Happy Birthday!

keeping cool

We are dying for some rain here in AZ. Each and every day we are taunted with wind, a slight drop in temperature, and that sweet, sweet smell of rain. Rain in the southwest is by far the sweetest smell of all.

In the meantime we are keeping ourselves cool in this unusually warm weather with visits to the pool and dips in the local watering holes.

We recently had the perfect summer outing. A BBQ festival that had a little for each of us. Lots of sunshine for the me, meat for mr. bejos, cold beer for us grown ups, and trains for the boy.

Project Chair, the end

This has been dragged on way to long, and for that I apologize.
I took pics of the final product almost a week ago but one silly thing has been holding me back.
I wanted to name the chair for a proper introduction. 
I've been toying with "Don" because of its mid-century appeal but I don't think it is sleek enough for the Don Draper I imagine.
Yes, these are the silly things that keep my mind occupied when I am not thinking about training a new person for my job and starting a new job and....you know what I mean.

So, without further ado, my unnamed chair

AFTER

Isn't he handsome? I'm sure he is blushing with that last photo (an afghan, really??), but seriously this project turned out beautifully - thanks once again to mama and papa bejos who not only spurred it on but did the work. The only problem is that I can't actually sit in the chair. Bejos boy has become a little possessive with his couch. "My couch mama, out!"

Big Boy Hair

I caved in.

 

Even though he acted ready - bringing his own yellow comb, it took 3 lollipops and a seat on mama's lap to get it done. 

I already miss the long shaggy do, but his hair grows fast.
