Furniture Shopping

Since we had to take everything off the walls for the painters, I figured it was a good time to update some pictures.  I took these down....... these were taken one month after Jason died.  I remember trying so hard to fake a smile that day.  My head was spinning and I was wondering how in the world I was going to go on and raise these boys all by myself.  My heart was and still is, crushed.

I decided to use some pictures from our last beach trip.  I think they turned out good.

Got some black and whites of the boys for these frames in the hall.

October has been so busy that we haven't had a chance to do our annual pumpkin painting.  We started this when Hudson was really little.

Everyone had things to do that night- tests to study for, projects to make......so it just seemed rushed this year :(

I had to represent Young Living :)

On Friday, Shawn and I ventured over to Dallas and went to Nebraska Furniture Mart for the first time.  Wow, its huge.

We were looking for a leather chair, which we found.  Unfortunately, it's out of stock (like every other thing we've bought for our house) so we have to wait a few weeks for it.  October has been the month of learning patience for us.

Next up was Ikea. Which we both hate but they have these certain organization tables that I need.  Doesn't this guy look excited?

I let sweet boy pick where we had lunch and he chose Sushi.  Definitely not my favorite but I found something I could eat.  He was in sushi heaven.

Starting to put one of the tables together.  We got 2 of them and this will hopefully be where Cooper builds his Legos and stores them when not using.  I feel like our house has been taken over!

Cooper came home from school not feeling well.  He called me twice from school but he didn't have fever and I was in Dallas.  I feel bad because he got home and looked horrible and slept most of the afternoon and evening.  I oiled him up every 20 minutes or so, diffused Thieves by his bed, had him drink lemon water, took a warm salt bath.....

......and thankfully he woke up looking like himself and showing me his new "accordion" (I keep telling him its called a recorder but he forgets) Praying he kicked that little bug!
