flowers in the attic

so the last 48 hours has inspired me to ~~lock my kids {and dogs} in the attic~~ get on the ball with the moving of the playroom to the 3rd floor and the guest room to the first floor.

poor sweet P has an ear infection and loo has a UTI {aka TMI}

after multiple visits to the doc/vet, i dragged girls to vet again because i was convinced george had a dangerous scratch/bite on his face after bravely taking on some rabid animal. so we went in to have said wound examined and get a rabies booster. after the tech and vet had the feisty guy pinned down, it was discovered that the "wound" was in fact, red marker. soooo, that was embarrassing. {insert red-faced emoticon. yeah, you know the one i'm talking about}

here's some inspiration for the attic playroom project, obvs some more realistic than others, as we do not live in a mansion. {despite what many early M.A.S.H. games indicated}

love the authentic wall art here {no source for this image}

and here are some key elements i'd like to tie in to our lil project.

wallpaper - art table - storage baskets - playhouse - beanbag - bookcase - zebra rug - fabric - paint - light {i worship these. WORSHIP.} - print - pillow

just beachy

1. amazon dress 2. ella moss maxi 3. high-low dress 4. bandeau jersey dress 5. resort maxi dress 6. ombre maxi dress 7. bond dress 8. caftan dress

we just barely survived a heat spell in the northeast- the kind of weather when you step out of the shower, you immediately need another one. we all decided we need more dresses for the next heat wave/series of beach parties.

{i'm tempted to buy #8 just to see horseface's reaction if i went all mrs. roper on his ass.}

what. a. weekend.

once again, i find myself short a few ~~thousand~~ brain cells on a monday morning. this past holiday weekend was a "doozie" {as cousin ty would say}

it was mostly about celebrating ~~america~~ mike o. {you may remember this animal from the G party?}

we started the festivities off with a bang at mike's surprise 40th on wednesday night. complete with kareoke and tropical drinks.

which made the next morning's horribles parade that much more horrible.

every year it gets hotter and we seem to get more hungover. but again, at least the kids ~~despise~~ enjoy it.

this much fun should be illegal! right, kids?

later that day, we headed out on scrimshaw for some more cocktails and fireworks. kiddos are at a great age for the fireworks. this seemed to make up for ~~the child abuse~~ fun times at the parade that occurred in the am.

the thursday fourth sorta kills me. i mean, it felt like monday, but it was only FRIDAY. eff, actually this was saturday? i lost an entire day somewhere? anyhoot, on saturday we ventured out on elihu. we picked up two of our fave people in manchester {they were in town for a wedding} for a trip to sand dollar cove.

while out on the water, we spied rambler, in town for the halifax race. rambler is owned by my former boss george david. guy is legit. seriously. google him. too bad his boat is so small.

are you bored yet? because the weekend is only half over. saturday night was the party mike o had planned for himself while he was moping around the two weeks prior to his surprise party, thinking no one cared it was his birthday. this worked out for everyone because saturday night was amaze. everyone brought it to the next level, mike o style. here's a pics of some of the ladies of the evening.

{that's me keeping it real with a burger in my hand. foul.}

excellent times.

and yesterday i was a ~~complete bag of crap~~ tired gal, so CBC took girls on the boat without me. and then we headed over to celebrate juney's 2nd birthday.

both my cameras and my brain were pretty much dead by this point but here's a shot of the birthday girl.
