I love short weeks! Especially when you're getting used to a new routine.
The kids went back to school this week. It was pretty easy slipping back into the routine. Addie has adjusted well to getting up earlier...and is compensating with a longer morning nap. yey!! Especially considering she pretty much only takes one good nap a day.
Yes, 1 yr old and only 1 good nap a day.
{sigh}
So I take full advantage of that!
My son had a great first day. My daughter...not so much. It seems there's a kid in her class who was less than nice to her. I will save the words I would really like to use and let's just say this boy is a brat and leave it at that...shall we??
{double sigh}
But it's getting better and the teacher it seems has already recognized it...which in my book is half the battle already won.

Speaking of the first day of school, it was also my birthday :) These pretty flowers came for me...
Aren't they gorgeous??!! Oh man, I could smell them even before the guy came up on my porch! And that sunflower is huge!!
I {heart} sunflowers
And my new love from Ephiphanie (from my hubby)...
{swoon}
Seriously, I haven't had something this nice since before I had kids!!
I've been drooling over these for a loooong time. The mustard colored one is my 2nd fave. I can fit my camera, lens, Fuji instax, video camera & wallet in there with a bit of room to spare!
Although, I will tell you, I don't think the colors on the website look the same in person. At least not with this one. Online it looks more blue but in person it's more green. Just an FYI.
But it doesn't matter to me, I still love it :)
So I guess this will carry me through the next 40 yrs. Right honey??!

Moving on...
I hit up an estate sale out in Deer Park this morning. I was a little hesitant driving out there because the ad on Craigslist didn't look super promising.
I was wrong. Love when I'm wrong about that!
When the van is full...it's a good day junkin'!!
Some cute furniture pieces. About 10 gorgeous big frames (one I'm definitely keeping for myself...stay tuned on that one!)
That little nightstand reminds me of the dresser redo I did for my daughter's room a while back...
Now to find room in my garage...hopefully I can manage to do that before the hubby gets home ;)
**********
I managed to sneek in a tiny bit of crafty time to whip up these cute little tags...
I love cute packaging :) These will go on some goodies I'm taking up to my space at This Old House.

My garden is slowly but surely coming along. I planted it about a month late. I think I might have a batch of Romas by this weekend. That means some canning!
I have quickly discovered that my twine 'trellises' do NOT work with these Roma tomatoes. These things are growing EVERYwhere. It's crazy! I definitely need to use something better next year...
But they're working perfectly for the 'regular' tomatoes...can't remember what I planted...
Olivia's flowers are loving where we planted them...
baby green pepper :)
I'm hoping to head up to Green Bluff this weekend & maybe get some peaches :)
TGIF!!!
