Again........Really?

Remember this?  And this?  And this?

All right before company was coming? 

Well dumb me decided to do it again.  BUT it will not be finished any time soon.  BUT it was motivation to get me started and hopefully that will motivate me to finish after everybody leaves next week.  Oh did I not mention, that I'll have 13 extra people in my house next week for Thanksgiving?


This is our master bedroom.  I'm super excited about the color.  It's gonna make the room a little darker, but with some good lights--I think it will make it cozier.

BTW:  there are 10 walls in my room.  I now have 4 mostly done (I noticed one little spot that needs a touch up)

And sorry the picture is blurry.  I took it with my phone.

NCAA Hall of Champions

The Wednesday after we got back from FL, Daddy still had off work.  So we decided to go downtown to see the NCAA Hall of Champions.  I had a Groupon coupon (I really like that site):  $5 for Daddy and I to get in (BOGO) and C was only $3.  It was a good thing we only paid $8 to get in; it isn't that big.  But there are some cool things there.  We could have gotten through the entire thing in less than an hour; but we were there about an hour and a half.  After we were done there, we walked around downtown Indianapolis.  We walked down by the canal, which I had never been down to before.  It's really pretty.  Then we went and got lunch and headed home.  It was a nice field trip (when you homeschool, you can turn anything into a field trip).




They had little sections for so many different sports.

There was a gym that C had so much fun playing ball!


And Daddy is the winner!


My second favorite college team.


This was a simulation machine for snow skiing.  Man, that thing was hard!

This was a computer simulation machine for football and soccer.

I love the saying on this picture.




Downtown Indy by the canal.

Can you find C?



What a cute little boy!

Congrats to my brother!

My brother got married last weekend.  It was somewhat of a destination wedding.  It was in a little resort town on the beach about 2 hours away from Pensacola.  It was a beautiful town!  The weather was perfect!  We had such a good time (I only cried twice!)

Here is our trip in a nutshell:  We drove down to Pensacola Thursday and stayed at my mom's house that night.  Friday morning we drove over to Rosemary Beach.  My mom had planned a bridal luncheon for 1 that day.  Talk about yummy food!  (Actually we ate good all weekend!)  The rehearsal dinner was at 6 that night.  The next morning, the 3 of us ate breakfast, walked the town, ate lunch, played on the beach, went to the wedding, stayed for most of the reception, then went back to our "flat."  (yes we stayed in a flat; not a hotel or room--a flat)  Sunday morning we drove back to Pensacola, took our nephew (who is at PCC) out for lunch and some shopping, and started back home.  We stayed in Birmingham Sunday night and finished our trip home on Monday.  Daddy had Tuesday and Wednesday off too.  Tuesday we went to Wal Mart and picked up our dog.  Wednesday we went downtown to the NCAA Hall of Champions and walked around downtown.  Thursday and Friday it was back to our schedule; even though it was only 2 days it seemed like a long week!

Bridal Luncheon at a Tapas Restuarant.  We had some awesome food!

Rehearsal dinner.  This was the pretty table.  The next table over had the shrimp boil.  YUM!


What's left of the shrimp boil.

The beach and the water were beautiful!  So was the weather!







This was breakfast: a breakfast cupcake.  The cake part was pancake batter based, the icing was a molasses flavor, and it had bacon bits on top.  So very yummy!



I kinda got C to dance with me at the wedding--kinda.......
