FINALLY FRIDAY
What a week I have had!!! I am so glad today is Friday. I had to come back to work this week after being on vacation and that is never good. Payton started daycare Monday. We (yes that's both us) cried every morning this week but today. (I cried but she didn't see me.) There was no tears this morning from either of us and I was so happy.
I have lots of things to do this week at home. I have so many projects that I want to get complete. I am just hoping to get a couple of them done. I have been doing some thrifty shopping this week during lunch and I have lots of goodies to share in the next few days. Stay tuned for my posts on thrifty decorating. I can't wait to show you what I'm doing.
Have a great weekend and I will see you Monday!!

VACATION PICTURES
This is where we stayed. I loved our condo this year. This is the view from the beach. I would love to stay there again.
I took this picture from our deck. If you look closely, you can see my husband, my nephew, and my baby girl. The pier was right beside of our condo.
My nephew and baby girl playing in the pool.
Again, my nephew and Payton on the beach. This was as close as she would get to the ocean the first couple of days. But once she finally got in she loved it.
Payton eating ice cream after playing putt-putt. Strawberry is her favorite (she always asks for pink ice cream).
She finally gets in the water for the first time with her sundress on as we were taking a walk one evening.
Great trip!! I would love to again this summer.

I'M BACK!!!
I have returned from my vacation. We had a wonderful time and I have lots of great pictures to share. I will be posting some this week.
We returned on Saturday and had a SURPRISE birthday party to go to Saturday night for one of my really good friends who turns 40. I finally got to unpack on Sunday and then we had a birthday dinner my husbands grandmother last night.
Today I am back at work and it is Payton's first day at preschool. It was a rough morning. She cried and I cried. Hopefully, this afternoon will be better.
Things are on there way to normal and I plan to be back blogging tomorrow.
