10 pictures on the 10th day of the month!
{Document a snapshot of your life & find beauty among the ordinary things in your day!}

 I love this weather! I really do!

I saw this meme & it totally cracked me up...it's so true!

I got new pens for correcting!!! I LOVE these pens!

They are perfect for grading & also writing things in my planner!

After school, I headed to pick up Luke...the trees are starting to change!

 Bright blue skies & trees slowly changing colors...Fall in California!

Then Luke and I headed to our favorite place...Target!

After Target, Luke and I went shopping for bedroom furniture for his room. He is still in his crib & we had a crib tent on it...but it broke. He is 3 now...we are WAY overdue for him to be in a big boy bed.

We went to a few stores, but Pottery Barn Kids was having a sale with an extra 20% off & I got him THIS bed (its the one in the background)

I also got him THIS matching dresser because currently his crib/dresser is white and I am switching to wood for his bed.

Luke LOVED playing with this wooden construction set. He played with it for almost 30 minutes! I had to literally drag him out of the store.

 His new furniture should arrive in 1-2 weeks. He is so excited for his new bed!

Then it was time to pick up the girls from school. About a month ago, I noticed this cute little pop up library that was put in on the corner of a street in our neighborhood. It's a Little Free Library!

Info on them HERE

I have been wanting to get some books from it, so we finally stopped! You borrow books & then return them. You can add your own books to the Library. SO fun!! 

I got 3 books from this library. 

For the girls I borrowed Ralph S. Mouse and for myself I borrowed Glitter and Glue & Reconstructing Amelia.

Has anyone read either of these books? They look good!

 Once the girls were home, it was homework time!

Claire is working on her thankful Turkey feathers.

She is thankful for God & Jesus and also Grammy & her family. 

So sweet.

She gets to decorate the feathers & then give a speech on them. 

 Our annual family photos are this week, so I laid out the outfits. I always lay them out to make sure everything flows together. I don't want to be too mathcy-matchy, but I want them to coordinate. After a few swaps here & there, this is what I ended up with for our final outfits:

 Family photos....stressful, but worth it :)

 Then it was time to get dinner ready. Because of the chilly weather, I was all about making comfort food....homemade spaghetti sauce. I add fresh mushrooms & fresh basil to my sauce. YUM.

 Kate had her last soccer practice on Tuesday night! I won't miss taking her to practice since it is from 6-7 and right in the middle of dinner & getting ready for bed (our kids are in bed around 7:30/8, so late soccer practice has not been my favorite)

 And, yes...that is a glass of wine and a leftover Reeses PB cup from Halloween (favorite candy!!) Yes, I had them in bed...that's how I roll. Don't judge ;)

So, there you have it! My 10 on 10 on November 10th!

 Hope you are all having a great week!

Last week was our Spring Break, also known as "Wedding Recovery Week"
We didn't have any big plans over Spring Break because I knew that we would be exhausted from all the wedding festivities. I can't tell you how glad I was that we had nothing planned....I was so tired, that we didn't even leave the house until Wednesday!!

Can I tell you how nice it was to just lounge around at home?
On Monday we stayed in our pj's all day long.
The weather was gorgeous, so we hung out in the backyard enjoying the sunshine and painting.
I pretty much drank coffee and Diet Coke all day long because I was so tired.
Then I had a mental breakdown on Monday night. Sorry about that Kevin. Yikes.

Tuesday was another pajama day (I told you it was a lazy break)

We made The Pioneer Woman's Maple Pecan Scones. Claire is really starting to be helpful in the kitchen.

The scone recipe is in her cookbook, this is what they looked like before I put on the amazing maple icing. YUM!

Wednesday we actually got dressed & left the house in the afternoon for a playdate with Maddie & Nicole.
When we got home the girls wanted to go swimming, but it was too cold, so they just played hopscotch inside in their bathing suits.
Thursday we had another playdate at Wendy's house. But I didn't take any pictures!

Friday the girls picked out their own outfits & we spent another day playing outside enjoying the sun.

I am loving Claire's outfit...brown socks with black shoes is stylin!

So, there you have it...our super lazy & unproductive Spring Break!
I had a to-do list that I wanted to get done over Spring Break, like:
clean out closets,
get caught up on laundry,
organize bins of clothes in the garage,
organize our food pantry,
deep clean our house,
do Easter crafts with the girls,
...etc.
Did I get any of it done? NOPE!

We were a little more productive on Saturday when Kevin got the play structure set up from our friends. Gotta love free stuff! We spent a few hours staining the wood & it looks as good as new!
The girls love playing on it. I have a feeling this play structure is going to be the cause of our first ER visit.

Let's end on some randomness:
Here is what the back of my hair looked like for the wedding. I loved it & I didn't take it out until the day after the wedding:

Also for the wedding, I got a shellac manicure. I haven't gotten a manicure in years, but decided to get one for the wedding. Shellac manicures are a new type of manicure & I can't believe how long it has lasted!!
Check it out:

And, I finally picked a winner for my giveaway!

The winner was #53
Congrats, Jessica!
