burlap and snores

Sir Nikson and I have been quite busy here at the homestead.  Blake is working full-time, going to school full-time, and mowing the lawn full time so we try to fill up those empty moments with some fun things.

I needed something for an open spot in the kitchen and this proved to be the filler. I fell in love with jones design company's woven pin board.
I am not the best at these crafty things, but I love how it turned out.

 

 We painted the back wall, and by we I mean, Blake and Nikson played while Mom hastily tried to finish during conference break. I wanted something that would make the palisades sofa POP! and I think the color did the trick. (Lessey, what do you think?)

We busted out the Halloween bin. It's funny how different houses create different looks. We have been in a different place for every Halloween, and so far, this house is my favorite.

This is also what I have come across in my efforts to do projects. I always wondered when he would fall asleep in the high chair. Early Saturday morning whilst I was preparing breakfast I turned to find my partner had given out on me. So I cook solo. Why is it that the mom never gets to sleep? I think it's because she has to be there to capture the moment. Check out those lashes!
