Our long weekend of fun ended today when we dropped Auntie Lisa off at Hartsfield-Jackson this afternoon. I wasn't sure if Amelia was going to let her get away, but after explaining that Jake (Lisa's dog) was missing her and likely laying in the floor crying, she was alright. Although, if the child hadn't been in a five-point harness, I would bet she woulda tried to climb into a suitcase.
On Saturday, we girls ventured up to Roswell for a little shopping.
I picked up some jingle jangles, which I'm always in the mood for ...
... and wouldn't you know I found exactly what I set out to get! Don't you love when that happens?? Because we all know that only happens a few times in a lifetime.
I have been on the lookout for a small-ish table for Jack and Amelia for them to do some of their "work" and maybe even eat some meals. My criteria: small, but large enough to for them to use for a while, very sturdy, and pretty (of course).
And here she is:
The table met all of my requirements ... and even threw in a couple bonuses. ;o)
It is a pretty little piece that makes me smile. Hopefully, it will serve us for many years.
This morning, I found Amelia downstairs practicing her letters. They are crude and out of order, but they are the product of her sweet little efforts.
On the Jack Jack front, I am trying to piece together a few ideas for his new room in our new home in Tejas. I am not one for a themed room, but I do like a little direction and cohesion.
His room will have a pair of painted twin beds. And maybe one day, he'll have a brother to go in one.
Love all your new posts.
When is your move to Texas? Hope it's cooler when you move it's been a beating of a summer.

Loving the ideas for Jack's new room- and that table is a wonderful find. We *thought* we'd found a sturdy pedestal table, but one of our twins still managed to break it. Enjoy the rest of your Summer in Georgia.
Bless you'

Love the letters that your daughter is drawing! We have the same white board...have you seen the new washable dry erase markers?! We found them at Target...fabulous!

That table is gorgeous and AK's written letters are oh-so-cute. I love the direction you're taking for Jack's room.

I love that beautiful table! :) Precious letters! Love that she is practicing her writing! Can't wait to see your kid's rooms before you move and start new bedrooms! :) I'm still thinking about your white quilt collection! :) Are they new or vintage quilts!?!

Lovely table, Katie! You are going to have so much fun decorating a new house in TEXAS! How exciting :)

Maybe a brother? Are you hinting at something?

I have a son, then a daughter and then a son! I love having 2 boys! My boys share a room and have 2 adorable twin beds with a nightstand in between! They have 2 awesome maps hanging on their walls! I love little boy's rooms (and little girl's rooms)! So cute! Can't wait to see your son's room at the new house!
Are you hinting? Oooh, I sure hope so! I'd be thrilled for you! But, no pressure an upcoming move is enough on your plate! :)

I love the maps. I have a friend who did her bathroom walls in maps. It turned out so cute.
Maybe a wallpaper of maps using decopague, or maybe a framing of maps.
Oh and pottery barn kids has the best twin bed ideas.
Just some sujestions.
Oh and I almost forgot, Welcome to Texas.

I have been noticing little *hints* here and there too.... Soooo, will there be new little one to put in the duck boat which you'll get for Christmas?
Posted by: Rachel | August 31, 2011 at 08:04 PM
I agree, are you hinting something missy? :)
I really love your slipcovered sofa. Where did you get it? We are in the market for a new sofa owing to the fact that our two toddlers are determined to kill any and all upholstery in the house...
