Sometimes Plants Need Haircuts Too!

Someone needs a hair cut!

Ahh, much better!

Now what’s a girl to do with all that extra “hair”? Grow some new plants of course!

Fingers Crossed

Jon left for El Paso this evening. We missed each other by 10 min. He left for the airport at 5:20 and I got home at 5:30. I hate when we miss each other and its that close. :( He was supposed to come back tomorrow night, but now it looks like that are sending him to New Mexico tomorrow. Ugh! I feel bad for him…they called while he was at the airport to let him know about the schedule change…which means he only has 1 set of clothes (since he was planning on coming home  tomorrow). Now it looks like he won’t be home until Thursday, which is when we are supposed to leave for Plano. It looks like he will be back in time for us to leave, but it will be a LONG day for him.

I am hoping that give the job to someone else. We will know for sure tomorrow. Fingers crossed. :)

Weekend Fun: Updated (Test)

*I went back and added the videos in You Tube format to see if they would be better quality. The looked pretty bad in blogger.*

Even though the highs were around 103 all weekend, we managed to spend some of time outside. Friday evening we took Hiro to play at Auditorium Shores and then grabbed dinner from P.Terry’s. We walked over to Butler Park for a picnic with our veggies burgers and lemonade. Jon just built a new computer that we are going to use to play music and videos on our TV in the living room. He wanted to try it out so we watched The Dark Knight on our new DVD player.

Saturday morning Jon had to work so I went to Mozart's for coffee with my good friend Jesse. She just got engaged on Thursday and I am so exited for them! They are planning on getting married next summer. I am sure we will be talking about wedding plans during our 30 minute commute down to class each week in the fall.

Yesterday afternoon when Jon got home we went down to the Greenbelt with our friend Phillip and his dog Woodrow. It was soooo HOT. Even the water was warmer than usual. We got to played around with our new camera. It was fun to have it in the water and not have to worry about it getting splashed.

Here is a couple of videos we took while we were there. They are pretty silly, but I just wanted to test out adding videos to my post.

 

This morning Jon and I slept in…the heat yesterday took it out of us! We made a big Costco and HEB trip, our refrigerator and pantry are stocked! The rest of the day we just spent relaxing in our air conditioned house…on days like today I don’t know what we would do with out it!
I hope everyone had a great weekend! I have a short week of work and then Thursday we are heading to Dallas to celebrate the 4th of July! I can't wait! :)

New Look and Work

I got bored this afternoon and decided to try out a new blog look. What do you think? I’m pretty happy with it…at least for now. :)

This summer we have an intern working with us. She is getting her bachelors in psychology and she had to do a practicum this summer. Things ended up working out and she is shadowing a couple of other lead therapist and myself all summer. It is so wonderful to have a second set of hands during a few of my sessions. It never fails…I will get my kiddo to sit down and be ready to go, only to realize I left their reinforcer, my data sheet or my pen across the room. She has been so helpful and she is getting more comfortable with the kids and their programs. This morning the little guy we were working with mastered a skill that we have been working on for awhile (a very long while). We were so excited!! The intern told me “85% of the time this job is really tough, but then movements like this make all the difficult times worth it”. It’s so true!

Hurray for the weekend…to bad its 106 outside!! I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Show Us Where You Live – Master Bedroom

It’s time for Show Us Where You Live! This week’s feature room is master bedrooms. I didn’t link up last week because I didn’t have a cool bonus room to show. This week, I’m back with pictures from our master bedroom. :)

Welcome to our master bedroom. This is the view from the hallway, going into our room. The door on the right goes to the closet.

Here is the view from the doorway:

From the other side of the room:

And looking towards the door:

So that’s the main stuff, now for some close-ups. Here is a close up of our dresser. The picture frame above it is a Goodwill find for $10! It has some of our favorite engagement pictures. Hopefully one day it will hold pictures of some kiddos. :)

This is a little dish that I picked up at Charming Charlie’s. I have a jewelry box, but I use this dish for items that I wear pretty often. The second picture is a quote frame that I made a few months ago. I wanted something chunky to take up space and I didn’t want to spend any money so I reused an old frame.

This is a close up of my nightstand and the quote above our bed. There is always a book on my nightstand, reading before bed is something I have done almost every night since I was pretty little.

This is our little nook, where Hiro sleeps. The door leads out to the patio. We rarely use the door so I am thinking about making a little reading area out of this nook. Maybe a comfy chair, small table and a lamp…perfect!

That’s our master bedroom. I forgot to get a picture of the mistreatments that I made for the room…you can see pictures and how I did it here. Thanks for stopping by!!

Look What We Got

Remember when I mentioned that I wanted a Flip video recorder? Well my lovely husband did some researching and found this little guy for about the same price.

Not only is it a video recorder, it also takes still photos and has a zoom (something the flip does not have). The one perk that pretty much sold us on this one immediately, was that it is waterproof!!  Since we will probably be filming this little guy quite a bit and he LOVES the water, this is going to be perfect!

 

It just came last night so I haven’t had much time to play with it yet. We are planning on taking out to the Greenbelt this weekend…I am sure I will have some videos to post very soon! :)
