Day #57

I wore gray shirt, polka dotted gray undershirt, green striped skirt, black boots, matching necklace & earring set, and I wore my hair to the side.  Thank goodness for short day.  We had lots of feasting at school today.  NO school tomorrow!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Projects

 Ben and Dad put together our new free couch that we'll keep for a bit.

 Mom and I laid out fabric and made curtains Saturday night.  We started place mats too.

 Here we are on Sunday finishing up the sets.

We sure do appreciate them & love having them here!

Day #56

Brown boots, orange tights, brown skirt, orange shirt with a brown tank top underneath, brown ribbon with orange flower in my hair, orange heart ring, orange dangle earrings.  Hooray for a few last fall days of fall weather!  Today was high 50's. 

Day #55

Today was, "Color Explosion" as my friend put it!  I wore my pink skinny jeans, blue long sleeved shirt with a green lace undershirt, a yellow scarf, yellow earrings, yellow heart ring, yellow flower in my hair which is done in a side pony, and my brown/pink shoes.  TGIF!

Day #54

Sorry for the late blog tonight, I was at school teaching a training for our new math program.  Hooray for training and Blah on the new program.  It is so tricky and hard!

Well, for my outfit, I have on my gray boots, purple tights, aqua skirt, gray long sleeved shirt, black belt, gray striped undershirt, and my multi-colored necklace.  My hair is straight.  The fire was blazing when I got home.

Don't let that smile fool you!  It was an exhausting day!  My AM class is wild and wears me out, so by the time I get to my wonderful fun PM class I am exhausted and burned out.  Then my training went as well as it could.  I'm just so tired and ready for Thanksgiving break... "BREAK!"  And boy, do I need it!

Smith's Moved... AGAIN!

Did you know?  They are no longer 3rd floor people any more!  Welcome to your new house Smith Family! 

But before we get to the new house, let's move out of the apartment!

 Jared and Jonathan eating fruit!

 Jared and Jonathan in the moving truck.

 Looking down 3 floors as the king size mattress makes its way down.

 Jared helping carry Matt's lacrosse stick.  What a good moving buddy!

 My Ben was in charge of organizing the truck (he couldn't go inside to move boxes down and out because of his allergies to the cat).

 Taking a break and being cozy!

 Richard and Jonathan moving down the washer.  Look at those buff boys!

 Here is Jonathan attempting to broaden his talent and play the piano vertically!

 The new house.

 Jared was sliding down the ramp.

 Matt moving and  helping Jared stay occupied. 

 The kitchen boxes.

 The entryway.

 The play corner and the door that leads to nowhere. 

 Jared's blue room!

 Jonathan playing in Jared's play house. Jared refers to it lovingly as the Pizzeria. 

 What a good helper!  He loves to play and rake leaves in his new yard!

 Here they are with a garage full of boxes ready to move into their new home!  "Ta-dah"

 Welcome home sista friend!  I love you and your cute family!

 First things unpacked and set up:  WASHER & DRYER.  Oh yeah baby!

Here's my assistant, Ben, helping out my sister, Nettina!

Welcome to the Jungle!

I've been acquiring plants left and right and am thrilled to have so many places for them!  Here are some of my recent acquisitions:

Here's what it looked like while we were working on re-potting the plants:

Dirt, plants and newspaper all over!

Day #53

I'm Peter Pan!!!

And yes, I can fly! 


Today I wore my black leggings, black boots, Old Navy layered skirt, black long sleeved shirt, with my green striped shirt over, my black necklace, and green/black earrings!  I wore my hair in a side braided pony.  Lots of layers=warm, happy me!

Cutest kid ever?

Here is my sweet little niece.  She is 3 months old and already rocking a killer wardrobe!  Plus she gets to change clothes at least 3 times a day, lucky girl (my poor sister has to keep up with her outfits and the laundry).  I would love to change outfits more than 1 time a day!  I have so many ideas and not enough days to wear all my clothes!  When I was little, I used to change outfits all day long.  How many of you out there did this?  Is this normal kid behavior? 

Anyway, here is Miss M in her cute little cheetah/animal print outfit from Carter's, "Microfleece Snap-Up Sleep & Play".   She's sporting bright blue eyes, long dark eye lashes and an adorable expression!

Here's a pic of the full outfit for your viewing pleasure:




I must say how cute are the little pink feet!  Animal print is definitely in style right now!  Are you following this trend?

Day #52

Here's me wearing black pants, black shoes, a black turtle neck sweater with flecks of gold in it, black earrings and red lips.  I parted my hair on a drastic side part and pulled it back into a tight bun.  :)  I'm standing in our guest room, which needs some furniture, but it is finally clean & organized and ready for our first guest room guests.  (we've had others over and they stayed in other various parts of the house).  Hooray for clean houses!
