Four in the car

We are heading back to Oklahoma for a super quick visit tomorrow. I'm currently teaching summer school for Southwest so I need to be back in time for my class Tuesday night. I'm so thankful that Mike got a bit of time off; he's going to be able to make this trip with us. It's pretty rare for Mike to be able to go to Wynnewood with us, exceptions being Christmas and Thanksgiving. So this will be a special treat.

Some of you know that my dad's health has been poor for the past couple of months. He's still not doing well. We have recently found out that his kidneys aren't functioning properly, a result of the diabetes that he's been dealing with for the past fifteen years or so. He's also extremely anemic, which is leading to other issues as well. I'm hoping to get a better idea of his condition while I'm home. He's pretty good at making things sound better than they are. He doesn't ever want to worry me.

So, we'll leave tomorrow and will come on back to Bartlett on Tuesday.

Until then...

Fashion Friendly: Closet Makeover!

My husband, the man I dearly love, had a productive day off yesterday. He did a nice little closet makeover for the boys' room. Here is the before picture:


And now the after photos. He added shelves on the sides (see the third photo where there's a stuffed Yoda sitting on top?) and another hanging bar down below. The shelves now store most of the board games and puzzles. The lower hanging bar now holds Alec's clothes so that he can reach them without any help from me. Soooo awesome!



I love our fashion friendly closet!

Good F words

Hey! Not all F words are bad. The best words in the world are family, fun, food, and fabulous! I'm challenging myself to expand my own appreciation of the fabulous F words out there. I'm starting a list of words that I'll eventually write about. Let me know if you think of another fun one.



Family ~ Father ~ Fast ~ Fanatic ~ Fanciest ~ Festive ~ Fanciful ~ Freedom ~ Friday ~ Flower ~ Flagrant ~ Fixable ~ Forceful ~ Forbidden ~ Foray ~ Foppish ~ Fledgling ~ Frappacino ... hmmm... maybe ?
