Quicky

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on now that we are home from Padre, but here is a pic my hubby took while we were there. This is what happens after a few beers, long day on the beach, and the realization you are OLD now!!

Day One- Done

So the guys are pretty sure they came in first this leg! They start again tomorrow morning for the second leg of the race.

South Padre, TX

We are in South Padre, TX for the Ruff Riders Regatta. Last year was our first time here and Clint and his Dad did awesome! This year we are here with our friends, Jeff & Kerri Due. We got here Wednesday night after 16 hours of driving! So, since then I've done a lot of this....

And this.....


So it's been really nice! Tomorrow is the first day of the race. The boys have already gone to bed for the night and we just finished watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Interesting movie!! I'll post about the race tomorrow.

If Only...

If Only I had an unlimited budget & lots of time... This is what I would do....
Check out "The Old Painted Cottage" and OooooHHHH and AWWWEEE over her before and after! I am in LURVE with this house I could just EAT it up!!!

Oh to be 9!!!

Last week was the first week of school. As most teachers in elementary do, Mrs. Boswell (Blake's 4th grade teacher) handed out papers for the kids to complete about their first day/week of school.

1. What I like to collect: Roks

2. Something I do well: Play BaceBall

3. Famous Person I Would Like To Meet: Ozy Ozborn

4. My Best Quality: Play Ensterments

Ok, if that doesn't make you smile...

Bathroom Upgrade!

While Clint was out of town yesterday I decided to spend my time making curtains for my tiny bathroom. Our window is in a place that can be EASILY looked in when outside on our wrap around deck. I have always been scared someone is going to be walking by and "accidentally" see something they weren't supposed to see :)

So....here is a pic of my tiny bathroom before.

And here is the little window...I purchased a very pretty metallic shower curtain from Target and some great fabric and trim on sale at Hancocks.

Here's the "after"....



I bought these great pics at Kirklands. I have not hung them yet, but I love how they will "complete" the room!

Weekend Project

This weekend my sweet husband and his BFF Jeff are off to Kansas for a catamaran regatta. I'm going to miss my hubby, but I will TRY to enjoy a quiet house. hee hee hee

One of the projects that I have on my list to do is to spruce up my bathroom. I picked up this really chic shower curtain at Target ($24.99) and headed over to Hancock to check out some fabric. I got my hands on this piece (40% off) and some coordinating trim (also 40% off).

I have a few other things that I hope to get done this weekend... but we'll see!! Stay tuned for some after pics!!
