CUTEST STORE EVER!

Moose

With the weather changing, the moose have been making themselves more known.  We have had a crazy amount of moose in our yard and neighborhood lately.  This morning we saw a moose as we headed out of our neighborhood.  This afternoon Heyward started going CRAZY.  I go outside and there were the twin moose back.  They made their way down Woodward St and then into our yard.  Once in our yard, they ate my purple flowers.  They then discovered the carved pumpkin.  Not only did they eat half of it but they were also on my porch.......

What was left of my flowers...

What was left of Joe's pumpkin.  Note the moose footprints in my flower bed.  Hopefully their weight didn't mess up my tulip bulbs....

Picture Recap

Got my hair done yesterday!  Had to cover up the white hair with more blonde!

Breakfast this morning at the Southside Gril.  DELICIOUS.  We only discovered this place over the summer.

While Joe was gone, Mac had "homework."

I look like I could contact aliens....

There have been so many moose around lately.

Multitasking this morning.  Helping Nora with tummy time.  Playing with trains with Mac.

Joe and the kids waiting for MoeMoe to get here yesterday

Still waiting for MoeMoe to get here.

Some sweet chubby baby snuggle time

Soccer

Mac is back to doing soccer on Thursdays for 45 minutes.  He is actually doing much better and is actually listening to his coach.  Here are some pictures from his practice the other week......sorry for the blurriness.  3 year olds don't stay still.

Nora's Room

We finished hanging up stuff in Nora's room today and I figured that I would share it with yall!

Morgan's art came in today and that is what prompted us to finish putting stuff up on Nora's walls.  LOVE it!

Here is the view from Nora's door.  

Nora's crib.  This saw some things put up on the walls.  

The quilt on the blanket of the chair is also from Alaska Picker.  So is the little quilt over the arm, it is a doll blanket.  The curtains were made by our family friend Beth.  The wall clock and plate came from Alaska Picker.  

Joe built the cabinet (how awesome is my husbeast?!).    

Those again are my vintage dresses from when I was a baby.  The actual changing table is old family furniture that actually has a mirror to go with it.  There is a silver platter that holds the wipes, sanitizer, lotion, and diaper cream.  On the side of the wall is a vintage basket turned on it's side that holds diapers.  

Mary bought the side table (which is a light pink) and the milk glass lamp.  The little rabbit was mine when I was little. 

A painting by Joe's grandmother.  One of Nora's birth announcements.  A vintage baby dress of mine.  A picture from Nora's newborn photo shoot. Nora's crib blanket is from Pottery Barn Kids and is from their Harper line.  It is monogrammed with her name.  The crib rail guard cover came from my friend Olivia's Etsy store.  The vintage window has a pink shade to it and it came from my favorite antique store, Alaska Picker.

Mary bought the mirror which has a light pink shade to it.  Mac made the bunny art and the finger print tree art.  The floral print came from Alaska Picker.  I also got the old school Bingo turner from Alaska Picker.  The numbers outside of the turner are Nora's birthday (6, 1, 14).  There are vintage alphabet blocks inside the glass thing.

Up close of the dresser top.  The art that Morgan made.  A random print that I found online.  My first ballet shoes in the glass dome.  There is a teacup set.  Vintage girl books from Alaska Picker.  And last is my glass shoe that has my baby information on the bottom (with my name totally spelled wrong).  

Welcome to Nora Land!!!!!!

Pictures

So once again I have been a little lazy in my posting.  Every time that I post I think about the fact that I need to do a better job.

Nora had a great time playing on her floor gym.  Heyward thoroughly enjoyed sitting next to her!

Peekaboo!  This was the carseat cover that we used with Mac but it doesn't quite seem to work.  We ordered a Carseat Canopy set this weekend so that she might be kept warm without it landing on her face.

We got an awesome box in the mail the other day from Mary.  Nora got bows which Joe helped to model.  Dork. 

I got some spooning action with my girl yesterday and she has a crazy good grip.  I love that chunky little hand. 

We came home the other day to twin moose in the yard across the street.  We were slightly nervous that the mama was nearby and then we would be in danger but we didn't see her!  That is probably the best thing because the elementary street down the room was getting out for the day. 

More bow modeling.  

We have had an obscene amount of rain lately.  A parking lot near our favorite coffee place doesn't apparently drain very well.

I also spent some time this weekend organizing my nail polish stuff.  I LOVE Essie polish.  This isn't all I own but the colors made me quite happy. 

My kids play together so well and it is awesome. 

snuggles with my Chunk!

At my Target run today, I found this skeleton thing for like $4.  Definitely came home with me.
