BUT this week, bigger pictures (per my mom's request)! My house may not be clean because of it, but I did mange to get this post done!
On Friday, I woke up to Lola's sweet little face right next to mine! Did you know that she is the hardest one in the family to wake up?! Ugh, super annoying! Last Friday also marked the day that I would be announced to my school that I am teaching 2nd grade next year and leaving behind all that I have really ever known?! Not going to say too much now, I am almost to he point of excitement and not sadness, but not quite there yet. Stay tuned. I sewed until after midnight making sure the finishing touches were made to my girlfriend, Camille's, baby shower gifts!
Saturday was one busy day. My dad, Lola and I went to a very large retirement community's garage sale! It was nice, but nothing close to where I went with my mother in law last weekend! After the sale, the family headed to Xavier's football game at the Cardinal's stadium! When the hubs said he would take a picture with me, I jumped at the chance {a serious even around here}!! I left about 1/2 way through the 3rd quarter and headed to Camilee's baby shower! Camille is the most beautiful pregnant lady I think I have ever seen and I was so happy to celebrate baby #2 with her. I have been working on some of her gifts for quite awhile now so I was so excited when she opened her presents: horseshoe onsies with the month in the middle, one for each month until she is a year old and swaddle blankets! They did get quite a few ooooh's and ahhhhhhh's! Totally what I was going for ;) Annnnnd, at some point, Candis' OCD self got a hold of my phone and just started deleting. TOO many messages drive her crazy!
If Saturday hasn't been busy enough for you to read about, lemme just tell you that it wasn't over once the shower was. I rushed home to make Lola a little t-shirt dress, using this technique {so easy}! We got to go on the field for the little league pledge. Was super cool to be that close to the action! To see real pictures from that night, click here! It had been awhile since I busted out the big mama camera, was kinda nice! Hanging with a few of the girls from school rocked my socks and of course seeing Grandpa Jerry protecting a sleeping girls ears while the firework show afterwards melts my heart!
My dad has been working on one of his rental houses during this visit - in between and after golfing with his buddies - and on Sunday, I volunteered to help him. We spent way too much time at Lowe's, he has trouble making decisions! But I was able to restock on my paint chip supply! You really never know when you might need one! Even though I spent most of the time cleaning up, I did get a lot of quality time in with my pops. Loved getting to just talk to him.
Monday morning I woke up to Lola with her head covered by my bed's bedskirt?! I thought it was hilarious. I also posted that I had a pair of Joyfolie's Raelynn boots that I wanted to trade and turns out that I found someone to buy them...but I haven't heard from her yet, so, you might be seeing a post soon!
I got some good mail on Tuesday - thought bubble boards from Pick Your Plum! Little ones, big ones, round ones, rectangle ones - very inexpensive and I can't wait to paint them with chalkboard paint!
My favorite part of teaching 8th grade is Romeo and Juliet for so many reasons. It has begun! What has ended is One Tree Hill, it was a sad night on Wednesday. Sounds cheesy, but I really did learn a lot from this show and I am sad that I won't have it to watch anymore.
While at practice Wednesday night, Lola found a puddle by the drinking fountain and made a giant mess! It was so worth letting her to see that smile over and over again!
Ummmm, I needed my oil changed BAD. I have never had my car tell me that before and headed into the dealership after work to get 'er done! My night was crazy busy {surprising I know, we never rest over here}, so when it was all said and done and I was almost home, I snapped a picture of my smiling self, celebrating that fact that it was almost Friday! Woohoo! I got quite a few comments on my bangs, I have to cut those suckers once a week or they are a hottttt mess! Super annoying, but love them when they are freshly cut!
Linking up with Jeannett and my favorite linking party!
Wanna see what we will be up to before next week, follow@ jenni_roseland

OMG all the stuff you made is SO cute!! Awesome job! I would love to learn how to sew!
Super cute pic of you & your hubbie :)
Have you seen the egg garlands made from paint chips? SO cute!
Need my oil changed BAD too! Of course mine takes the most expensive oil so I've been putting it off, but today it has to be done!
Have a great weekend!! :)
Your kids are too precious :)
Jenni you are so crafty!! You make me want to go out and buy a sewing machine:)
Look at you...the best gift giver ever! Hand made stuff is so much better then store bought and you did an amazing job. Love the onesies and the burp cloths! I miss One Tree Hill already:( How awesome that I can finally see this stuff as it's happening instead of weeks later.
Love love love the onsies you made, they are too perfect! I wish I had half your sewing skills, you should consider opening a shop! I am expecting our first on Labor day & just found our recently its a little girl...she totally needs those. :) Also, if you have any other Joyfolies you decide to sell down the road, I would totally be interested, the soft-soled are so hard to come by these days.
