today...

today was emma's first day of school for the summer session but technically her first day of actual pre-school...MOMENTOUS DAY!!!!! So proud of her!! it is a definite adjustment for her, as any child who is adjusting from a daycare setting to a more structured school setting, but she did well today :-).WOOO!!!

So taitum and I had a day...all day she kept saying "mmmmmA!!!" aka EMMA EMMA EMMA...threw in the "Consuming Pinterest" dinner around 11, started sanding my desk and then realized I had the wrong sanding disks (yeah i know...rookie mistake hahaha...note: make sure you are buying the VELCRO disks and not the STICKY one's hahaha or be smart ask the Lowe's rep hahaha). so the sanding will continue tomorrow and the desk will be DONE!!! I AM SO EXCITED TO SHOW YOU ALL!!

I finally situated the entryway and am going to be working on organzing/purging the closets WHICH I am pretty excited about!!! We have a WILD ANIMAL PARK date with a bunch of amazing people thursday,  taitum turns the O-N-E on Friday and Noni and Nona have a very amazing 65th wedding anniversary on Saturday...we have a BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY for miss taitum next weekend and dad gets home...PHEW....My entryway will be totally finished this week and I am SO EXCITED to finally not have to worry about it every time i walk in the door haha

OOOOOH I ALMOST FORGOT!!! ok so...a piece of tempered glass for my kitchen table (below) = almost $300...no thank you...a piece of plywood = almost $30...better, but no thank you...a flat, hollow door = $25...better buuuuuut no thank you...3 shelves from the As-Is section at Ikea = $6...YES PLEASE!!! It works for now until a) i find a new piece for the kitchen table :( or b) I find a cheaper quote for a piece of glass haha...
