A nothing Post kind of day!

Heehe I have nothing good to post about today! No insights...tips...not even a good recipe =] But I felt like a blog post anyway HA! Life has been busy! I have a baby shower to attend soon...and this shower is a hard one for me! The parents don't want things really baby and cute....NO pastels....NO baby animals...nadda, zip, zilch. Their theme colors are red, black and white. I found one red, black and white teething ring and a baby monitor (white)....now I'll be going to find a non "baby" bag to wrap it in....I'm thinking something in black and white with red tissue paper. If you've got a moment...pray for this shower for me! It's in the family and inlaws don't get along so great...yet they are trying to host this party together....needless to say there is a lot of stress around this "event". My one hope is that the Momma to be doesn't feel this stress and that HER party goes well! Cuz it's about and for her and the baby after all ;) Sometimes party throwers forget that ;)

The busy season is getting ready for our household too! Birthdays all coming up and the start of the holiday season....we count Halloween the start! I'd like to have a few extra people out this fall and am hoping God provides the means , time and ability to do so!

Around the house- We plan to paint my boy's room this month! It's the last room that needs done right now...well the master bath does too but it's more involved as it's stucco type walls need resurfaced....so it may be years before we decide to tackle that one! The boy's room is kinda a large room so it'll take a few nights to accomplish! I have been price shopping some bedding for them...nothing fancy or theme-ish...just something in a nice blue or brown...they have a jade green carpet and blue brown or even maybe burgundy would "go" with it. I'm hoping to find something that will last through high school...basic and universal...."Big Boy room stuff" The twins are turning 13 in December and their brother is now 11 so I think we're done with cowboys, Transformers and theme rooms! I'll try to take pictures of the redo!

I've gotten out my tub of fall goodies and am having fun placing the beautiful colored decorations about the home! I love doing that sort of thing even if it is work!

Hope everyone has a great week ahead! Lift each other up in prayer and continue to touch those whom God brings into your life!
