tY IN bOOTS

We boughts Ty’s boots LAST weekend and he has yet to take them off – even wanting to sleep in them!  They must be hot and swety in this weather – and they make him walk funny – but he loves them.

We didn’t do too much this weekend (compared to usual) – still doing home improvements every second we get.  Our master bedroom is finally shaping up due to a new coat of paint, selling the hideous goth ceiling fam on craigslist ($50!) and replacing with new light, new blinds and a new large mirror ($12 flea market!)  I also went to a large kids consignment sale on Saturday at the State Fair Grounds – what a cluster.  I have never seen more people in need or an extreme makeover in my life – sorry.  Just because you have kids DOES NOT give you an excuse to look like a homeless person!  I got some good deals on winter clothes for Ty including some snow boots

I took Ty to Monkey Joe’s yesterday – it has been a few months since he has been there.  I felt like I was there for 6 hours; I was seriously drenched in sweat, back hurting, arms hurting.. I got out to the car and realized we were there for 45 minutes!   He absolutely LOVED every second of it and only wanted to go on the biggest slides over and over and OVER.  But he can’t get up the ladder himself (hence my arms hurting.)  The smile on his face was all worth it!

new boots kind of weekend…

 

Gotta love $2 boots from the Flea Market.. oh, and they light up!

Oops.. busy summer!

I have been neglecting my homework again – sorry.  How come life continues to go faster and faster and FASTER!?  It still feels like May to me…  All is good with the Handleys.  Jason’s work is going great – and so is mine.  Ty is HUGE and big into ‘choo-choo’s’ and drawing (on the walls too) right now.  We have definitely seen the ugly head of a tantrum or two (20) but we are all surviving and having a great summer.  He had his 18 month appt. and is still in the 94th percentile for both height and weight.  I assume this has to stop at some point?  It’s not like Jason & I are tall or anything?

Ty and I went up to Baltimore last weekend for a Mee-Maw visit and this past weekend I went to Chicago for a girls weekend with my friend Julie.  We are hittin’ a wedding this weekend in Belhaven, NC and then Jason heads to St. Louis for work – whew!

So next up – Jason’s birthday (25th?) and the upcoming Fall season!  xxoo
