A few weeks ago while the kids were at school, I went to our local Goodwill store to raid their kids' shoes. A colleague of DH's is traveling to Honduras for Engineers without Borders (yes, that's a thing) and she said the kids there are always in need of shoes, and I found exactly what I was looking for. Coincidentally the kids' shoes were right next to the athletic equipment, and some vintage wooden tennis racquets caught my eye.
I had previous pinned this pic (from Lonny, design by J+G Design) as a cute, but not a planned, idea for a kid's room (though this is a SoHo "bachelor pad").
So I decided to pick up the racquets ($10 for all four, which is nuts given what I've found they go for on CL and eBay) and did a mini 1/4 installation in Alistair's room. Mine is offset to accommodate the top one with a shorter handle. He walked in the first time he saw them he said "WOW!". I guess that is all you can ask for, right? ;)
Last week was spring break and as it goes around here, the kids both fell sick. Some weird on again off again week long puking virus, that hopefully has left for good. My kids are awesome in their own bed sleepers, but somehow the floor looked better to him last week. Poor little guy.
We went to Lake Geneva last weekend and upon leaving the Grand Geneva, Marielle threw what amounts to a tantrum for her. She wouldn't get off the lobby floor. Might as well take a pic then.
Work is underway on their big kid rooms, I can't believe how big they are getting. I'm buying 3Ts (to wear now!?), they are all signed up for summer camp, preschools for fall, and we're already looking at three year old programs. Slow down kiddos...
