A Successful Day!

Today was a great day thanks to Craigslist! I sold a bunk bed set of Brayden's AND my Nikon D40! And, being that we are leaving for Disney World on Monday, the extra cash is going to come in handy! Oh, I can't wait to go! There are a whole lot of us going, like 16 people! My parents decided that for their 40 wedding anniversary they wanted to take the family to Disney World. What a treat! In the mid 80's my dad was stationed in South Florida, so we were able to go to Disney World a few times when family from Texas would come and visit. To this day, I remember the exhilaration of being there. It is such a happy place.

Back to my successful day...... Since I now use my D90 I didn't need the D40 camera any longer and since Brayden doesn't EVER sleep in his bed, I decided to sell them both, and get a double bed that I can lay in with him while I read him a book, etc. Hopefully by the time school starts he will be booted out of our room! That boy is growing like a weed and it is no fun having him in our bed. There have been a few nights this Summer, that all four of us were in one bed. Talk about not getting ANY sleep!

About three days ago I started on organizing our playroom and going through toys. Well being my ADD self..... as I was dealing with the toys and telling Brayden that new toys are a thing of the past and that he will not be getting new things until he turns 20, I noticed that the wallpaper was peeling so I pulled it a little to see how easy it would come off, and before I new it, half of the wall was naked! ..... needless to say, I ended up NOT organizing the playroom and instead stripped the wall, primed it, and I am now in the process of painting. Ugh, my attention span is the pits! Justin came home and saw the mess and had the "we didn't discuss this" look on his face. Surprise honey!

My plan for the playroom is to finish painting the playroom white, and then blow up some great shots of the kids that I have taken and having them printed on a canvas wrap! I can't wait! I will share the final product when I am done. I had intended to take a before shot.... didn't get there. Imagine that!

Today's lesson is.....

This morning as I was dropping off Brayden, he was getting out of my car and I was telling him bye, when as he jumped out, stuff started falling out of my car (yes it is a mess, and needs to be cleaned out DESPERATELY).  His favorite football tumbled out and proceeded to roll behind my car and into the WHOLE drop off line.  I hear Brayden yelling, "my football, my football"!  I had no intention on stopping, at least not there in front of everyone and holding them up.  If you have ever been in a parent pick up or drop off line in an elementary school, it is something that is absolutely CRAZY, and everyone should experience at some point in their life.  

Well a teacher in the line was trying to grab Brayden before he darted out in front of the car. Thankfully the person behind me was watching everything unfold.  Brayden and the teacher went and grabbed his ball.  

As I am driving away, I hear Brayden yelling and running and trying to keep up with me.  I roll down the front passenger window and the next thing I know, I see a football coming through the window and landing in my lap!  

Typical Misti story.  Guess what I will be working on tonight......  CLEANING OUT MY CAR!
