Day 131: LIVE ORANGE (9/30)

On Thursday this week OSU played a national televised game against Texas A&M.

It was an amazing game that came down to the last point! I love it now that we live close enough to go to all the OSU games!

Go Pokes!

Day 130: Long John Silver's Dinner (9/29)

How Freaking Cute!! Don't mind the bottle, he was a little grumpy.

Day 129: OKC Public School Computer (9/28)

Working for OKC Public School (OKCPS) has it advantages. For starters, every teacher gets their own laptop. I had to wait for a bit on mine but I finally receive it earlier this month.

Because I am who I am, I could carry it in the boring black bag so I look around and found this Vera Bradley on Craigslist for a good deal!

I love it! It's so perfect for carrying the laptop everyday because a disadvantage of working for OKCPS is that you can't leave expensive stuff overnight at the school!

Day 128: (Slowly) Coming Along... (9/27)

The counter tops and most of the tile are installed in the house. The only thing left with the tile is the grout.

Tile can be found on the floor in the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room and the entry way. Also tiled is the back splash and around the tubs and shower.  So it's all coming along slowly. At the pace it's going, we may be lucky to move in November 1st!

We will see and pictures will continue to show up!

Day 127: Slow days, Best days (9/26)

Sometimes the days were you don't come out of your pjs or in Gavin's case wear nothing but your diaper all day are the best days.

We did nothing but play with our toys all day!

Day 126: Princess Rye (9/25)

Rye hasn't been wanting to wear bows or headbands lately. However, Aunt Shanda sends Dana Ava's old toys and there was this shell tiara in the toys.

Rye became instantly attached to it. Dana told us that she would wake up and bring Dana the tiara to put it on her and if it fell off she would bring it back.

She wore it to the babysitters and brought it to Stroud with her. It was so cute and such a good story; I wanted to show a picture of Rye and her tiara!

Day 125: OK State Fair (9/24)

I love Fall! I love the Oklahoma State Fair!

Last night we went to the Fair. There are two reasons I love the fair: the food and the crafts! Gavin got to eat his first turkey leg. I didn't think that he would eat it, he really doesn't eat meat often. However, as you can tell, he loved it!!

We left after school and spent most of the night there with my mom and dad.

I could buy every kind of food there but I just stuck with the good old basics: turkey leg, corn on the cob and elephant ear!

Gavin got a horse pillow pet! I love those things and there is an entertaining story that goes along with it.

Emily: "I think Gavin is getting tired. I wish we had a pillow pet."
Rennie: "He doesn't need a pillow pet, just a regular pillow."
Mom: "I think they sell the pillow pets here. I am sure they have a booth."
Emily: "Oh, that would be neat."
Rennie: "They don't sell pillow pets at the fair."
Emily: "Then if we see a booth, Gavin is getting a pillow pet."
Rennie: "Fine but they don't sell pillow pets at the fair."

The very next building we walk into was the only booth at the entire State Fair that sold pillow pets!! My mom and I laughed so hard and Rennie grudingly bought Gavin a pillow pet, but he got to pick the animal!

Day 124: The Signs of Halloween (9/23)

At the front of Target, they have all their Halloween decorations at the front of the store.

Gavin didn't like this wig on his head, but it was too cute to not take a picture. We did find a costume for Gavin but I won't tell until Halloween!

Day 123: New Furiture (9/22)

Again, Mathis Brothers lay-away is amazing. The love seat and sleeper sofa that we put on lay-away for the new house.

I love that we are getting a sleeper sofa. I feel all grown up!!

Day 122: Another Day in the Car (9/21)

Another day, another dollar. Gavin reading on the way home from OKC today. This drive is wearing me out already and we aren't even in October yet!

Day 121: Color Accents for the House (9/20)

Today after school, I decided to window shop for a bit. I found this store call Kirlands that had some really nice stuff for reasonable prices.

I found this piece and really enjoyed the colors on it. I thought I could use it to accessorize my living room. However, when I should Rennie he said, "That is one ugly piece!"

Lordy, I hope that we don't have trouble agreeing on decor!

Day 120: My Mom Comes Home (9/19)



Today,  my mom came home from her two week trip with Grandma Schluge. After Grandpa passed away, my grandma wanted to get away for awhile and Mom went with her. They went North to Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.

One of my uncles have a place in Paradise, Michigan. Mom said that it was beautiful (with a name like Paradise, I am sure they have some high standards!) They travel to the shore of the Michigan lake and collect some beautiful stones.

My mom is forever collecting stones. She is so crafty that she is able to make the most boringest (is that a word?) look the most interestingest (again is that a word?) with a few stones or items she has collected.

It's nice to have her home again.
