This is Kinsey in her very first three-legged race; pulling up last... : ). It was really cute!!

Freak Out

Kinsey: "Mom, give me that book."
Me: "No, I need it."
Kinsey: "NO, I NEED it. You have to share, that is what friends do. If you don't give it to me I'll freak out."
Me: "You'll what?"
Kinsey, with major attitude: "I'll freak out. Don't you know what that means??"

hmm... I guess she told me. I had to write this down b/c this is the first time she has used the phrase "freak out"-

Decision...finally

If anyone cares and although it was against popular vote, I went with the Estonia rug. I'm really excited. I think my dark wood floors needed a lighter color- the yellow was a bit too bold for me. Plus I love the blues and purples in this... One more thing is Travis ACTUALLY LIKES this rug. It is a total mind blower that we agreed on something, so I'll take what I can get : ). I thought he would for sure hate this rug.

Rugs

I need help choosing a rug. These are from Ballard Designs; they have tons and I need some help deciding. I need some color in my dining room but I'm not sure what to pick. All of these are pretty neutral but... I don't know; I kind of like to be able to change things around so it's kind of nice to stay neutral. Here a few I like; what do you think? Opinions please!! Or get online and find me one that would look amazing!! I want my house to feel fresh, clean, bright, and cheery... oh and Travis wants it to be elegant. That's why I'm struggling with this front room. We like different things, so I'm trying to do the front room his way and the rest of the house mine. It's really too formal for me but oh well... So something to make it a little bit younger. Hmmm.. I don't know.

Hayden Rug(below) which I like the look but I don't like the really hard wool kinds and that is what this is













Estonia Rug (probably not this but I thought it was kind of cool)
