I think I am dying

Is anyone else dying from allergies out there?  It has been about a month now.  Symptoms include:

1. Keeping the house boarded up.  No windows or doors are allowed to open.  Ever. 
2. Sneezing 20 times in a minute.  It's my new workout.
3. Inability to do anything.  At any time. 
4. My contacts have been laid to rest.  Glasses are en vogue!
5. Wet compresses on my face at night.  Look out baby, I am one hot momma!!

I am ready for this season to be over!!!

A Shopping I Will Go!

Here is my shopping list for the week.  Grayson was very helpful in letting me know what we need. 

Milk and grapes were the first on the list (that was what was cut off).

That was followed by cheese, mushrooms, turkey meat, hamburgers, pickles, catsup, mac and cheese, pop (the cereal if you're wondering), and popcorn. 

What can I say?  We eat healthy around here!!  ")

**Sidenote for the Fantastic Falcon award...it is an award from the school that children can earn by completing 10 requirements throughout the year.

Fantastic Falcon

Ahhh, the end of the year awards!  Grayson received his Fantastic Falcon today.  Go Bud!
(There are a few random pics trying to keep some other kiddos entertained until the assembly started...)

Our first dance recital

Does anyone remember their first dance recital?  I have some vague memories of mine but the picture that came from that day is one of my favorites! (I was going to upload it but alas, it is not easily found!)

Here is the budding ballerina pre-recital:

Some of her tricky dance moves:

And finally, post-dance with our wonderful teacher, Heidi.  (She really has the patience of Job.)

A few decorations later...

It's finally coming together!

After living here for almost a year and a half, I am proud to announce that I am satisfied with one room in the house!   

Before:

A few decorations later and I am much happier!

Next on the list for this room is hardwood flooring (that will hopefully be next year's tax return) and a baby grand (that will be a little longer in coming.....)
