We have been busy with the Wright girls! Whether it's playdates, pool time, sewing or meeting at the Y, we have been doing quite a bit with them these last couple of weeks.
We had water day at Mimi's pool. When the pool got boring, we all {even the Mommies..I don't recommend it..it's not as fun as when I was little} tried the slip n' slide. When in the pool, my kids had more floats on than a navy ship. Mac is getting much friendlier with the water, but Lily Kate is still a ball of nerves which is fine with me. It's hot these days down here in the Lowcountry, but the pool is the way to go for my crew. Plus they take awesome naps when it's all over!
How is it Leslie still manages to look tres chic even on a slip n' slide?? Pure glamour that girl is.
Okay, next is our report of the projects we have been knee deep in. Mommy more so than Daddy, but still. We had hardwoods put down in the whole first floor. Quite exciting! We had been planning on it since we moved in, however it is just now coming to fruition. The kids and I packed up and spent two days and a night with the Kabine's so we wouldn't be in their hair. All that is left is the quarter round, but take a look at the before and after!! I have to say I am a bit embarrassed at our carpet. I just always knew we would put down these floors so I failed to vaccum every day (I think that is what it takes to keep carpet looking good when you have a dog and two kids). Oh well. It's done now! Here is the before:
And the after:
I guess because we went with a dark wood that these pictures are so dark looking...even though they were taken at the same time of day as the before pics! Nonetheless we are enjoying them! Of course the living room is not at all in place, but that will come with time. Now we need paint and I need to get busy on the curtains. The projects are neverending!
Other projects include making a shelf unit for Mac's room, and lots and lots of sewing. I have been working with the fabric from you-know-where making two table skirts and a duvet cover. What a nightmare, take a look:
Matching up this oh-so detailed pattern on the fabric has been a task. I look forward to it all being done!
As if I needed more to do, I have taken on the task of learning how to smock!!! I am quite excited about this as I can take it everywhere with me and do it anywhere. Leslie has been teaching me and I think she was so excited when I told her I was ready to learn. Since she's been teaching me, we meet and smock!! I know this sounds boring to most, but it is wonderful!! The kids play or sleep and we just get to sit and mentally unwind. I think I am ready to start my first project, so stay tuned!
Family fun has been in full swing too. We all went to our first Riverdogs game (baseball team here). Even though it lasted a whole 45 minutes, it was fun! Mac spiked a fever and we had to leave, but we know we will go again! Here are some pics from the day:
Lastly we took a small trip to see Nana and Paw paw in the mountains over the weekend. Aunt Lisa, Uncle Keith and all our cousins were there which made it super duper fun! Here are some pictures from our trip!
