Things I love…

Dawson’s airplane mobile:

I’m not sure what it is about airplanes, they make me happy. When we were kids my brother and I could recite Top Gun word for word {even the bad ones :) } I always thought a boys room should have airplanes in it. I’m trying not to make his room too themed, because I know kids have a tendency to collect and display disparate objects in their rooms, but the airplanes make me happy.

 

My New Kitchen Counters and Sink

OK… I really, really need to paint that moulding…

…and the ugly honey oak cabinets are still there. And this looks NOTHING like the tile I thought we might put down on the counters… I changed my mind. I’m a woman, it’s my perogative. Since this is not the forever house we compromised and decided that new cabinets were not in the budget. I contemplated painting them, talked to a few people who informed me that because the sides are just a piece of oak laminate that painting them would be a mistake. I surrendered to the oak in this house, but the new counters make them look better {if that’s at all possible} And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new sink!

These Boys:

Even all covered in mud!

“Boys are found everywhere – on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around, or jumping to… A boy is truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in it’s hair, and the Hope of the future with a frog in it’s pocket”

- Alan Marshall Beck
