WOW I had five days off and I swear they flew.

Where did they go? Who knows. The hubby left yesterday for two weeks. He will be in Tokyo for a week and then traveling to China.

So it's me and my boys.

Love my boys.

Yesterday we spent our day at the zoo and then we went to one of our favorite places Barnes and Noble. Got a great 2010 cal for my desk at work that looks like a vintage ledger... so cool. Then we took a detour to Pet Land to buy a few doggie Christmas gifts, off to Home Goods for some gift bags that were needed and then to McDs for some ice cream.

Then finally home for little relax time, well not really as dinner had to be made, some gifts were wrapped, washing is in the works and cards are being addressed.

I hope you all have a wonderful week. Don't forget to get a move on with the decorating as Christmas is just around the corner ya'll.

I hope you are all enjoying this time of year.

PEACE

Thanksgiving came and went and it was a wonderful time with my mom and dad and a few other family members and friends.

I hope you all ate a bunch and do save yourself as Christmas is right around the corner.

Speaking of corners, here are a few other little corners decorated in my home. I found a two more vintage bottle brush trees and a cute little gold glittered santa booy that I will have to show you soon. I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend.

the last of my fall decor

honestly this is the one and only last trace of fall decor that graces this house....

don't think I will be putting this away any time soon.
I love Fall as much as I do Spring so I would love to hold on to it a little bit longer.

long winters are kind of hard for me. of course, some winter days are beautiful and maybe this year I will try to spend a few more days outside not being scared of the cold....

I just wanted to write and wish you all a BLESSED THANKSGIVING...

have I told you recently that I am truly blessed.

GOD KNOWS my HEART!

I AM TRULY BLESSED and for that I am 100% grateful.

Peace to you

a bit more


so this Sat for the first time in a while I did not have to run to work or have to be at any soccer games.

what were we to do with all our free time.

well this is what I did, other then just the usual cleaning, I got to do a bit more decorating.

this Santa is my fav. I got that in MO years ago.

this cute tree was a Hallmark buy many years ago as well. it's one of my favs as I always take it out and place it in a special place. it has little silver bells attached so when a little bit of wind hits it you can hear them jingle.

the holly wreath bought in Old St. Charles, MO at the Flower Petlar, if you ever are in MO you need to go there. they have wonderful wreaths.

well that is a bit more I wanted to share. it's all coming out slowly.

stay tuned for more.



soccer season comes to end



outdoor soccer if finally over for my two boys, but the saga continues.

Indoor soccer, yes, indoor soccer.

Thank God that my older child has a break of soccer till January.

The Wheaton Antique market is today, I am going to try and run to go for just an hour as I have to go to Indiana and see my mother in law this morning.

Look at this wonderful farm I spied with my little eye in St. Charles, IL.
BEAUTIFUL...

Well by looking at the clock here it's 7:25 and I am still in my p.j.s and all is quiet upstairs.. I think the anqtique market will have to wait till next month.
