Organization and Superheros

September is going so fast. Of the next 6 weekends, I think we have something going on 5 of them. Whew! I was just hired by a Madison High School to make them 50 thank you cards designed specifically for them. I am excited to get working on those. Also, we leave for a mini family vacation on Thursday afrer work. Got lots of packing to do for that. I'm sure I will have lots of pictures and stories to share from that. Anyway...onto a few pictures.

Miss Amelia is such a smiley girl!

Lauren wanted to be a superhero...her she is with her cape and mask from Etsy.

I love how she added the pink gloves.

Playing Connect 4, her way.

Finally, this past weekend we actually had no plans, so I made the most of it with a new project. I decided to create an organization station in this space in our kitchen. A place to keep the laptop, outgoing mail, a calendar of all our activities and a place for Lauren to do some homework (yes she is getting a little homework already)

The space before.

And after...I still need to find a pencil cup, mail sorter and a couple boxes for the side storage to hold some things, but it is about 85% done. The bulletin board was from Wal-Mart for $8. Each person has a color code for the calendar so we know who is doing what. Lauren is pink, mommy is green, daddy is orange and the family is black.

We also have to hang that orange wave pendant light. The desk is from Wal-Mart, for $29!

I dressed up these little tins that hold tacks and paper clips.

I would say after all is said and done, this project will cost me under $50!
