Friday night

Right now Dylan and I are hanging out upstairs in our bedroom....we got our new bedroom set last week....and wow we really like it....Collin made a comment yesterday that it finally feels like a bedroom....we still are waiting to get the new windows installed in the bedroom and still need to order new window treatments...but wow it is just turning into such a enjoyable room to hang out in.....I have been going back and fourth on what to do with the bedding....but we have decided to stick with the clean crisp look of a white down comforter....I also bought a beautiful cable knit dark brown Ralph Lauren blanket to flank the bottom of the bed.....I also purchased the most beautiful white pillows that are embroidered with fire flies and birds.....they are whimsical and yet so beautiful in detail and yet kind of simple...they add just the right amount of color to balance out the bedding....since the bedroom set has such large massive heavy and formal pieces I wanted to lighten the mood with simple bedding...I am really quite pleased

Scary news....our next door neighbors came over yesterday to inform us that they have had someone snooping around their home the last 3 nights and Wednesday night someone actually came in their home.........how scary is that..especially since I am home alone with Dylan quite a bit and always leave windows and the back door open for the dogs to go in and out....so tonight...everything is locked and Dylan and I are barricaded in the upstairs bedroom...we enlisted Jackson to sleep in the bedroom tonight....he is a great barker so at the very least I will have a little warning....it is kind of scary being up here in the bedroom...because if someone decided to break in downstairs I would never hear them until they were right in front of us...especially with the air conditioner going now.....Collin doesn't really seemed to worried.....I guess not since he will be at the fire station...he reminds me that I have 3 dogs.....we also are wondering if the neighbors are imagining things....since they didn't call the police until the next day...and you would think the police would come through the neighborhood and warn everyone but who knows.....it is probably just as well that we are more careful....I just don't want to be scared....
Dylan has finally made his way to enjoying movies I know we probably shouldn't be proud of this...but we recorded Dr Seuss' Horton Hears a Who......he really loves Horton...it is so fun to watch him giggle as he watches the movie.....our little guy is talking more and more and he understands everything........last night we were taking a bath and I asked Collin to grab the shampoo.....as soon as I did Dylan tried to get out of the bath tub.....he knew exactly what was coming.....
Tomorrow morning as long as no one gets us in our sleep tonight....we are going to head to the farmers market in the morning...then I have 3 open houses for the rest of the day....oh and did I mention I actually am going to get a whole day off on Sunday....
Collin has been training for his triathlon, mowing, working and I think is ready for a break....he has the whole month of September off and I think he is really looking forward to it....well with that until next time.......
