Bunk Beds and Flower Pots

Summer is here! But there is no rest for the weary. There is much to be done! This past weekend Scottie, Henry and I went to Conway for a visit with Scottie's younger sister and her family. Jamie and her husband, Rodney, went to Ouachita, too, and we have all been friends for a lot of years. They just updated their boys' rooms so we bought their bunk beds for Henry's room. We have wanted to put bunk beds in his room for a long time. He has had a double bed in there (his crib converted into), but it took up way too much room. Scottie, Andy and Kevin put the beds up after church on Sunday. I spent Sunday and Monday rearranging a cleaning out his room. Here is the new room:

We kept the cowboy theme and Jamie helped me find bedding cheap and some really cute cowboy sheets at Target.

Henry loves his new room! He's been sleeping on the bottom bunk and sits on the top to watch TV.

Those of you familiar with our couch will be glad to know that while in Conway, I ordered a new leather sofa from Cajun Brothers Furniture. Scottie's cousin is married to one of the owners and we usually always purchase our furniture there. The torn up, green couch will soon be a distant memory replaced by: We are so excited to get a new couch!! We bought our old couch at Cajun Brothers and it lasted for 12 years. But it was time for an upgrade!! Jamie helped me pick it out. She was such a huge help to me over the weekend - picking out bedding and a couch. Interior decorating is her thing and she is dang good at it!!

On Tuesday my mom met Henry and I at Chick-fil-A for lunch then we ventured to Lowe's to buy flowers for pots in front of my house. My mom has an eye for flowers and knows better than I what looks good and what will grow where. We (mostly she) planted them when we got back to the house.

I planted this hanging basket while mom worked on the pots. I'm not sure what Henry was working on, but when we got the water hose out, eveyone and everything got wet!

A new flag

These lilies are so beautiful and have come up all on their own. I don't ever remember them growing there before!
