Well, our week with Travis and Jayna was, as expected, restful, productive, and refreshing! And by the end of the week, we both missed the kids and were so excited to go pick them up...which means that the week served it's purpose! The kids had a great time, though I was happy that by the end of the week they were glad to see us and ready to go home. Thank you to Gary and Paula for giving the kids such a great time!
Steve worked a few nights that week, but otherwise, he took things pretty easy (deservedly so). I actually accomplished quite a bit...besides the projects shown below, I also got quite a bit of cleaning and organizing done. I got a few good jogs in, read more than usual, took a nap or two, and went shopping for fall kids' clothes. It was that left me feeling..."on top of things", I guess would be a good way to describe it.
My biggest project was to finish up one that I had begun the week prior, and that was to finish painting the office/piano room and reorganize it. I created a specific place for everything (inboxes for each of us, place for bills, etc.) so that hopefully we can keep it looking this way! I love the color...almost exactly the color of masking tape.
Jayna's room has this one huge wall that has always been basically empty. I was so excited when I stumbled across these wall stickers a couple of weeks ago at Target...the whole set for just $15! It's kind of hard to tell in the picture, but it turned out super-cute.
And in the boys' room...I've had these "wall art" cards since February that are seriously adorable and go perfectly with their camping theme. This week I finally got to put them up! Travis is really into the alphabet and sounding things out (and animals), so he thought these were pretty cool.
Evan was in heaven...he got tons of one-on-one attention this week! Such a sweet baby he is.
Oh yes...and we got a cat!!! We'd been talking about it before this and even went to the humane society with the kids a couple weeks ago, so last week we stopped in and I immediately fell in love with this little kitten. She's 2 months old, a calico, super-playful, loves to cuddle (she sleeps on my pillow), and I'm happy to say that I think she loves me the best. :) Travis kind of helped pick out the name...Ruby! (One of his favorite shows currently is Ruby & Max on Nickelodeon).
