So yes, our fourth of July was a bit of a Saturday kind of day but that’s good since the husband has been working at least 60 hours a week. Yes I said at least. So it was very nice to just sit & do nothing. But the third of July? That was a different story, we spent the whole day at the beach with my husband’s side of the family. Which was filled with yummy food, jumping over waves & pranks. Yes we might have thrown seaweed at each other, scared each other with wrapping seaweed around each other…what? It’s nice to act like your 12 sometimes, even while holding your two year old on your hip. By the way, Micah absolutely loved when we would over exaggerate the waves that came crashing at us. And didn’t mind at all when a wave would smack him right in the face. Man it is nice to have such a laid back kid.

Me & Micah got a bit red even with 5 separate applications of sunblock. I kept forgetting my back & forehead…yes just my forehead is sunburn because of my giant sunglasses. Micah just has red cheeks & nose, the rest of him is TAN. You should have seen him once I stripped him down for the ride home. All our family couldn’t help looking at the contrast from his back to butt, a bit hilarious since I can burn after 20 minutes in the sun.

We just wanted to say hello! Micah was in a “cheese” mood, meaning he wanted to take pictures & videos. Don’t mind our mango room, we haven’t done ANYTHING to this room since we’ve moved in. It’s quite sad LOL Oh and after pointing to his nose he quietly says no (you can’t hear it) meaning he doesn’t want to point to body parts.

This dresser is $50

This dresser is $40

Any of these would look so slick with paint, new handles & a bit of creativity. Do you notice a trend? Yes, they are all dressers. We don’t have one but we also don’t have a truck to haul a heavy dresser in. Which one could you envision as one hot piece of furniture once it gets a makeover? Can anyone guess which one I would pick if it could just *poof* into my house?

Next up is an adorable foot stool, it’s so tiny & adorable. Micah has claimed this piece as his. He likes putting his bowl of fruit on it, having a seat next to it & munching the day away. I bought this at a very lame garage sale, the home the garage sale was being held at looked so ridiculously expensive. And the garage was FULL of antiques, NICE ones but they weren’t even considering selling them….oooookkkkk then close your garage door? Well I picked this little guy up and asked the couple how much, you know since nothing at all was priced. Well the woman looks at her husband, he shrugs & then she tells me “Well that’s really old…” Insert me just smiling, blinking & waiting patiently. “Well I guess I could sell it for…..$8? That’s REALLY cheap because it’s a REALLLLLY old piece, it’s french!” And then I say “Well I was thinking more like $4, what do you think?” She looks insulted & looks at her husband. Her husband’s reaction? Well he whispers “TAKE the $4 and get rid of it or it’s going to sit in our garage for another 2 years if you don’t!!! Plus that rope stuff is broken!!” Where she reacts “Well SOME people LIKE that look” & huffs. I of course butt in and tell her that I’m planning to rip the woven pieces off anyways since it isn’t original to the stool. She huffs “How about $5?”, I pull a fiver out of my wallet & run out of there as fast as possible!! I just can’t help being a bit of a butthead sometimes, it was all in good bargaining fun though.

Alright now here is the million dollar question….would you paint, stain or just leave these pieces be?! Fabric? Color, patterns, etc? Tell me what you envision for these pieces? COMMENT & let me know! Or @ me on twitter! I’d love to hear what you would like seen done to these pieces!

I’m sharing this post on Apron Thrift Girl’s Thrift Share Monday…even though I didn’t post on Monday….

He loves pulling up his vintage yellow chair up to the counter & helping. And I love that he’ll hopefully learn to love food and cooking. Just this morning he helped me make banana bread!

Anyone else have their child(ren) help in the kitchen on a regular basis?

I really hope this isn’t a preview of what this year’s hurricane season is going to be like here in Houston.
