Life

Boxes are being packed. Slowly. Getting quite the stack in the basement now.

We finally pulled out our A/C for the summer. It hasn't been too stupidly hot yet, but the house has reached 29 degrees, and it's just a touch more comfortable at 27.

Yesterday we took Paisley to the downtown spray park (the fountains shoot to music). She hated it. We thought we'd get some good pictures... but she would tense up every time the water sprayed... so it was short lived.

I only have Joel for 2 days this week. So Paisley and I will get to have some play time one on one. We have plans to visit the zoo this week though!

Maybe I'll come across something to post later today.. but I don't have any pictures, (well they're still on the camera).

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Needing inspiration

I've been giving a lot of thought to Paisley's new room, and how I want to decorate it. I don't want to invest much, it'll be more of a gradual process.

But I'm looking for ideas, colour suggestions, etc.

Please help!


I want to keep this quilt as a part of it, because it's her quilt from Grandma:

She has some nice built in display shelves in her room as well.

:)

So give me some suggestions... and I can brainstorm further!

Paisley's first pool party

On Saturday the 13th, Paisley went to Raylee's birthday party. It was her first POOL PARTY!

Paisley was the first in the pool.... fully clothed. So we brought out the bathing suit pretty much right away.

Busy again

Here are some photos from yesterday. Paisley's first ponytail, and she's wearing a dress (as a top) from my childhood.

And I did get some video of her walking, but I've got to shorten it before I can post it. SO maybe tomorrow (but with my parents coming for the weekend, having an extra kid for the evening, having a showing in the morning, and having to finish Paisley's birthday dress, it might not happen for a few days.
