Was It Just Me...

One morning my daughter was heading out the door for school when I noticed she was wearing an Abercrombie sweatshirt that I could have sworn she wore in the beginning of the week. Not wanting her to make a "major" fashion faux pas in the eyes of middle schoolers, I asked her if she had already worn that sweatshirt at the beginning of the week. Looking a little puzzled, she paused for a second and then gave me the "eye roll" and proceeded to the school bus.

After school that day, I was talking with my daughter and a few of her friends and I told them about how when I was in junior high, I kept a "Clothing Journal" of what I wore each day because there was an "unwritten rule" that you couldn't wear the same thing twice in a two week period. Boy, did they laugh...and laugh... and laugh!!! Quickly I told them (trying not to look to silly) that I wasn't the only one, I had friends that did it too.

My daughter and her friends get a big laugh whenever the "Clothing Journal" is mentioned. So was it just me or did anyone else keep a "Clothing Journal" in junior high ?

(I almost told them about "The Preppy Handbook" that we lived by in junior high and high school but figured they would have gone through the roof. I'll save that story for another day.)

~happy fall~

Today is the first day that it actually feels like fall has arrived. There's a nice crisp breeze, the leaves are falling off the trees and the pumpkin patches are beginning to open. We visited a little corner pumpkin stand by our house today. The boys selected a few pumpkins and I picked up a few mums.

We couldn't leave without a few of these delicious treats.

Enjoy the season.

Bedroom Tour

The Mrs. is hosting a house tour, with children's bedrooms being the tour today. I thought I'd share a few photos of my son's room with you but the computer is not cooperating. It wouldn't allow me to upload anymore photos. Here's a few of his bed.

I wish I could say this next photo is of a bedroom in my home, but unfortunately it isn't. Just an inspirational photo I found and fell in love with. My son wants curtains like these added to his bunk bed so I am hoping that this photo will give me the push I need to get started.

I couldn't do a post of children's rooms without showing this fabulous photo. Isn't it adorable and every little boys dream bedroom? How's this for a little inspiration?!!!

Hope you enjoyed!!!
