started school today as a 2nd grader.  He knows about 4 boys in his class and a few girls. He is not with Colby or Kyle, but they do have recess together. His teacher is Ms. Parisher.  She was a 1st grade teacher last year and next to his class, so he knows who she is.  We're looking forward to a good year.
