<span style="font-size: large;">If you've been reading this blog, then you know I really don't like traditional school photos. Most years I take them myself. One year Amanda of <a href="http://www.pieintheskyphotography.com/">Pie In The Sky Photography</a></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Helped us out. This year I had a sweet young gal do them, Taylor of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RaeTaylorphotography">RaeTaylor Photography</a></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to take some of my own while we were out at the shoot, but guess what? I forgot MY CAMERA!!!</span> <span style="font-size: large;">So until I get the real ones to share with you, here are some from my iPhone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">PS-Celeste HATED the look I planned for her, 50's pin up-ish. She removed the red lipstick after about 5 minutes</span> <span style="font-size: large;">and was not fond of the hair either. {I thinks she's nuts and looked pretty cute!}. Sophie liked her Audry Hepburn/Jackie O look, Thank goodness!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here are Sophie's 5th grade and Celeste's 10th grade pictures {sort of}:</span></div>

We took tours of the liberty bell and the rooms where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written and signed.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Our tour guide was both funny and knowledgeable and it made for a fun experience.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Lobster dinner in VA. What's with the tiny fork for Tony's Shrek hands??</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The last bit of our tour took us to Tennessee to visit my Aunt and Uncle, cousin and her family, and my Granny. I have no picture from this, and can't say that it was "fun" as my Granny has had health set backs and is in a nursing home. She did not seem to comprehend who I was and what was going on. That visit was hard, but we did have a nice dinner after, and I loved visiting with my family. My cousin and her kiddos have got to be the cutest humans on the planet! {not that I am partial, just stating facts!} </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My whirl wind trip ended with me flying home from Nashville, back to real life, the kiddos and puppies....Oh yes, we now have two new family members, Sammie and Korra, our American Bulldog pups!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">New York City in one word, AMAZING!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everything about this stop was just that. Our room in Brooklyn had an amazing view of Manhattan, the bus tour was amazing, the weather was amazing. The food? You guessed it, AMAZING!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We arrived in Brooklyn late afternoon, checked into our hotel, and walked around Brooklyn. We ate dinner at a little hole in the wall place, retired to our room early to enjoy the view and rest up for our big day. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Day two was jammed packed with a ferry tour and 3 bus tours. {Thanks to my friend, Debbie, for the suggestion} We got a screaming deal at less than $60 each. This included the ferry tour, 5 bus tours, and museum passes. We did not have time to do all that, but sure got our moneys worth anyway. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Window shopping in So-ho. Semi-disappointing as it was less artsy and more strip mall-y than I hoped.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bo<span style="font-size: large;">y</span> it's been a long time since I've blogged! I had so much to share with our busiest Softball season ever (Celeste pitched in the state tourney and got the "r<span style="font-size: large;">o</span>okie of the year aw<span style="font-size: large;">ard" for her first season on Varsity. Sophie is following in sissy's footsteps and pitched a game as well). With 100<span style="font-size: large;">s of pictures to go through, that post never happened...</span></span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">And a</span>s many of you know, Tony<span style="font-size: large;">'s work has kept him out of town more this year than he has been home! It's been hard at times, but we are thankful for the work.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">And thankful to take advantage of the travel opportunities when we ca<span style="font-size: large;">n! Tony ha<span style="font-size: large;">d been in Erie, PA for over a month when I flew out to take a whirl wind East Coast tour with him.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last Saturday was Celeste's <span style="font-size: large;">first</span> high school Sadie's dance</span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">{not a dance with our pup Sadie, but a girl<span style="font-size: large;">-</span>asks<span style="font-size: large;">-</span>boy Sadie Hawkins dance}</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometime between when I was in high school, and my children being in high school, asking someone to a dance has changed! We j<span style="font-size: large;">us</span>t got "wanna go to prom?" and replied "ok". Now the asking is an event unto itself<span style="font-size: large;">!</span> Celeste has been asked both time (homecoming, winter formal) with flower <span style="font-size: large;">bouquets</span>. Some people get super creative with posters, serenades, treasure hunts, etc. We figured her guy would not want flowers, so we went with food:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">She <span style="font-size: large;">p<span style="font-size: large;">re</span>-decorated</span> a box, and I went to Oregano's to grab the pizza and delivered it to her at school. I was not permitted to stay and take pictures of her asking, of course. I <span style="font-size: large;">fe<span style="font-size: large;">el</span> lucky she posed for this one!</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">{<span style="font-size: large;">And h</span>e said yes, Duh!} </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am kicking myself for not getting any pictures of Celeste with her date when I dropped them off. I did get these few of Celeste before we left home. I would have liked more, but it was raining! </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have never been a good decorator. My home has always been a hodge podge of random furniture, <span style="font-size: large;">pictures hung on the walls wherever I had space, and tons of "stuff" that tends to <span style="font-size: large;">accumulate</span> when you've got six people and been in your home 16 years!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">The only room that is even decorated is <a href="http://www.mamamuniz.blogspot.com/2011/10/decorated.html">Celeste/Sophie's room</a> also seen <a href="http://www.mamamuniz.blogspot.com/2011/06/celeste-and-sophies-room.html">here.</a> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am slowly figuring out my "style" (thanks mostly to Pinterest!) and starting to get some are<span style="font-size: large;">as</span> that I would actually say are intentionally<span style="font-size: large;"> decorated</span></span>.<span style="font-size: large;"> I have tons more ideas that will take more time, money, and energy<span style="font-size: large;"> than I currently have, but I feel like I have an over-all idea of what I want <span style="font-size: large;">my home to look and feel like.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I love all the painted furniture ideas I see on Pinterest. As my friend <a href="http://verytrulyme.blogspot.com/">Lindsey</a></span> <span style="font-size: large;">said "I have decided that everything, EVERYTHING looks better painted".

