Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy! He is the ultimate family man, and we are so lucky to have him! The kids always roll their eyes when Daddy says "Let's have family time, no phones." Or "Sooooooo, tell me about your day." But really, we all know how lucky we are to have a Daddy that really cares and would rather spend free time with us than do his own thing. Not that many dads out there that are the same way. Charlotte made us a special dinner of fettuccine alfredo, caesar salad, texas toast, and sparkling grape juice. Charlotte and Nathan also made Daddy the sweetest card. 

 

JFK Museum with Mama and Jen

Crazy that Mama has lived here for 16 years but has never been to the JFK museum! So I planned a day trip for me, Jen, and Mama. We went to lunch downtown at the cutest irish restaurant and then went to the museum. Mom loved it!

 

Chess

 

Grandmother taught them chess when they were little. They have gotten so good! And Nathan especially loves making bets with Daddy and beating him :)

Charlotte's New Room Remodel

While Charlotte was at Pine Cove, I remodeled her room. It was a huge task but she really wanted it done. Auntie Carrie came down the weekend before and helped me and her clean out her room. I swear I couldn't have done this without her help! Charlotte had a lot to get rid of and organized, and Carrie was so sweet to Charlotte in helping her. We already picked out the paint color: Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams. Then we picked out all of the new additions for her room: rug, wall art, new bedding, a few decorative items, and a new dresser that I was so lucky to find on Market Place. I had been searching for one for several weeks. I found this one on Market place for $40! It was in Highland Park so Wayne drove down to pick it up. It was perfect! I ordered new drawer pulls, and I couldn't believe how great it looked.   Everything got delivered the week she was gone. I got started the very next day! It took me all week to finish but when I did, I was so proud. And when Wayne saw it, he couldn't believe how good it looked! The best part was when Charlotte came home. She was SHOCKED! I felt so proud and so happy for her. The only thing she didn't absolutely love was the decorations on her wall shelves. So we went shopping the next day and bought some things to redo it. It was fun to have her be part of that, and she picked out the perfect pieces! I'm happy to say she has kept it clean and picked up!
