Mission: Organization

Here is our New & Improved office... just about 95% complete.

I'm just too excited to share the pics so rather then wait til it's 100% complete (there are still 2 more items to be built - a small file drawer cabinet and another piece I'm going to use to store my sewing machine - both of which will fit nicely underneath my work surface) here are some pics to preview.

Go ahead, soak it all in... it takes a second :-)

We still have some cord maintenance to take care of as well (looks like a bunch of spaghetti right now) and an ugly brown chair that needs to be put out of its misery.

This is my new work surface area... YA-HOO... I have a work surface now... who knew!

Samantha & Scott's desk...

Scott's computer is like the mini-me version of Sam and mine's. It's kinda funny that Sam's computer is a bit bigger/better than her dad's. Tough break kid!!

There are so few words to describe how amazing this shelving unit is... it takes my breath away each time I look at it.

Ladies, you'd agree that I need more ribbon right?? This poor basket looks so bare... Ribbons n' Lace anyone?

And finally this is my new lonely trash can... it's the only thing that sits against the back of the couch (aka our room divider)... just the way it should be.

A HUGE shout out to the hubby who busted his butt all day on Thursday so that I could have this done in basically one day. I am so happy that he just stood back and let me do my thing and supported every little idea so that I could have this office. You're such a stud, baby... I love ya!!!

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Brody stories...

I know I’m biased, but I really do think my kids are hilarious and say the funniest things. Here’s a Brody story for you... Last Sunday (May 20th) we were eating dinner with the TV on in the background turned down pretty low. We were all talking about random things and then some image flashed on the TV. Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues. Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.

Juggling it all...