I did research on all my Pins about painting laminate furniture and painting without sanding and came up with a plan!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I got them all at Ace Hardware. Wood filler to fill in the old hardware holes, primer, "Aura" paint by Ben Moore {color-black bean soup} and the top coat. I deviated from most of the tutorials on the primer and top coat and chose products that are water washable {and less fumy/toxic}</span>. <span style="font-size: large;">We will have to see how they hold up. I also purchased the new drawer pulls at Ace, 75% off for $1.75 each. They match our bathroom fixtures which are all oil rubbed bronze as well.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My research said that the Purdy paintbrush is a must, and after using it, I totally agree. It applies the primer and paint so smoothly! The tack cloth is for removing dust from sanding, and I used the foam roller on all the larger surfaces.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was a long process, mostly due to long wait times, but here goes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First, I removed the old hardware and cleaned it really well. Once it was clean, I filled in the holes with wood filler:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I left the whole thing alone for a day. Then came the only, minimal sanding. We sanded the puttied areas and a few other areas that were not level {water damage, peeling veneer} and wiped it down with the tack cloth. Then I applied the first coat of primer:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sophie's definitely bitten by the sewing bug! She asks to sew quite often. She has also really enjoyed baking lately, and has twice searched the internet for recipes and made them all on her own!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So when I saw some really cute baking themed fabric at my fabulous place of work, <a href="http://scrapbooks-etc.com/">ETC</a> I had to get them for her. For the following projects I purchased 1/4 yard of 3 cute fabrics. I combined this with about a yard of yellow fabric and a teal fat quarter I had at home. This was enough to make all our projects!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First, I made her apron at a girls late night at my friend Denise's home. It turned out pretty cute even considering I had no pattern and my choice of beverage that night was a soy chai latte with Bailey's</span> (if you haven't tried it, it almost had an eggnog flavor with the Bailey's and was toooo good!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, here is the apron:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted Sophie to be able to sew some projects with the left over fabric. We decided on towels and hot pads. After a trip to JoAnn's (for "Insul-Bright" and bias tape) and Target (for cute kitchen towels) we got started. The towel tutorial we found on, you guessed it, Pinterest. It has you cut the towels in half to make 2 from each, which we forgot to do on the first one {center of the photo}. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We used no pattern for the hotpads but it is just a back fabric, batting, "Insul-Bright" and top fabric quilted together. The edges are then incased in double fold bias tape. That's it!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">...is say goodbye to this girl:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">(This really does not seem very long ago!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been feeling such a range of emotions, at the very top is PROUD. I am so dang proud of this girl for setting such a high goal and reaching it!</span> <span style="font-size: large;">I am also excited, amazed, nervous, a little envious, and also quite sad. I am mostly sad that this young lady will no longer be a part of my daily life, and I feel a hole where her presence is missed. I feel sad that when she next comes home she will be more like a guest in our home, and that feels weird.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is also very rewarding to see how amazingly well adjusted and independent she is!</span> <span style="font-size: large;">It is such an affirmation of choices</span> <span style="font-size: large;">we made in parenting. Now, I don't want to get all Time Magazine, "Are you mom enough" on you, but I made some socially tough choices in raising my children {extended breast feeding, family bed, attachment parenting, etc.}. I got a lot of comments from "well meaning" family and friends about these choices. Mainly, the view that if I parent this way, I would raise clingy, dependent children. I knew in my heart that this was not true, and I remember saying to Tony that we are doing the right thing {for OUR children} and that it may not show now, but just wait! Sure enough, here is a young lady ready for anything life has to offer. She is so mature and level-headed, I hardly worry about her. Maybe these "well meaning" people should have warned me that <u><i>I</i></u></span> <span style="font-size: large;">would become attached, as I am having a harder time with this than Alexa is!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">So, enough about me, here are some pictures of Alexa's new home:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been doing quite a few sewing projects for Alexa and her big move, as I mentioned <a href="http://www.mamamuniz.blogspot.com/2012/07/unfinished-projects.html">here </a></span>. <span style="font-size: large;">I made a quilt, all on my own, for the first time. It turned out pretty good! I bought the fabrics almost two years ago, along with a pattern for a queen size for Alexa's room. That all went out the window since it took me so long to make! I found a tutorial online and made a twin size for her to take to her dorm.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was a really easy pattern for zig zags/chevrons that used all square cuts, no triangles! I think it is so striking on the black background.</span></div>

The whole summer series was travel items. Alexa chose the Eiffel tower and purple fabrics for hers. (Sorry about the poor pictures.
