Not-So-Miscellany Monday

Miscellany Monday @ lowercase letters
Disclaimer: My miscellany may not be so random this week!
1. Billy and I are in the process of moving from our apartment to a townhome!  We will actually make the move in a couple of weeks, but we can't wait!  I'll give you pictures soon!

2. I really want to make an upholstered headboard.  When I googled it (I can't believe I'm using "google" as a verb), this came up too:
I'm thinking I'm in love with this door-as-headboard idea!  What other makeshift-headboards do you guys have?!

3. This weekend, we went to the lake with our friends Melissa and Chad.  It was a blast! We tubed and the boys wakeboarded.  One of my favorite parts was eating watermelon in the water.  I've never eaten one in such a messy fashion.  It was so nice that it didn't matter how much juice dribbled down our chins!

The boys had a blast, of course...

We got to hang out with the cuter ones of our family:
Anna Kate & Katie

Adam (Billy is behind the float pushing him - you just can't see!)

4. I got totally sunburned again.  The most frustrating thing is that I reapplied SPF 30 3 times!  I'm on a certain pill that can make you more susceptible to sunburn, and I think that is my issue.  Once I realized how fried I was, I covered up every piece of skin possible:

5. One of the neatest thing about our day on the lake was when dusk hit.  On one island in the lake, all of these birds migrate there every evening.  Tons of boats pull up to watch because it is just so amazing!
Crazy, right?!?

  1. That last picture is beautiful. I was at the lake this weekend. I finally got up on the wakeboard. I was so stoked. Might post a video later this week. I didn't have messy watermelon though. That would have been a great idea. next time!

  12. Thanks for dropping by today. I am following you now. Your blog is too adorable as are you and your hubby! How do you round the corners of your photos? Oh and I cannot believe how much your friend Katie (I think) resembles Lauren Conrad. I had to do a double take...

    Funny how both our posts weren't so random today, huh?!

    Have a great week!

  14. Love the pics of you and yours at the lake. I'm so jealous of you all in the middle of summer. I am huddled up next to the fire down here at the bottom of the world, contemplating the wisdom of going out to dig in the garden ...

  15. I think you're right! That's the best way to eat watermelon!

  16. When I was out on the bay a couple of weeks ago, I applied spf 30 so many times too and still got burned!! So frustrating. I hope you start feeling better soon :)

    The last picture of the birds is so neat!

    Love the headboard you found. Great and creative idea!
