Home Decor

May not look like much, but these bathroom shelves have housed 1) absolutely nothing and then 2) a 3 year expired bottle of Children's Motrin and Children's Claritin for the past 8 years. I finally decided to spruce them up a little bit and give the bathroom a nicer feel. We already had the vase with Christian's lovely origami rose and the clog from the Netherlands and the rest was Target. I also picked up a $3 banner at Target that I strung up in the kitchen for the season. haha

Kids were like "what's WC?" haha. Surprisingly, they loved the new decor a lot. I didn't know if they'd notice much or care. 

I enjoy the photos sent from school (even if they are poorly lit :). Olin's been working on this author report with Claira and Areen for a couple of weeks and could not contain his excitement at the anticipation of presenting the report. He asked me to put "set out black outfit" on my to do list so that he wouldn't forget to wear all black, and he asked if he could go to bed early the night before so that he could get good sleep for the big presentation. He presented Brandon Mull (Spirit Animals, and other books) and Trenton Lee Stewart (Mysterious Benedict Society). He said it went better than practice!
