Breakfast, Boys’ Room & Waiting

Harper’s backing fabric arrived yesterday…yah!  Now maybe, just maybe, I can get this quilt thing figured out over the weekend.  Wish me luck.

We are big breakfast people.  We always eat breakfast and we love cereal.  It’s pretty much a staple in our house and we go through lots and lots of it.  I really never took notice until the other day when I went grocery shopping.  I squealed with delight when I saw that some our favorites were on sale + I had matching coupons…how about 5 huge boxes for $11…it got my blood pumping.

And muffins…well don’t get me started on muffins.  Like this morning the kids and I turned this pile of muffins:

into this in a mere 20 minutes…we really dig muffins.

I have been working for a while on gathering items to make a collection for above Hud and Sol’s beds.  It’s taken some time, but yesterday we walked aimlessly through Home Depot for about an hour looking for the last thing I wanted…and I found it.

Swing chains = greatness.

  Needless to say, I came home and immediately started piecing everything together.  Remember those old bike spokes…they finally have a home.  I think it’s pretty stellar…and the boys like it too.

Now I just need my third little boy home…his bike spoke is waiting.

We are waiting…all the time…everyday.  We talk about him…we pray for him…we dream about him.  OH.MY.WORD what a day it will be when he is home.  My heart is about to burst and everyday I think…this is it…it has to end today…I need him with me, in my arms…like now.  Plus, we really need another little one to accompany us to Chick-fil-A.

Happy Thursday!

  2. Love the boys’ room! You are so creative and talented! I love your blog, and I can’t wait to see your post when you get your referral very soon!!!

  3. OK, so I just sat and read all your recent posts – well, however many that is before I would have had to hit an “older posts” button (not like I can just sit around all day reading blogs – have to give myself clearly defined limits! – lots of little people needing me to actually be mom around here)! anyway, several things…1) i’m pretty sure, when i grow up, i want to be just like you! you rock – in every way! 2) not sure what to think about your boys in their dresses 😉 (except that ALL my boys -except Ben since he’s the oldest – have undergone the same fate on more than one occasion around here – and don’t tell anybody, but they really quite enjoyed themselves too) 3) i thought i was the only one who posted pics of my kiddos on the potty, but no! pretty sure our kids are all gonna be seeing the same counselor in a few years 🙂 4) despite your pretty good sale of it, i don’t think i will ever be a CEC fan. ever. doesn’t mean we don’t go, but i have yet learned exactly how to embrace it — maybe it’s the cheese sticks i’ve been missing. 5) pretty cool to see your kid’s name on someone else’s blog (you know my little guy is sol too, right?) and 6) just want you to know i’m praying for your family and cheering you on as you guys keep waiting for #4…can’t wait to meet him. Happy week – if only i could be a smidgen as focused and productive as you! Blessings ~ Kelley Williams
