It is never "just" another week

Phone call from Gabby while I am at work and she is at band camp....

"Um, Mrs. A, this is Jess."
"Hi Jess"
"Um, I'm calling because Gabby got hit in the face with her flag and chipped her tooth."
"Your joking, right?!"
"I wish I was!"
"I wish you were too! Is there any blood?"
"Some but not much."

Yep, my kid can't help but get herself hurt. I'm thinking she is going to end up looking like this...




So, with Abby on the mend from getting her wisdom teeth out last week, Gabby will be going in on Monday to get her tooth fixed.

I just have to giggle that the band director mentioned something about Gabby getting hurt doing the easiest flag move. Yep, I think I warned her :}

Such is my week!

Hugs!

Just Call me Monet

I have failed again!

I know! I know!

I was supposed to have pictures of the room makeover up yesterday.

Here is the room "before"

Now, for those of my readers that feel like my house is never in disarray.....

Gabby working on taping.....
How many of you have mattresses living in your hallway?

Drumroll please...............................

Edris decided on a light lavender. This color is called "potentially purple". We LOVE IT!


We are undecided about the lamps. Love the turqouise one but think she may need more light.

And the perfect ceiling fan.....

We love the way the room came out. There are a few more things that we are going to add like a mirror and a white board/cork board so Edris can add her personality.

Edris, we hope you will enjoy your room! We can't wait for you to get here!!

In other news.....

Today was an emotionally draining day for us. We had to make a huge decision.

Who would the girls play softball for next summer?

You may laugh. But this is a big deal for them. They are moving up in age level to the 16's age group. They tried out for the team they played for this summer but moved up a level. And they tried out for a team that Gabby played for two summers ago. In the end, we are staying closer to home next year and praying that we made the right decision. It is hard to say goodbye to the families we have grown to love this summer. Their girls are all precious to us and we can't wait to see them in school ball as our high school teams play each other.

Abby is doing better today. She still has her chipmonk checks but is able to be up and about. Gabby has band camp with week so it will just be me and Abby all week by ourselves. Tomorrow is a doctors appointment for my car. It needs an oil change, tire rotation, and new front brakes. It will likely be a costly one :{ But, at least the car is paid for and we plan to keep it for A LONG time. Thus worth the cost to keep it going! Ah, I love my Accord :}

Need to get things going for the week.

Hugs!
