Weekend Entertainment

Two words: class picture.

A facebook friend added this photo this evening and tagged me in it. I laughed so hard.

I have decided that 4th-6th grade are the most awkward years in a child's life. This picture proves it.

How do you like the teddy bear vest I'm wearing? Yup, that's the embroidered print on it. Bronzes, greens, and creams. What a fashion statement. I guarantee you my jeans went past my belly button and were straight legged. I probably was wearing my black shoes that were a hand-me-down from my grandma. I mean, they went to my ankles, were fake leather, had rubber soles, and were topped off with black laces. That's right, I wore those shoes every day that year. No one could talk me out of it.

Anyway, enjoy! It got a laugh out of me.



What Is That?!

Since I no longer have Lady (our fish) here, I had to find something to fill up the big white space above our cube. I wasn't feeling very creative, so I just set the beautiful painted window that my friend Ashley painted on it for now. Tonight, I unwrapped the adorable owl I found at Hobby Lobby and set it there as well.

Before too long, I heard chirping. This sound normally means that Theodore is doing something he shouldn't be doing. It's his onery sound.

Sure enough, he had spotted the new addition.

I guess he thought that fighting it would be a good idea. Cats sure are funny. They don't like for their environments to change... at all. I keep trying to prepare him for the big move to New York, but I am afraid that Andrew and I are going to be in for it when he gets there. That's a LOT of changes for the little guy.

I just had to get a close-up of my new owl. I can't wait to get this in the kitchen of our new home! I really like it!

Side note... isn't that painted window awesome? Check out her Etsy shop!!



Take Me Too!

I have been packing a few things here and there to send with my brother to New York. I had quite the stack ready to go with him- including Lady the goldfish.

Theodore, being the ever-so-jealous cat that he is, decided to do a little bit of packing of his own. Look carefully... he has packed two of his toys away.

I laughed pretty hard when I saw this. I know that he wishes he could go to New York in place of Lady. Sadly for him, he's my favorite, so I am being selfish with him.

I saw Lady off around 1:00 this morning. Theodore cried to go too. I showed no sympathy ; )

I am so glad that Tyler is going to spend some time with Andrew in New York. It warms my heart that my family loves Andrew so much. I am thrilled that Tyler is taking the opportunity that he has to get to know Andrew better so they can have a closer friendship. It's such a blessing that he makes that effort to include Andrew in the family. I hope they have an awesome week... it took everything in me to not sneak my way into his backseat! My time will come soon enough... 3 weeks, 4 days, 3 hours, 23 minutes, 49 seconds. Roughly, that is. ; )
