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.

A fish called Sam!!

It's sort of a given when you live in this desert land that your kids have to go through this right of passage called city league swim team. And I gotta say... BRING IT ON! Growing up I always wanted to be on a swim team, nevermind that my strokes often look like someone is having a seizure in the water, but none the less I wished I had tried. Well, you better believe that this mama is living vicariously through her kids when it comes to swim. Sweating palms. Nervous stomach. Pacing back and forth... this is usually how you can find me and Scott on the sidelines. I LOVE IT!! She was pretty good last year for her first year, and this year she really did even BETTER...bringing home 3 first place ribbons. I actually only ended up bring my camera to one of her meets, shameful, I know. But in my quest to be ever more present in my kids' lives I didn't want to be all camera-crazed, jockeying for the BEST position with all the mom-tographers videoing their super-star athletes. R...

Wee little princess...

Oh man, where does one begin to describe our little peanut. For starters I still get a kick out of the random folks that ask me almost weekly what the age difference is between the B's... then the genuine look of shock and awe when I tell the unsuspecting person that they are in fact twins. Let's see...what else about Brooke... -She bounces EVERY where she goes...she can never just walk places she has to twirl, bounce, you name it -She is the most amazing UNtrained dancer EVER...at least that's what her Grandma Herrick would say! -She has the most loving heart I have ever witnessed...loves and cares so unconditionally -Wants to be just like her big sister in the worst way -Has my chin...and it's soooo cute! -Her prayers will melt your heart...no joke! -Still prays everyday that her Grandma will be strong and healthy and we don't dare correct her -Always wants to be on the go and constantly asks to go to the mall -Has the sweetest bond with her bro and I...

Juggling it all...
