Hello Friday!

Hello Friday!

This is a big weekend for us!  The kids don't have school today, so we're soaking up that goodness.   Tomorrow Jesse has a home basketball game, Emma has a birthday/sleepover at a friends house and then we'll spend the rest of the day getting Gracie ready to go to PROM!  Eeek!  I'm so excited to get her all dolled up.  My sister is helping do nails tonight, so tomorrow, we'll focus on makeup and hair.  She's going to look so gorgeous in her dress, and I can't wait to take a gazillion pictures of her.

I would think that last paragraph should have covered enough of my favorites for the week, but in case you want a few more...

How about these dresses?!

I was looking for a couple of dresses that I could take on our upcoming vacation.  I think this first dress is so fun and classy.  It's only available in a small, so I'm hoping it fits.

And, I went ahead and ordered this second one as well.  I think it's super cute, but I'm worried that it might be too short for me.  I have a long torso and long legs, plus I'm a 34 year old Mom... Nobody wants to see me wearing a dress that hits right below my booty.  I ordered a medium in this, since the small was out of stock, and I'm crossing my fingers that it fits perfectly, and isn't too short.



A friend of mine is coming out to help me paint my bedroom this afternoon, and I can't wait.  I painted one of the walls to make sure that we'd like the color okay, and I think we're going to like it.  I keep reminding myself that this doesn't have to be permanent.  If we change our minds later on, we can always repaint. Does anyone else have a hard time committing to a color?
  

Dan and I attended a benefit where we were able to buy a painting of my brother's.  This is only the second painting of his that I own.  So I'm excited to find just the right place in my house to display it.  Whats better than having a painting that you love, painted by someone you love.  My favorite kind of art.


And because we all need more laughter and humor in our lives, I give you my last 2 favorites for the week.

My sister sent me this meme, and I love it.  If you are a book sniffer, you'll totally relate.  If you don't, just be aware that there are book sniffers out there.  Haha!  :) 


I'm sure I've posted this before, but every time I see this, I laugh.



Okay, so that's it for today...
  I've liked up with Andrea, Erika & Narci.
Christina, April & Natasha with Five On Friday.


Have a great weekend you guys.  I'll be back next week with lots of pictures!  Wish us luck with this whole prom experience.  :)


XO,

  3. Can't wait to see the PROM pictures. So exciting!!! (although Katie and I were shopping this week and I said I sure was glad we weren't looking for prom dresses this year😉) Your room is going to look gorgeous and I can't wait to see the finished product. Maybe it'll spur me on to do mine. Love the dresses and JENNY...34 is so young sweet friend! Have a great weekend! XO

    1. Thanks for stopping by. We are loving it now that it's complete. I think we are still getting used to it, since it's been light for so long, but it's a fun change. :)

  6. I love the second dress! Your wall color looks like it will be fabulous! I can't stop laughing about the book sniffing!! My elementary librarian taught us to sniff our books, she used to make us do it every time we checked out a book!

    1. The wall color turned out really nice. We love it. And I can't imagine making someone else sniff a book. Haha!
