My Half Day Off

Today I had a half day off of work…..exciting yes, but I do have to work tomorrow (Saturday) so boo. Anyway, here is what I did with my time off….

Ya know how last week I did some redecorating? Well, something about the picture I hung above my bed was just not quite right….so I went back to gold ol’ Hobby Lobby and bought this shelf (50% off!)….which is a larger version of the one I put up in the bathroom. Anyway, I like the way it looks above my bed soooo much better. (I bet you like it better too, mom).

Then I spent some time outside with the boys. It is finally starting to get warm! And by warm I mean a high of 49 degrees…..no California weather, but I’ll take it! This is Henry’s little booty.
The Cake will come outside when he is ready.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I also did a little shopping….and bought this bag.
I sure love me a big red bag…especially when it is 65% off!
These are the shoes I wore to work today….they match my new bag!

    Henry has broad shoulders just like his daddy!
    Those cute shoes insisted that you buy that fabulous bag, I’m sure……..

    I had a great consultation regarding your wedding invitations today; I think you will be happy.

    Glad you are back in touch with Holly (Hi Holly!)
