Jump around

Our little buddy next door had his birthday party at Pump It Up. An indoor inflatable jumping thingy. So much fun and a great idea. Wear the kids right out!

Treats

Treats for my 3 kids. We rarely go to the mall anymore. Not sure why, just don't so when we went we stopped for an ice cream treat. Took this with my cell phone. Story of my life and I'm sure you're sick of hearing me talk about how I keep losing my camera. I did it again. Do you know where I put it?

let there be light

Oy! So, We're back from house sitting. We were gone for a month and I was taking care of an elderly man while the people were on vacation. For a fee we were to move into the house, take care of the father and have a "mini vacation." It was not a mini vacation. It was hell. He was WAY harder than they let on and for your dinner's sake I won't go into details of what we had to do to care for him. Double Oy. He was a full-time job in it's self and then I had to care for my kids and a 2 mo. old that I also care for. Would I do it again? For more money, yes.

I'm back to the comfort of my home. Being gone has made me love my small house even more and love being in it. I did realize that there's just not enough light in my house. The way the windows are positioned I just don't get that bright light in. So, I have to do it my self.

I got this lamp at DI for $1.80. I painted it with some left over paint I had in the garage and found this lampshade at Cost plus. It was $14, but I had a 25% off coupon that I used for it so it was around $10.

I love the turquoise a lot and love the soft light it gives at night and that it brightens up the high vaulted ceiling that the lamps down below just can't reach.

Did I mention it feels good to be back?
