Me as a Rug?

We can Dine In.

We purchased this set on Craigs List comes with leaf, It is sturdy and Pottery Barn. I am excited to have a table to eat at as a family. I do still hope for White Faux Bamboo chairs to go with the table some day. But I do like the set and it is hard to not purchase a set when you are trying to get a good deal. And above is our a picture wall in progress. The thing is now that we have a table we have to worry about the dumb carpet under it..... why white and why in the dining area for an apartment I never understood or understand.

TAG..A..Lag

8-Things that happened yesterday instead of church for today:

-Learned that a girl friend of mine liked to scare people with her fathers stuffed pheasant when she was younger. (Don't worry Raschell I won't say it was you)
-Got very irritated with Nathan though it was not his fault (he was out in the middle of no mans land and we could not understand each other on the phone. (BIG PET PEEVE)

-Laughing with siblings again and making them laugh also.
-Getting the loves that Lily gives to me tomorrow, and hearing her little feet coming into our room, best thing to wake up to.

I TAG A LAG all Chippings and whom ever wants to be tagalaged.

My Babblings

So to be honest I have been tripping out a bit lately. Lily is starting to say words we ask her to say, say words for things she see's, crawl out of bed in the morning and come into our room, along with more big girl stuff. This afternoon she was not going down for her nap so I just left her in bed and said it is time for a nap and closed her door, I could see and hear that she got off her bed and went to the door and reached to open it on her tippy toes, but without crying she just stood by the door got tired and the next thing I know she put herself back into her big girl bed.... I don't know how she got up there either. The reason I say that I am tripping out is not because I want her to be a baby again or because I have to watch more how I act around her. The reason is, is because I feel so Mom like or something, I know I felt like her mother when she arrived and some before when she was in my belly. But now I feel more like a Mom....if that makes sense, Like she has friends say Hi Lily's Mom, and I am the one to do the work to find a good babysitter instead of wanting to kick it with the babysitter or something.(yes on our last date the babysitters mom had to let me know that she wants her daughter focusing on babysitting ...when I said maybe she could bring a friend and I was thinking of ordering pizza or something.) I guess I need to learn some things. I don't know if it is because of what has happened in my life recently or the growing Lily but I am definitely feeling like a kid trying to be more adult or just a Mom shifting into being a Mom I am not quite sure, maybe it is all because I know a little someone is listening and understanding so much more now.

I came upon this from looking at blogs for my blogs blog on the left and it is so funny and creative I had to share it. They take their children's drawings as inspiration to make into crazy, silly art I love it. http://www.yeondoojung.com/artworks_view_wonderland.php?no=88
